I am glad to say that I have attended a few. Number 2…Number 24…actually that’s it. I love the Gay Expo, but I totally missed it this year by accident. Im feeling that the Gay Expo is #24. Power to the people. I love Halloween so I’ve made it out to the parade a few times. Love it. I even dress up. I religiously watch the Macy’s Day Parade every Thanksgiving but never BEEN. I am going to make it my mission to make sure I experience most of these events. Especially #6 and #12 because I love food.
What’s a shame is that I bet most tourists have done more of these events than the average born/raised New Yorker!

Foxy Brown. . .NICE! Wow all of those events. I wish I could go. I don’t have many funds for traveling these day. . .Hopefully soon.
I don’t either, don’t feel bad. NY is an expensive place, but many of these events are cheap or free. I am cheap and free too, so those are the events I most appreciate lol
