We are planning a family trip (10 or so of us) to NYC for next Nov. to see the Macy's parade among other things. Does anyone know of a good hotel on the parade route that we could book a room in with a view of the parade so we don't have to be on the street? I know they book up fast, so we're tyring to book now for next year. We really need a suite set up if possible since we have at least two Celiacs and we'll need to store some food. Thanks in advance if anyone can help!

Thanks Jessica. It was my sister's idea. We were going to go this year but decided to wait so maybe her kids can enjoy it too. I already have a list of places to eat in NYC that is too long for the trip! I'm so jealous of you New Yorkers up there! To have a bakery and a place to order pasta, pizza and beer. You guys are just plained spoiled! :lol:

We are going this year and in looking around for hotels I found this website which lists hotels on the route.

Hi,

Great idea but be prepared to spend a lot of money. I'm drawing a blank, but right now all I can think of is The Millenium, and I think possibly the Marriott Marquis and W Times Square.

Sadly I've lived in NY my whole life and only been to the parade once. But it was great. We actually watched from my friends office and we were eye level with the balloons. It was soooo much fun, and the perfect way to watch.

Make sure to go the night before to watch them blow up the balloons.

Hope you have a great time!!!!

Thanks and I know it's expensive for a room with a view of the parade. The lowest price I see this year was $499 and that wasn't for a suite or room with a kitchenette. Same room without a view was $349. We may end up a a B&B which we prefer anyway and several in Greenwich Village (and other areas) have mini kitchens for less than $300/nt. This will mean we'll have to leave at 5:30 to find a spot on the street and stand out in the cold but I know how to bundle up like an Eskimo (sp?) and keep warm. I think one B&B I liked was very near the park so that would be cool to walk down and see the balloons being blown up. Thanks for mentioning jkmunchkin.

Hi Tiffany--

Sorry I missed this! When we go to NYC, we usually stay at the Marriott Marquis--although it's been a couple of years since I've been there. I love the location--in the middle of everything, and the main reason we go is for the theatre.

It is expensive, but convenient and very nice. We just park the car in their garage, and take cabs or walk the whole time we're there.

We've never gone up for the parade, but love to go during the holiday season. :) I'm excited for you!

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
