This is our fourth installment and while <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/11/3/114950/488/hotels/The_Five_Best_Hotels_for_the_2008_Macy_s_Thanksgiving_Parade">last year's choices</a> and anything in the vicinity of Times Square still holds true, we decided to do away with the old and bring in some new choices. And it looks like the Macy's Day parade will be trying something new itself on November 26th. This year the parade will go down 7th Avenue instead of the old Broadway. The start will still kick off at 77th and Central Park West.
