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.<p> 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.<p> Sadly, the cast of <i>Glee</i> will <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2009/10/12/glee-thanksgiving-parade-nbc-dumped/">not be performing</a> at the parade, a lame decision juliana 2009-11-02T12:54:20-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/7/13/184617/911 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/cellarbar_fangtasia.jpg" class="top"><p> We were just doing some cruising on Twitter and we came across this <a href="http://twitter.com/lsberg12/statuses/2621865140">tweet</a> which had us crackin' up and a little hot and bothered at the same time <blockquote><p>The bar in the bottom of our hotel, <b>Cellar Bar</b>, is literally Fangtasia from True Blood.

Well, not exactly. They do keep the drinking and driving (read: parking) deals separate. During the work week, the overly stressed and recession fearing can over indulge in a three-hour happy hour starting at 5pm in the <b>Cellar Bar</b> (above). (The hotel's website says bad boys and girls go here to be discreetly naughty and listen to DJs spinning an eclectic mix of sounds.) <p>Come the weekend, the over-the-top lucky, or, bridge & tunnel crowd can take advantage of the shockingly kind (by New York City standards) complimentary valet parking on Friday and Saturday nights.
