Don't miss today's ticker-tape parade to celebrate the New York Yankees' World Series victory. Here's what you need to know about the Yankees parade in Lower Manhattan today:
- The parade will begin at Battery Place and Broadway at 11:00 a.m. and proceed northbound on Broadway, ending at Chambers Street/Worth Street.
- Large crowds will begin gathering along Broadway early on Friday morning (there were a few guys camped out already when I passed through at 10:30 last night). Give yourself time to navigate through the screaming mob.
- The NYPD may begin street closings on Broadway several hours prior to the 11:00 a.m. start of the parade. Pedestrians will be able to cross Broadway at the following locations: Exchange Alley, Wall Street, Cedar Street, Cortlandt Street, Fulton Street and Reade Street.
- Stick with public transportation if you're traveling to Lower Manhattan today. The following subway lines will get you to the parade: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, A, C, E, J, M, N, R, W, Z. Word from the MTA is that the 4,5,6 trains are likely to be packed and you may want to consider the 1, J, M, Z, R, or W for less crowded service.
My photographer is going to try to get some pictures of the action. We would also love to publish YOUR photos of the New York Yankees ticker tape parade if you want to share. Contact me to submit your photos.
In the meantime, check out the photo above of the largest billboard in Manhattan (at 8th and 34th), which was transformed into a congratulatory ad for the Yankees yesterday (courtesy of the tequila masters at Patrón).
