Flying into NYC for Thanksgiving Day Parade

Linden? (I've never tried it).
Linden is an interesting little airport, almost like a country airport but
shoved under an 800' shelf of a class B.
That has consequences. First, if you're not comfortable flying near a class
B, you won't like it. And I do mean *near*. If you're 1" too high in the
pattern, you're in class B.
You can get into Linden w/o talking to ATC, but I'm the chatty type. One
trick people use is to follow the GPS approach. Follow it (laterally and
vertically) and you'll stay out of the class B.
Another consequence it that it's not a busy airport with multiple 24x7 FBOs.
If you're there during business hours, you can get a cab easily enough. I
don't happen to know if there's even a payphone or a board listing taxi
companies if you're there off-hours, though.
You can get a taxi to the local NJTransit stop.
TEB is probably easiest in terms of no-rental-car transit into the city. At
CDW, transit options are pretty poor. The Mac Dan FBO, though, rents cars
on the field (for which I'd recommend calling ahead).
