Default Flying into NYC for Thanksgiving Day Parade

Besides the others mentioned, you have MMU (Morristown, NJ). They have a
Signature FBO.
It's about five minutes away from Convent station that's a straight shot
into Penn Station, which is on 34th Street, west side, which is where you
want to be. Their vans will take to the station (don't know about the
return trip from the station) Taking the train to/from Penn Station is
preferable to a bus to/from Port Authority. MMU is far less busy than TEB (a
consideration if you're flying in Wednesday) . There are hotels nearby too.

Also, there's HPN (White Plains, NY), a bit further away.

Hello all,

I was thinking about flying the family up to NYC to see the Thanksgiving

Day
Parade.

Anyone recommend an airport to fly in to?

I would rather not rent a car, just get into town somehow and then the

walk
or cab it while in the city.

Flight would be flown IFR from Norfolk (ORF) to wherever near NYC. Any
preferred routes/arrivals would be appreciated as well.

Thanks.
