Default Flying into NYC for Thanksgiving Day Parade

However, what is being described is a common route for tourists and

No, he indicated that he wanted to fly "right over ground zero." That's on land
and east of the corridor. Sounded to me like he wants to fly over lower
Manhattan at just under 1500'.

Hanging a left from the exclusion to head for CDW would not be a problem IMO,
though I tend to go a bit further north and avoid TEB airspace. I would be a bit
nervous about trying to contact TEB from the exclusion with intentions of
landing there. I think that's cutting the timing a bit fine. I think it would be
easier to come in through the class-B.

Roger getting the terminal chart. That's a near-necessity for that run.
