No way out, for hours
Paradegoers should expect to stay put for hours — because the NYPD won't let anyone out.
“Once you enter the viewing pens, you will not be allowed to leave,” the NYPD posted on X.
And since no umbrellas are allowed into any viewing area, paradegoers should consider bringing rain gear, as the forecast calls for a chance of rain and thunderstorms.
