The Macy’s fireworks are back!  It has been an NYSN tradition to get people together to socialize, eat and drink before the show!  This year we will be gathering at The Pershing Square Cafe across from Grand Central from 5pm-8pm!  Following the party you can walk over in groups to watch the spectacular!
