actually, it was #1. I used to be on the inflation crew that would inflate (not blow up) the Macy's Thanksgiving day parade balloons. This used to be done the night before Thanksgiving on two closed off streets by the museum. The weather is almost always freezing, so they have heated busses, but they also open a floor of the museum so people can go in and warm up and sleep.

A friend of mine has a better story than mine. One year it was not too cold, so he slept under a three story Snoopy balloon in the middle of 77th street.
