Randee Dawn Thanksgiving morning in New York City makes for a very special event: the Thanksgiving Day Parade. For nearly a century, New Yorkers and tourists alike have gathered alongside Central Park West and 6th and 7th Avenues, braving the weather and enormous crowds for a chance to view giant balloons, floats, marching bands, clowns and performers.
But this year’s parade was made even more special for Chase United Cardmembers, who were treated to a unique VIP event. They gathered before the parade’s kickoff at the Museum of Arts and Design at Columbus Circle, and were then whisked up to Robert, a restaurant on the ninth floor, where they were treated to a vast breakfast and brunch buffet, craft activities for children and adults, unique photo opportunities and a curated gift bag to take home.
Perhaps most exciting about the space was the view from the floor-to-ceiling windows. The vista opened to reveal the trees of Central Park bursting with seasonal color and a long view of Central Park West and Columbus Circle below — a key point of the parade route.
Chairs and pillows lined the curve of the windows to create a comfortable viewing gallery for the parade, which began at 8:30 a.m. The special viewing event has been held for 12 years and has become one of the most popular events offered to Cardmembers.
“In addition to the unique United Airlines benefits provided to our Cardmembers, the United co-branded credit cards provide access to exclusive events and experiences,” Laurinda Rainey, managing director and general manager of United Airlines Co-Brand Card Portfolio, explained. “Our team curates once-in-a-lifetime experiences, putting you closer than ever to richer, more meaningful moments that truly make life more

Wham! taking the lead for the peak position on the charts.The news follows a neck-and-neck race between the iconic ‘80s pop duo Wham! And Eurovision star Sam Ryder over the past week, with their respective songs ‘Last Christmas’ [1986] and ‘You’re Christmas To Me’ [2023].At the first look at the race last week, just 42 chart units stood between the two taking the top spot on the UK charts, however, this week it has been revealed by the Official Charts that Wham! are in pole position, and have widened the gap between Ryder’s Amazon Music original track – which remains at Number Two.However, it doesn’t seem likely that the charts will stay this way until Christmas, with Ryder set to play a fan-exclusive gig tonight (December 19) in Shoreditch, London, in a push to promote the song in time for Christmas Day.Similarly, today (December 19) The Pogues are sharing a special, limited-edition physical run of their own iconic Christmas song ‘Fairytale Of New York’ in a push to climb the charts.Originally released in 1988 and featuring Kirsty MacColl, the track is being reissued in memory of the band’s late singer Shane MacGowan, who died “peacefully” in hospital from pneumonia on November 30. He was 65 years old and his funeral took place in Nenagh, County Tipperary on December 8.All proceeds from the reissue will be donated to the Irish charity Dublin Simon Community, and the release also arrived alongside a fan campaign to get Fairytale of New York to Christmas Number 1 for the first time.The push for the top position on the charts has also been endorsed by Shane MacGowan’s widow, Victoria Mary Clarke.
