I'll be leading the Clan Buchanan in the parade once again on April 11. We usually have a pre-parade meet up in the Perfect Pint, 123 W 45th Street and then head over to the assembly point on 6th Ave. at 1:30 PM. We used to go to St. Andrews but it got so crowded over the years we needed a new venue.
I should be there as long as I can move my class schedule around. I am supposed to teach a class that day/ Hopefully I can just teach the morning and my partner will teach the afternoon.
The "official" after party has moved back to Stout, the headliner is Barleyjuice. Good band, but this party is an expensive ticket. I have been most years however. I liked the place it was at last year, but it was small.

New York does a good job with Tartan Week - lots of events and activities, but some are a bit expensive. To march in the parade, however, is free. The shame is that not many clans participate. It's easy to take a train in from Connecticut, upstate NY or New Jersey. Grand Central is only a few blocks from the parade start. Our group loves going in for the day and showing off the tartan.
I literally get my picture taken by dozens of tourists. Just a fun day all around. http://nyctartanweek.org/

LOL! My unit Clan MacCallum Malcolm is just ahead of yours. Hope to make it the Perfect Pint before hand.
