Good evening! Wishing you a happy Sunday, March 24th, 2019 from all of us at Viewing NYC!

Here's what the weather looks like in the City right now.

First held on Nov. 27, 1924, the relatively small event was called the Macy's Christmas Parade, and it featured the store's employees, live animals, and a couple thousand spectators. Renamed the Thanksgiving Parade in 1927, the spectacle has evolved over the decades into today's massive, televised event, featuring Broadway acts, movie stars, and gigantic, colorful balloons.

Chocolatier and NYC pastry chef Jacques Torres — a.k.a. Mr. Chocolate — is well known for his delicious chocolates, cookies, truffles, confections, and ice cream amongst other tasty desserts. In this video from our friends at Eater, watch as Torres uses balloons and other objects to mold giant edible sculptures out of chocolate.
