Giant helium balloons drift above the rooftops, tethered by dozens of gloved handlers, while brass bands in sharp uniforms send music echoing off the buildings. Floats dressed in autumn colors inch past bundled-up spectators who have claimed their curb spots since before sunrise, thermoses in hand and breath rising in the cold air.
