Once we got off the Subway, the NYPD were already posted everywhere, and sidewalks and roads were already blocked off. Tons of people were walking up and down the roads to look at the filled balloons that were tired down in the streets. So much fun seeing all the balloons up
close...not so much being packed in like sardines not being able to move. 
The first street we walked down it was really easy to take pictures next to the balloons. The next street with the rest of the balloons was a different story. We couldn't even get close to the balloons, you can see how far we were, and while we were there we heard at least two announcements for missing parents from children.
