New York City Events

Don’t Miss the Excitement of NYC Events!

New York City is "the city that never sleeps." It is an exciting vibrant city that has many attractions, such as museums, culture, theater, parks, historical landmarks, and architecture. But, it is perhaps most well-known for its NYC events, such as the famous New Year’s Eve ball drop in Times Square and the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, both of which occur just outside The Paramount Hotel’s front steps.

The professional concierge staff at the Paramount Hotel can assist you year-round with arrangements for all events in New York City—winter, spring, summer or fall.
