The annual Ringling Brothers Elephant walk across 34th Street where the circus elephants (and horses) emerge from the Queens Midtown Tunnel and take the scenic route to Madison Square Garden. Only in New York can you blame an elephant for causing 5th Avenue traffic... Lots of NYPD presence... either to protect us from them or them from us - I have no idea. A cold but otherwise fun, free, and freezing experience. Forget the animal rights protesters, this is just fun to watch, even for the children inside of us.
