Specific Questions about going to the Macy's Parade in NYC?
In regards to your first question. If you want to be in the front row along the parade route, the early you get there the better. I would highly recommend dress warm for the parade. In regards to your question. The parade pass through Times Square. It has always pass through the area for the last 80 years or so. You can anywhere along the parade route indicated by the map at the link below. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s... In regards to you third question. Like any large parade, there will be port-a-potties located along the parade route. There no need to go into a store and ask the manager of the store to use the bathroom there. In regards to your fourth question. The PATH train is the cheapest way to go. However, if you want to go to Times Square, you will need to switch to the subway at 33rd Street. Take the uptown (northbound) "N", "R", or "Q" train (Yellow Line on the subway map) from 34th Street to Times Square. Alternately, you take NJ Transit into Penn Station and take the #1, 2 or 3 train (Red Line) from Penn Station to Times Square. Finally, small bags are allow. However, be prepare to have inspected by a police officer. Remember, New York City is still a terrorist target and the NYPD is not taking any chances. I hope this information is very helpful.

With Whole Foods and Apple as brilliant examples, what are some additional merchandisers who are indisputable leaders in their category?
Leadership of a brand is a bit hard to nail down in comparable terms, but you probably picked those two because they run successful and exclusive stores and are at/near the top of their category in brand reputation. Ikea would probably be a brand that fits your criteria in the home goods space."Leadership" as defined by strong revenue is commonly gauged by the "sales per square foot" metric. This Forbes article: Apple And The Other Most Successful Retailers By Sales Per Square Foot is a write up from 2014 that includes some brands you can guess and some you probably wouldn't. Murphy USA (a chain of gas stations/convenience stores) is apparently so well-run that they sell more per square foot than Tiffany & Co, despite the products no doubt carrying a far smaller average price tag. They indisputably lead the specialty/convenience store pack as not a single other one is in the top 15.
Can I get keys copied at The Home Depot?
You can get keys copied at most any hardware store, including Home Depot. One important thing to consider is that no hardware store has the ability to properly adjust a key machine. In fact the only folks I have ever met who could are all locksmiths. Therefore hardware stores who cut keys are simply trying to make some ‘easy money’ by quickly copying your key. Sometimes their plans for easy money works and the copy they make does function well enough. Many times the key doesn’t work, and the place that cut it hopes you won’t come back and insist they make a working key. I happen to know that the Lowe’s store near me no longer guarantees satisfaction on the keys they cut. Instead, if the key doesn’t work they will gladly make you another non-working key. They don’t mind trying over and over to make your key, but they refuse to give your money back and eventually you will give up and leave them alone—of course they keep your money either way
