The hottest office perk in NYC today: a front-row view of the Knicks parade

• Some lucky New York office workers scored a prime view of the New York Knicks parade on Thursday.
• Photos show office workers hanging out of windows to watch the Knicks celebrate their historic 2026 NBA Championship win.
• The massive crowds also snarled early morning commutes for New Yorkers working in the financial district.

While crowds swarmed in for a chance to see the New York Knicks NBA Championship parade, some workers were able to enjoy the action from the comfort of their office.

Working out of a building overlooking Broadway in lower Manhattan was the hottest office perk on Thursday.

And while some New York office building windows don’t open, many do — offering a chance to toss confetti or hear the full volume of the crowd’s chants.

Employees quickly took advantage of the coveted elevated viewing angle, with some hanging out of their building’s windows.

Business Insider was able to join in the excitement, with our reporters and editors standing on top of furniture along the windows from our New York newsroom.

It’s been 53 years since the New York Knicks last won an NBA Championship.

The only catch for office workers: You had to first get to your building, which made navigating jam-packed subways and closed-off portions of the street.
