Media invitations got out Friday for a press preview of the new Apple Store in Manhattan — the city’s 4th — scheduled to be unveiled Saturday, November. 14.

The store, placed on a nearly three-sided site at Broadway and 67th Street, is well-positioned to get attention from the crowds and television cameras heading for Central Park West to catch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade less than two weeks later.

New York has been good to Apple (AAPL). The glass cube of its flagship store is thought to be the highest-grossing retail outlet on 5th Avenue, bringing in an approximated $35,000 per sq ft, nearly double the gross of Tiffany’s sales floor and triple Harry Winston’s, according to a New York real estate expert interviewed by Bloomberg reporters last summer.

NOTE: An earlier edition of this story had the Macy’s parade route wrong. It’s been converted. It will begin this year at Central Park West and 77th St., Pass across Columbus Circle then head over to 7th Ave. See here
