FIREWORKS
New Yorkers will tell you the best firework display in the world is the show over our skyline on July 4th. Make sure you don’t miss it, so get there early for the best viewing spots along the East River Greenway in Manhattan or the Williamsburg and Long Island City waterfronts. Macy’s has this suggested list for the best points to catch the show: https://mcys.co/2MwmaH0
