It's long standing FreeNYC tradition to spend July 4th surrounded in beer cans and BBQ down at the Jersey shore. This year however we're keeping the boozing local in order to get a glimpse of the infamous Macy's Independence Day fireworks. They are set off from the East River between 23rd and 42nd Streets, the Statue of Liberty, and the South Street Seaport. While the Statue of Liberty display is best seen from the West side, The East River and Seaport displays can be seen along the East Side and in BK where ever you can get a piece of unobstructed sky.
