Boom! Where to Watch New York City Fireworks
New York City is known to go all out when lighting up the skies for the 4th of July, and after a hiatus due to COVID-19, it’s back and better than ever. Be sure to get a front row seat this weekend with five of the coolest spots across the boroughs.
Queens:
American Brass (2-01 50th Ave) in Long Island City will serve brunch, a raw bar and drinks menu midday and a three course dinner for $75 a person at night. Views will be as insatiable as the food with the fireworks positioned directly in front of the restaurant on the waterfront. Say goodbye to crowds of thousands and sit back and relax at American Brass .
Manhattan:
What better way to take in the glow than 42 stories in the sky at The Sentry (435 E. 35th St.) atop the American Copper Buildings? The private social and pool club is open to ticket holders for one day only — July 4th! The Sentry will transform this Sunday into a tropical paradise from 4pm - 11pm with a DJ, BBQ and epic view of the Macy’s firework show. Spending the day poolside on America's Birthday is easy and tickets include 4 drinks and can be purchased by visiting https://www.simpletix.com/e/summer-in-the-city-tickets-72797

Brooklyn:
Visitors can watch the skyline shine with fireworks with Fornino at Brooklyn Bridge Park's Pier 6. The rooftop will open beginning at 12pm (weather permitting) serving generations of Neapolitan pizza creations. In addition to fabulous pizza made in wood burning ovens, the eatery also serves specialty cocktails for the complete 4th of July experience. Reservations are a must and a $50 surcharge will apply to capture all of the action from this BK rooftop.
Staten Island:
If you have not been to a Clinton Hall location you are missing out. The newest Clinton Hall (55 Richmond Terrace) at Empire Outlets in Staten Island will open its doors for an amazing July 4th shindig. The Supercraft beer hall will have draft beers, signature cocktails, and over the top dishes like their award winning Double SmashBurger. This will be complemented by a fireworks display from Empire Outlets on the water, which is free to attend.
