...I really do.. and this year, to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson’s voyage to New York, the Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks took place over the Hudson River. Lucky for me as I live on the central/west/lower part of Manhattan island and I've never liked going to the east side to watch the fireworks.
I really feel fireworks "work" better on the Hudson River. Easier access for more people, I hope they continue to celebrate the 4th of July on the Hudson river in the future.
To avoid the huge crowds gathering in midtown, I walked down Chambers Street here in Tribeca to Rockefeller park in Battery Park City. It's actually the best local location to watch the fireworks because you can see both the Macy's fireworks upriver and the New Jersey fireworks at Liberty State Park across the river. It's great.
I noticed this year how many foreigners there were viewing the fireworks, I heard many languages being spoken and the language of "ooohs" and "aaahs" were understood by all.
