| It's America's birthday and for New Yorkers, the festivities - from fireworks, to barbecues, and clubs -are nonstop. Summer's here and it's time for everyone to celebrate. Fire Fire In Manhattan, the ultimate Fourth of July party is, of course, the annual Macy's Fourth of July Fireworks. With six barges in the Hudson, expect a fireworks show to remember. The light show starts at 9:20 p.m. and the New York Pops Orchestra and Mormon Tabernacle Choir will provide the tunes. Also tapped to perform - Straight No Chaser, Broadway Inspirational Voices, U.S. Army Soldiers and United We Sing. Traffic will closed until The theme is American Harmony. Party and Party and Party Need a place to party it up in the sun? Head to Brooklyn Fire Proof/ Nut Roaster. This Brooklyn hangout is part bar, part art gallery with a stage to boot. Aptly called "Sunday Best," this Fourth of July will have fresh ground burgers, corn on the cob and hot dogs from Taccolada. Rich Medina is djing, along with resident Djs Justin Carter, Eamon Harking and Doug Singer. Party starts at 3p.m. Admission is $12. Hot Dog! We've all heard of the great Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest. As usual, the contest takes place at Nathan's in Coney Island. Rooftop Viewing Hudson Terrace is having a fireworks viewing party as is Press Lounge at Ink48, which has a lavish wraparound terrace. For a cool $225, you can get an open bar and plenty of fancy appetizers. Of course, there will be Champagne as well. Another option is the Sky Room at the Fairfield Inn & Suites in Times Square. No matter, what you do or where you go, whether it be in Manhanttan, Brooklyn or Queens, there's bound to be a celebration. Just follow the fireworks and wish America a very, Happy Birthday. |
