The Frying Pan
Bar / Outdoor Activity / Restaurant
The Macy’s Fourth of July Fireworks display in New York City is the largest and most intense fireworks show in the entire nation. Six barges on the Hudson River between 18th and 43rd street shoot up over 40,000 shells into the night sky! Its 26-minute display means that over 1,500 shells per minute are blasting off along the two-mile stretch of West Side Manhattan. And the biggest party to witness the ignited skyline is on the West Side Highway between 22nd and 59th street. The area will be closed to traffic and transformed into one massive block party for the masses.
For a more unique viewing experience, go to the Frying Pan, an old vessel transformed into a restaurant/bar on the Hudson waterfront at Pier 66. The top deck will provide envious views of the fireworks, but make sure to arrive early in the day, because this limited-seating option is sure to fill up fast.
