I saw the firworks last year on the Hudson River. New York City put on absolutely the best fireworks show I have seen and I have seen some pretty awesome ones.
I was lucky to be in New York for July 4th last year and had the luxury of being able to be on the rooftop of my friend’s apartment building. It was awesome with such a great view of a great show!
