It’s time to pull out the stars and stripes. Every year, millions of Americans celebrate Independence Day on July 4, and New Yorkers are no exception.
The national holiday in the United States will take place on July 4 as every year, an opportunity not to be missed to commune with New Yorkers. While more than 80% of the country’s population say celebrate national day every year, The Big Apple is full of varied events among which everyone can find their account. From classic fireworks in iconic locations to hot dog eating contests, anything is possible for Independence Day in New York.
Fireworks from Macy’s, Empire State Building… the must-sees of the 4th of July in New York
The fireworks launched by the Macy’s company at 8 p.m. from along the East River is undoubtedly the most anticipated event of the 4th of July in New York, the must-see par excellence. The challenge for the public remains to find the ideal place to admire this 25-minute show and for this, many places are available to them. All the rooftops of the various restaurants and bars in the city are likely to offer a breathtaking view of the fireworks. The Gansevoort Hotel and the Wythe also offer special events, for sums commensurate with the standing of the place. The Empire State Building itself hosts a party between its 80th and 86th floors. The iconic building in New York surely has one of the best views to enjoy the show. The only downside remains the price of the ticket which amounts to 525 dollars. Note that Macy’s has disseminated several public viewpoints and listed them on his site.

From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., more than 40,000 people gather to watch this emblematic contest in which participants must devour as many hot dogs as possible in the space of ten minutes. On this holiday, the Talea Brewery in Brooklyn is also opening the doors of its two nearby establishments, in Williamsburg and Cobble Hill.
