Fire on The Hudson: Macy's Movin on Up

This Fourth of July, Macy's Fireworks Spectacular is movin' on up to the West Side, (literally). The fireworks show, which has been hosted in the greater New York Bay Area since 2001, will be relocated to Pier 84 in Hudson River Park to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson sailing up the river, which bears his name today. While it is good that Macy's is going for a bit of a change this year, it's not too fun for Staten Islanders, who like to drive down to Bay Street and get a good view of the display. Unfortunately, the best places to view the display is by heading to the city and standing along the piers between 23-59th streets. Another option would be to head up to North Jersey, but I think that it's not worth it. Finally, you could do what I usually do and watch it on NBC. Anyways, I'll try to do a Fourth of July post later in the week, but until then I hope you plan to have a fun and awesome Fourth of July weekend. Remember fireworks and firecrackers are quite amusing to watch. Just leave it to the professionals and the crazy guy down the street to put on a show for you.

This has been Ian Feldman speaking words of wisdom.
