If you’re heading out for fireworks tonight, the obvious Brooklyn viewing spots include the Brooklyn Promenade, Furman Street under the BQE and Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park. There’s room for a lot of people between all these spots, but it’s a fair bet it’ll be extremely crowded. Further upriver, East River State Park in Williamsburg is going to be offering a front row seat given the positioning of the fireworks barges a bit further south than usual this year. That set of barges will be around 20th Street in Manhattan this year versus the usual 34th Street-ish spot. The park keeps track of the number of people inside and the gates are closing at 8:30. Hopefully, they’ll let in more people than last year.
Happy Fourth of July!!!
