Friday, Jun 30, 2023 By CityRealty Staff, CityRealty contributor

On Tuesday, July 4, the Macy's Fourth of July Fireworks will be set off from five barges along the East River in Midtown Manhattan. This year's show promises to bring new effects, colors, and shapes to the sky with the world's most iconic skyline serving as a backdrop.

Seven official viewing points have been set up along the East River in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens; the event will also be broadcast on NBC and Peacock. But some lucky residents will be able to watch the live show directly from their building's lounge or roof deck, if not their living room. We take a look at listings along the firework route.
