Top NYC July 4 Fireworks Viewing Spots—With Great Food To Match
Macy's 4th of July fireworks over the Brooklyn Bridge.. (Photo by) Getty Images Macy's famous 4th of July fireworks display in New York routinely switches back and forth between the rivers that border Manhattan; last year it was on the Hudson, this year it returns to the stretch of the East River surrounding the Brooklyn Bridge and the Seaport District. That means that several restaurants in that area will have unobstructed views and apart from the viewing opportunity, they're also featuring culinary offerings at the same level of the show. The House of the Red Pearl, one of the restaurant stops in the "Taste of Tin" on July 4th in the Tin Building by Jean-Georges. Tin Building by Jean-Georges Before the sky lights up, the Tin Building by Jean-Georges, star chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten's curated assortment of restaurants and food markets on the site of the former Fulton Fish Market, is offering a run through the various restaurants' specialties. The 'Taste of Tin' from 6:30 to 10 PM spotlights some of the chef's favorites: a selection of dim sum from The House of the Red Pearl; Steak Frites and Gruyère Cheeseburgers from T. Brasserie; specialty pizzas from The Frenchman's Dough; seafood creations including classic lobster rolls; cookies from the bakery and other treats. A premium open bar (including non-alcoholic offerings) is included in the ticket price (early bird tickets start at $353.86.) Afterward, although the bridge itself won't be visible, prime reserved seats on the South Plaza will have clear views of the fireworks launching from barges. A Chophouse Spread at the restaurant Carne Mare. Carne Mare Elsewhere on Pier 17 (but not the Rooftop—Macy's has full possession of that-or Chef Vongerichten's The Fulton unless you're invited to the private party there), another star chef, Andrew Carmellini, is presenting a chophouse celebration for the first year at his restaurant Carne Mare starting at 6:30 PM. (Early bird tickets: $325 plus tax.) Among the offerings: passed canapés such as Mozzarella Sticks & Caviar, Spicy Crab Lettuce Cups, Corn Agnolotti with black truffle and Scallops with saffron and trout roe alongside a raw bar of oysters, shrimp cocktail and snow crab claws. There will also be a carving station with Porchetta-Spiced Prime Rib, rustic potatoes, broccolini, and creamed spinach in addition to Wagyu Dogs and Grilled Clams from the grill. For dessert: Red, White & Blue Sorbet Cones, Lemon Meringue Tarts, Bomboloni and assorted festive biscotti. And after all of that: a reserved viewing space on Pier 17. The view from Harriet's Rooftop at 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge. 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge Over in Brooklyn, guests at Harriet's Rooftop at 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge will have a clear view of all from both the outdoor space and the floor to ceiling glass walled interior from 5 to 9 PM. There are several tiers of price and access: starting at $495.99 for general admission both to the rooftop and interior lounge plus an open bar and buffet; a starting price of $6,000 for a table indoors that includes bottle service, the buffet and an elevated menu including sushi, chilled seafood platters and caviar; a starting price of $10,000 for a table on the rooftop including bottle service and the same elevated food offerings and $15,000 for the same bottle service and food offerings with a table on the pool deck plus pool access for those who want to swim while watching the light show. The view from the rooftop of Time Out Market New York. Ali Garber Around the corner, on the other side of the Brooklyn Bridge, Time Out Market New York will offer clear views and a party atmosphere with live music on the fifth floor rooftop from 7 to 11 PM. There are ticket options for viewing only without the food ($160.10) but those opting for the buffet ($318.80) will get an unlimited spread from several of the market's vendors. Among them: Bark Barbecue known for their ribs, brisket and pulled pork; pizza specialist Fornino; plant-based Chinese specialties from The Rogue Panda and selections from the Levant region from Tanoreen. Providing the music: DJ Price Is Right; Natasha Diggs; L3NI of Soul in the Horn and DJ Scratch.
