Map: Where to Watch Fireworks

Wall Street Journal

We already gave you a comprehensive guide on the best spots to watch the Macy's 4th of July fireworks show, but what if you're one of the many New Yorkers who decided to ditch town for the holiday? Why should you be forced to watch the madness on TV? The Wall Street Journal published this guide to fireworks all over the area. We can personally vouch for a great show in Katonah, and if you somehow black out before the fireworks on the 4th you can haul ass to Rye for a belated display on the 5th. If you're still around, you can catch the early show at Wolfe's Pond Park in Staten Island. [Via Pat Kiernan's Twitter]

There's fireworks tonight in Valley Stream at Firemen's Field on LI. WSJ seems to have left that off the map. They have a show every year for the 4th. America!

Why must there be only one July 4th fireworks show in one location for all five boroughs? The Macy's show is too much, too long, and too isolated. Better to have multiple smaller shows or have other big name NYC companies sponsor other shows.
