The Best Spots to View Fireworks in NYC & Miami

As someone who is lucky enough to call both New York City and Miami home, I’ve experienced the amazing 4th of July fireworks displays in both cities. Each city offers its own unique charm and perfect vantage points to enjoy the show.

Let me share with you some of my favorite spots to view fireworks in NYC and Miami, and Happy 4th of July!

Miami: Bayfront Park has beautiful fireworks, as well as live music and food vendors. The Biltmore's annual fireworks show is another great option. Access to the golf course lawn is free and open to the public! The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne’s Fourth of July BBQ offers a front-row view of the fireworks presented by The Village of Key Biscayne (tickets needed). Finally, Delilah offers 180-degree views of Biscayne Bay from their newly opened rooftop and is one of the hottest places to enjoy Miami’s fireworks this year.

NYC: Macy's 4th of July Fireworks show is tomorrow, July 4, beginning at 9:25pm. The show will no longer be on the East River, instead this year's fireworks will be launched from the Hudson River side of Manhattan. Prime public viewing will be available along the Hudson River, at multiple locations in Manhattan and New Jersey! Here are a few entry points on the West Side Highway: Christopher St. & Washington Street, W. 29th St. & 11th Avenue, and W. 40th St. & 11th Ave.

PS: If you live at 2 Cooper Square, our rooftop terrace gives you one of the best firework views in the city!
