This year you will be be able to see the Macy’s Fireworks from the end of the 69th Street Pier in Bay Ridge. The fireworks are being set off on barges between West 14th and West 34th Street on the Hudson River.
The 58th Street Pier will have a good view of the Macy’s Fireworks as well .
Will you have a better view of the fireworks from the Brooklyn Promenade or Brooklyn Bridge Park at 334 Furman Street? Yes you will, but it will be crowded.
