The Empire State Building just revealed two special ticket offerings for an exclusive event, with unmatched views of the city’s firework display on the Hudson. Starting at 7:30pm on July 4, 200 lucky guests will have the building’s Observatory all to themselves. The evening includes beer and wine, DJs, and Americana-themed hors d'oeuvres by Executive Chef Morgan Jarrett including soft pretzels, hot dogs, mini reuben sandwiches, burger sliders, cotton candy, and snow cones. At 9pm, visitors will experience a top-tier viewing of the fireworks display from the 86th floor open air observation deck at 1,050 feet. Tickets are priced at $550 per person.

And that's not all. For the first time ever, the Empire State Building will offer up its 102nd Floor Observatory to one group of up to 10 people for a private viewing of the fireworks display at 1,250 feet. This premium experience costs $15,000 and includes high-end food and drink, and a designated VIP Empire State Building host to tour the group through the reimagined Observatory and assist them throughout the evening. This option also provides unlimited access for the event's duration to festivities on the 80th and 86th floors, as well as a two-hour open bar with red-white-and-blue cocktails, from 7:30pm to 9:45pm.
