Still scrambling for where to watch the Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks in NYC? Two riverside hot spots are offering ticketed experiences with unbeatable views—and they’re going fast.
Peck Slip Social in the Seaport District is offering front-row access just steps from the East River. Tickets start at $89 and include a Social Hot Dog, a Miller High Life, and guaranteed entry to the NYPD-controlled fireworks viewing zone nearby. Doors open at 1pm, with ticketed entry starting at 6pm. Arrive before 8:30pm—entry restrictions tighten sharply during the 9–10pm fireworks window.
