These NYC streets will be closed for 4th of July fireworks
The west side of Manhattan is finally getting a front-row seat to the Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks this year—the first time in over a decade!
Of course, while New Yorkers head to the best spots to watch the July 4th fireworks, others will be avoiding traffic since many of Manhattan’s streets will shut down for the day.
