今年的梅西獨立日煙火從哈德遜河改到布魯克林橋。在曼哈頓下城,布魯克林北側的 east river 兩邊都是看煙火的好地方。官方網址:http://social.macys.com/fireworks/;介紹文章:http://www.newyorkled.com/morenyseasonal_4th_july.htm

=========================================================
由於紐約新市長是布魯克林人,對獨立日煙火轉到紐約和新澤西之間的哈德遜河道上,非常不滿,因為布魯克林居民看不到。所以他一上任,就安排吧獨立日的煙火遷回到 east river,這樣曼哈頓和布魯克林的居民都可以看到。
市長剛宣布了這一計劃,引起新澤西很多居民的不滿。但是沒有辦法。澤西市長決定,今年在獨立日,七月四日,在 Liberty Park 舉辦盛大煙火晚會,而且是全天的活動。以自由女神像和新世貿中心為背景,燃放新澤西最大的煙火盛會。還有全天的免費活動,包括著名的百威啤酒馬車,與世界名馬Clydesdale合影,carnival ride,food trucks,vendors,live music,free all day event 從中午到夜裏煙火晚會。網址:http://www.nj.com/sites/jc4th/
今年紐約布魯克林橋一帶肯定是人山人海,交通擁擠,所以打算去看新澤西這邊的煙火。實際上,從 Liberty Park 一角,可以直接看到布魯克林橋,還有那邊的煙火,隻是遠一點。有誰想一起去的,可以跟我聯係,也可以加我的微信:jy9735172382.
預祝獨立日快樂。
