Thought I'd share some of the photos from this past 4th of July fireworks display in New York.  This was our second time taking the Circle Line dinner/fireworks cruise and it was another hit!  Watching the show from the middle of the East River is infinitely preferable to standing for hours on the FDR with no bathrooms!  Below is a shot of our vantage point - somewhere just below 30th street or so.

The fireworks are shot from five barges in the middle of the river and make for an amazing display.  Over 3 million people gather on the banks of the river - about 2 million on the Manhattan side, the rest in Brooklyn to watch the displays.

You can see all the photos from our most recent trip to NYC, including our visits to the Bronx Botanical Garden, Brooklyn Museum and just great New York scenery under the "Our Travels: I Love New York" section of my web site.
