Last fourth of JULY my buddy wanderlust and I saw the Macy's Fireworkers Spectacular from the top of the World Trade Center (the observation deck.)
Surprisingly, it was NOT too crowded and we got a spot by the window to see all the bright lights.
I have not seen the Chicago or the D-C shows yet (Except D-C on T-V.) I *MAY* go this 4th (depending on friend's avail.)
So for now NYC'S SHOW GETS THE BIG FOUR PAWS UP.
