NEW YORK (PIX11) -- With just a month to go until July 4th, the annual question of where to find the best fireworks views has been answered: Macy’s is bringing its iconic display back to the Brooklyn Bridge and East River, promising spectacular sights for spectators and a major boost for local businesses.
Businesses along the waterfront are already looking forward to the crowds that will turn out for the event.
“That’s the idea, to bring all the business in here, all the tourists coming over for the fourth of July,” said Frank Meza of L&B Spumoni Gardens. “I hope everybody comes and is welcome,” he added.
Nearby, Ignazio’s Pizza is preparing for a bustling night as well. “We are so excited for the fireworks, it’ll be here in front of the restaurant. It’s going to be busy,” said Jose Saq
