Macy's 4th of July fireworks!
The 31st Annual Macy's 4th of July Fireworks extravaganza is just around the corner. This is the largest display in America. The NY Sun reports that this years display, which is always touted as having 55 times more fireworks than anyone else, will contain 40,000 shells. To give you some perspective, that's 1300 explosions in the first minute alone - the Sun reports that "during an average 20-minute fireworks show in America, only 500 shells are fired."
Will be watching the sky light up from the FDR Drive by the East River, getting ready to head out soon
