alice_odessa — New York

happy 4th from New York 🤩🥹⭐️ with the most incredible fireworks and Manhattan views if there has ever been a summer to fall in love with new york, it’s this one. 🥹🎆 there’s something about fireworks in this city that feels different. for a few minutes, millions of people stop rushing. strangers look up together. rooftops, ferries, parks and bridges all become the same place. this year in 2026 feels even more special. for the first time ever, the fireworks will light up both sides of manhattan, celebrating 250 years of america in the city that has taught so many of us to dream bigger. if you’re visiting this summer, i genuinely think you’ll remember this night for the rest of your life. i’ve put together my favorite spots to watch the fireworks, little local tips, and everything i’d tell a friend before experiencing a new york summer for the first time. comment NYC 🎆🗽 and i’ll send it to you. and if you’re someone who dreams about this city as much as i do, follow along. i share the places, moments, and little realities that make new york feel like home. 🤍
