Pics: North Brooklyn’s 4th of July Fireworks Were Lit

The secret is officially out: the best viewing areas for the 4th of July fireworks are hands down in Greenpoint. Here are some scenes from around the ‘hood during yesterday’s poppin’ light show extravaganza.

My 10th NYC fireworks show, from #Greenpoint waterfront ✨💕 #Brooklyn #NYCskyline #empirestatebuilding #independenceday #fireworkshow #iheartnyc

Greenpoint was the place to be last night! Oysters, tequila cocktails, and a sweet unobstructed view of fireworks on the East River. * * * * * #adayinthelife #photodiary #fourthofjuly #prettylights #fireworks #homevideo #fleetwoodmac #everywhere #fucktrump #what_i_saw_in_nyc #greenpoint #brooklyn #aboutlastnight #createexplore #ig_nycity
