West Side Highway and Surrounding Area
The best views of the fireworks show will be from the northbound lanes of the West Side Highway and 12th Avenue between 23rd and 59th Streets.

Twelfth Avenue and the northbound lanes of the West Side Highway between 23rd and 59th Streets will closed to traffic for public fireworks viewing.

New York City parking guru Gridlock Samtold us that the best viewing area would probably be south of 42nd Street along the pier by the Circle Line. We had spectacular views from the West Side Highway just south of the U.S.S. Intrepid near 45th Street last year. Other prime West Side public viewing spots include:
•Dewitt Clinton Park (access from 11th Avenue)
•Pier 54 (limited access from 14th Street)
