BANGS
ervation will still run $1,000
for two.
And on the ground floor,
the Osprey restaurant will
offer an al fresco, prix-fixe
meal and open bar, with reservations
starting at $800
for a table for two.
1 Hotel (60 Furman
St. at Doughty Street in
Dumbo, (347) 696–2505,
www.1hotels.com/brooklynbridge).
Rooftop and Lounge,
4 p.m.–midnight. The Osprey;
5 p.m.–midnight.
Imperial options
The Empire Stores
complex on Water Street
in Dumbo has several restaurants
that will host
Independence Day parties.
On the ground floor are
two restaurants with patios:
Sugarcane and Cecconi’s .
Both spots will hold parties
that night with open bars,
food included, and dancing,
though Cecconi’s also adds
a live band.
The rooftop also has a
tiny outdoor patio for the
new Time Out Market , and
a large inside area with
floor-to-ceiling windows.
Admission will cost you
$200, and that includes $100
credit to spend at the bar or
the fifth-floor food vendors.
Empire Stores (55 Water
St. between Main and Old
Dock streets in Dumbo, www.
empirestoresdumbo.com).
Cecconi’s, 7:30–11 p.m.,
$200; Sugarcane, 7–11 p.m.,
$175 (kids $95); Time Out
Market, 6–10 p.m., $200.
The Hook up
Red Hook should have
decent view of the sky, but
there are very few spots
along its industrial waterfront
where you can settle
down.
Try the Valentino Pier
(Ferris Street between Coffey
and Van Dyke Streets in Red
Hook). Free.
Rooftop rave
The many hotel rooftops
that have cropped up in
Williamsburg will have their
own parties, although the
fireworks will be far away.
The Babel Indepen-Dance
party at the William Vale
will have the focus on dancing,
but its height — on the
22nd floor Westlight restaurant
and the 23rd floor Turf
Club — probably gives you
the best chance of spotting
the bombs bursting in air.
Fourth of July at the
Westlight 111 N. 12th
St. at Wythe Avenue in
Williamsburg, (718) 307–
7100, www.westlightnyc.com/
events. 5 p.m.–midnight.
$95–$125.
Coney calling
There is another fireworks
display on the other
side of the Brooklyn! The
People’s Playground will
launch its own pyrotechnic
pageant at 9:50 p.m. on
Independence Day, which
you can view from anywhere
along the Boardwalk,
or from the rooftop bars of
Tom’s Diner (Boardwalk at
Stillwell Avenue) or Kitchen
21 (Boardwalk at W. 21st.
Street).
The Alliance for Coney
Island has honed its expertise
by firing off rockets
every Friday night during
the summer, from June 21
to Aug. 25, but the Fourth of
July promises to be especially
dramatic! And if you can’t
get enough, return on July
Fifth and Sixth for more!
Steeplechase Spectacular
Fireworks Show on the
Boadwalk (between W. 10th
and W. 21st streets in Coney
Island, www.coneyislandfunguide.
com). Free.
