FOR BREAKING NEWS VISIT www.queenscourier.com JULY 3, 2014 • THE QUEENS COURIER 21 QUEENS CELEBRATES THE FOURTH BY QUEENS COURIER STAFF Friday makes the 238th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and, weather permitting, Queens residents can celebrate the country’s birthday with a boom. The Macy’s fi reworks extravaganza has moved back to the East River after a fi veyear hiatus, but the show is centered downriver in Brooklyn. Still, there are many spots to view the fi reworks — but not all of them are free. Z Hotel in Long Island City is selling tickets to watch the fi reworks show from their rooftop lounge. Tickets go for $66.56 for kids and $166.03 for adults. On Center Boulevard, LIC Landing by Coffeed will be hosting an all-you-can-eat barbecue with a view of the fi reworks for $100 a ticket. The Starstream VIII, which sails from the Flushing Marina, is having a waterborne viewing party that includes dinner and a cash bar for $125. Cheaper options include Resorts World Casino, which is hosting a free viewing event at Bar360 and on their sixth-fl oor parking lot. Another free option is the Gantry Plaza State Park in Long Island City on the East River. And baseball fans will be treated to a fi reworks display at Citi Field as the Mets host the Texas Rangers. But the baseball may be a washout and the fi reworks may fi zzle as a tropical storm was building in the Carolinas and preparing to make a run up the coast earlier in the week.
