This Week: Where to Watch the 4th of July Fireworks, NYC Kids Visitors Guide, Outdoor Dining for Families
Summer break, summer heat, summer camp—summer is all anyone's talking about. This week on our NYC site, we added a bunch of new posts to our Summer Fun Guide, including info on where to watch Macy's 4th of July Fireworks, a roundup of free boating programs and a list of family-friendly restaurants with outdoor seating. We also launched our first-ever NYC Kids Visitors Guide, so tourists can get to know our city the way we do (although even if you're a native, we suspect there are still things for you to discover).
On our New Jersey site, the summer fun continued with a roundup of water parks (including Sahara Sam's, which we're running a deal on) and a post about the best spots to watch those Macy's sparklers from across the Hudson. Our Long Island site also has a roundup of amusement parks that make for great day trips. If you're planning to head to Cape Cod this summer, our Travel site has a list of 25 things to do in Wellfleet.
Here's what else we shared this week on our NYC site.
