Go big or go home for America 250.
As the nation marks its 250th birthday this upcoming weekend, hotels, restaurants and nightlife hotspots are pulling out all the stops to remind us why we’re proud to be born in the USA.
While citywide viewings of Macy’s 4th of July fireworks show are generally free, open to the public and fun for the whole family, major hospitality groups are capitalizing on this milestone celebration by offering luxe ticketed experiences to keep the red, white, and blue party going all night, some even into the wee hours of the morning.
From $125 for a sky-high dinner to poolside drinks over the East River, and $10,000 for private VIP tables, The Post rounded up the hottest, no pun intended, NYC 4th of July events to check out if you’re looking to celebrate the stars and stripes in style.
The good news is that tickets are still available.
