Option 1: 4th of July at the Empire State Building
The Empire State Building will open its doors for an exclusive 4th of July celebration. Begin the evening on the 80th floor where you will be welcomed at the private reception with open bar and hors d’oeuvres. Later you can move to the observation deck on the 86th floor, for a view of the Macy’s firework display. For me, the Empire State Building is the most iconic place to be on the 4th of July.
