Landing in NY on July 4th afternoon for a 5-day trip. Are there any July 4th festivities that are not super crowded? It seems like watching the fireworks is the #1 thing to do but I don't want to have to go some place hours early just to get a spot. Any tips, fireworks or no fireworks would be great!
