🎆 Macy’s 4th of July Firework Show

Macy’s 47th annual Firework’s show is taking place in the East River at 8 PM on Tuesday! Here is the map of the viewing locations on the Macy’s website. If you do plan on going to any of these locations be sure to get there early as these tend to be super packed.

I recommend finding a rooftop facing the East River and also getting to wherever you’re headed as early as possible because most places tend to fill up quick.

Where: East River, multiple “official” viewing locations in Manhattan & Brooklyn.

When: Tuesday, July 4th | 8:00 pm

More Info: Macy’s

🎷 NYU Summer Jazz Festival 

NYU’s summer Jazz Festival is happening all week! A lot of free shows and events!! I recommend checking out the site below to see a list of all events if you can not make this Wednesday show at the Provincetown Playhouse.

The Marta Sanchez Trio is playing on Wednesday! A little bit about Marta from the NYU Jazz Website: Born and raised in Madrid, Spain, pianist and composer Marta Sánchez is actively working in the contemporary creative music scene in New York City and around the globe.

This performance is free and open to the public.

Where: Provincetown Playhouse — 133 MacDougal St, New York, NY 10012

When: Wednesday, July 5th | 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

🖼️ MoMa: UNIQLO NYC Nights

The MoMa is staying open late this Friday and admission is free for New Yorkers! There will be music by DJs from The Lot Radio, along with beer, cocktails, and more at their pop-up bar.

I love the MoMa and have gone to open-early member hours but have not been to one of these late night ones! I do recommend RSVP’ing sooner than later for this if you plan on going!

Where: MoMa – 11 W 53rd St, New York, NY 10019

When: Friday, July 7 | 4pm - 8pm

RSVP: MoMa

🛏️ Bonus: Brooklinen & BAGGU Summer Celebration

Brooklinen is throwing an all things summer celebration! Stop by Brooklinen’s West Village & Williamsburg locations to enjoy Ice Cream, BAGGU giveaways for first 100 folks that show up, and more!

Okay, so personally, I have Brooklinen sheets and BAGGU pillow covers…so I will 100% be attending this and wanted to be sure to include it as a bonus since it did not make the initial cut of 3 events.

Where: 

Brooklinen’s West Village — 383 Bleecker St, New York, NY 10014

Brooklinen Williamsburg — 60 N 6th St, Brooklyn, NY 11249
