So, with the holiday coming up just around the corner, we want to know: what are you doing for Independence Day this year? Since Brooklyn’s getting dissed for the second year in a row by the Macy’s fireworks show, are you still checking them out? Or maybe you’ll be too exhausted from the 95th annual hot dog eating contest out at Coney Island. Or maybe the Brooklyn Museum’s Target First Saturdays? Even if it’s more your style to BBQ all day or get out of the city, we still want to know. Tell us in the comments!
To help get you in the mood, check out these great fireworks photographs by Barry Yanowitz from last Saturday night’s display along the East River in celebration of the Children’s Day at the South Street Seaport!

I’ve got plans! They are awesome plans! Emily and I are seeing the Cyclones play on Sat and will spend the entire day at Coney. On Sunday we’re brewing an Independence Beer! (Style suggestions welcome). Monday is a day to do whatever!
