So Liberty harbor may be better choice if the fireworks are in the east River? You'll have to forgive me as my knowl;edge of NYC is pretty poor, despite living in upstate NY my whole life.
I will definately check out the waterways guide.
Wayne, the last time I was in Sylvan Beach, it was definately hopping at night. Had some great ribs and wings, and a good number of cold beers.
Thanks again for the tips.
