I must have been born under a lucky star. As a contractor to the United Nations Capital Development Fund for my business, I had a UN grounds pass and an invitation to bring my friends to the UN to view the Fourth of July fireworks on the East River. The UN Secretariat is located exactly on the East River at First Avenue, with an absolutely perfect location. So I made my friends very happy when I hosted a party and viewing for the national holiday. This year, Macy’s moved its traditional Fourth of July fireworks display to the Hudson River so, for the first time since I can remember, we had the traditional fireworks to the west of Manhattan rather than to the east. And my office is directly on the Hudson River, so I hosted a fun event. I wanted to share some photographs of the display and apologize for my tardiness in posting them.
