Williamsburg, NY
Park on street
Optimum Seasons: Summer
I am lucky my sister is a resident of Williamsburg. I was able to enjoy 4th of July (well, half enjoy) fireworks with my children on the East River! We experienced sunset and breathtaking views of Manhattan's skyline. Unfortunately, I had no idea the fireworks begin at 9:30 so by then, my toddlers were already hours into suicide watch! Whenever the fireworks are on the East River, and your children are older, or you have a babysitter, definitely park in Williamsburg....the views won't be nearly as nice as those in DUMBO or downtown Manhattan, but it gets the job done with far less people traffic!
Kill a few birds with one stone: Bedford Avenue dining!
