Brooklyn Point
There is no better rooftop destination to watch Fourth of July fireworks than that of the highest infinity pool in the Western Hemisphere at Brooklyn Point, the tallest residential tower in the borough. Situated 680 feet above the ground - making it higher than the famous Marina Bay Sands Hotel pool in Singapore - the 27-foot-long pool offers nearly 360-degree views of the skyline and is surrounded by lounge chairs, al fresco dining areas and an outdoor movie screening space, as well as a stargazing observatory. All you need is some music, your patriotic decor, and your beverage of choice, and Brooklyn Point’s rooftop infinity pool is guaranteed to be the most spectacular spot to watch the fireworks against the Manhattan skyline and waterways. Should residents also want to barbecue during their Fourth of July celebrations, they can head down from the pool to the beautiful ninth floor landscaped terrace that is fully equipped with an al fresco kitchen with gas grills and dining areas.
