We already gave you a comprehensive guide on the best spots to watch the Macy's 4th of July fireworks show, but what if you're one of the many New Yorkers who decided to ditch town for the holiday? Why should you be forced to watch the madness on TV? The Wall Street Journal published this guide to fireworks all over the area. We can personally vouch for a great show in Katonah, and if you somehow black out before the fireworks on the 4th you can haul ass to Rye for a belated display on the 5th. If you're still around, you can catch the early show at Wolfe's Pond Park in Staten Island. [Via Pat Kiernan's Twitter]
