Description: Surround yourself with stunning theater, music, and dance at Lincoln Center Festival 2009. For three exciting weeks in July, artists from around the world share their stories on the human experience, ranging from tragic to enraged, from poignant to hopeful and joyful.

This year's world-class theater features the return of visionary director Ariane Mnouchkine and her acting collective Le Théâtre du Soleil, who examine the threads that connect people universally in Les Éphémères. Piccolo Teatro di Milano and Teatri Uniti di Napoli perform Trilogia della villeggiatura, an uproarious satire on the Italian middle class starring and directed by Toni Servillo.

Eclectic musical offerings come from this country and abroad. A New Orleans-style party heats up with A Tribute to Wardell Quezergue, joyfully celebrating the "Creole Beethoven" and the unsung heroes of American music. Justin Adams and Juldeh Camara flaunt their mastery of percussive Afro-Blues on a program with rising Malian star Issa Bagayogo. Two leading Berber singer-songwriters make U.S. debuts, Idir and the "Queen of Chaabi" Najat Aatabou, and Dennis Russell Davies and Maki Namekawa perform innovative works for two pianos.

Internationally acclaimed dance companies bring their signature styles to this year's Festival. Emanuel Gat Dance investigates the relationship between movement and sound in the North American premiere of Silent Ballet on a program with Winter Variations, and Shen Wei Dance Arts explores the iconic choreographer's journey from China to America and back in the New York premiere of Re- (I, II, III).

Two acclaimed theater companies arrive at the Festival from Russia with deeply moving works: the Chekhov International Theatre Festival presents Boris Godunov, an expose of corrupt Tsarist Russia, and the St. Petersburg-based Maly Drama Theatre follows a physicist with a moral dilemma in Life and Fate. Also hailing from Eastern Europe, Budapest's Katona Jozsef Theatre performs Ivanov, based on one of Chekhov's most compelling characters; Polish ensemble Narodowy Stary Teatr delves into the mind of an obsessed scientist in Kalkwerk; and Hungary's Bela Pinter and Company perform Peasant Opera, a hilarious dark musical comedy.

Macy's 4th of JULY on the Hudson

The Biggest Fireworks Display in America Returns to the Hudson River!!
The skies above New York City will explode with some of the most amazing fireworks ever viewed this Independence Day. Once again Macy's, with the world's largest store in Herald Square, NYC, will host the 30-minute fireworks extravaganza that has the entire City of New York "oohing" and "aahing."

Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks in NYC is the largest display of pyrotechnic creativity and firepower in the nation. The show takes over a year to create from the musical score to the perfectly timed explosions of color that fire into the night sky. This awesome display will fire over 120,000 fireworks from all over the world!

The Macy’s fireworks display will feature the show's new soundtrack "American River" featuring The New York Pops as well as the national premiere of the American River Suite with music by Tony award-winning composer Stephen Flaherty and libretto by Macy's own William Schermerhorn with The New York Pops.

Macy’s fireworks barges will be positioned in the Hudson River between 23rd and 50th Street in Manhattan.

For the BEST VIEWS, head to 12th Ave. below 59th Street along 11th Avenue. Please note there is very limited viewing north of 59th Street on the west side.

Fireworks Skinny - You can essentially view the Fireworks from any area with an unobstructed view of the sky above the Hudson River off Manhattan.

Do not go to the East River this year! The location has moved to the Hudson River so last year's viewing areas don't work this year! DO NOT GO TO:

East River
Battery Park
Battery Park City
All Hudson River Piers (except limited access to Pier 54 and 84)
Hudson River Promenade between W. Houston and 59th Street
Hudson River Bike Path between W. Houston and 59th Street


Millions of spectators will marvel as the sky over Manhattan rumbles and explodes with fireworks and the air is filled with a patriotic music score that has kept us swinging, tapping and jumping through our history. If you can't be there in person, you can still catch all the action on Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks entertainment special broadcast live from the Intrepid prime time special on NBC beginning at 9:00pm EST. Fireworks start about 9:15 – 9:25.

The hotel is located in Financial District, next to Federal Reserve, 2 blocks from NYSE and Century 21 Department Store and 3 blocks from World Trade Centre. The room is small with a "student standard closet," a small desk, a chest, a LG LCD TV. Free wired/wireless internet in the room. No coffee machine, but Starbucks is on every block.... more

I booked a room here through Hotwire for $92. I was a little nervous because it's not a chain hotel and I wasn't sure what to expect. Overall, though, I was pleasantly surprised. It's very conveniently located on a side street in the Financial District near several subway stations. The staff was extremely friendly, and though one of the elevators... more

My sister and I booked this room shortly after they opened so we got the "grand opening rate" of $138. The room was worth every penny. I'm not sure it is worth $299 but if $299 is still less than the competition then it is worth it. We checked in on a Friday around noon and were staying 3 nights.... more
