Head to 169 Bar after the Manhattan Bridge 100th Anniversary fireworks and music show

Display location:over the Manhattan Bridge
City:New York
State:NY
Date:October 4th

Details: On Sunday, October 4th starting at 7pm we're going to celebrate something most of us take for granted, the Manhattan Bridge. The Bridge is turning 100 years old and we've got to celebrate it in grand NYC fashion.

At East River Park Ampitheatre on Cherry and Jackson streets (which is just south of Grand St and the FDR drive) at Corlears Hook Park. (Which funny enough is close to the Williamsburg Bridge) The Manhattan School Of Music Brass Quintet is going to start off the celebration with a little music; free of course. Then around 8:15 pm the fireworks show will start over the Manhattan Bridge.

It's not everyday even in New York that we get to see large fireworks show. It only gets better when you get to hear some music by the distinguished Manhattan School of Music.

After the fireworks end take some time out and head by a few bars down there in the LES. I highly suggest the 169 Bar (which they could leave out the 1 yea?!) located at 169 E. Broadway (bet. Rutgers & Madison). It'll only be about a 10-15 minute walk away from the park.

It's a great spot for people who enjoy live music and it has a 80 year running tradition. As a matter of fact I would go there before seeing the entertainment and fireworks because they have $3 well cocktails and $2 shots from 4-7:30 pm everyday!!

169 has kick ass music. That real rock, and old classic soulful R&B in between music acts. Its run by a New Orleans musician and is brining some of that New Orleans style and swing with it. The cover for a show will run ya $6 to go for a show but its well worth it.
