## Resource

New York City explodes with Fourth of July chaos this weekend—World Cup games, Macy’s fireworks, tall ships, and maybe even a celebrity wedding shutting down Midtown. Coney Island’s nightly fireworks and hot dog contest add to the frenzy, while Times Square drops its ball eight times for America’s 250th. Plan ahead: traffic, crowds, and shuttles will dominate, especially Sunday. Stay smart, stay safe, and enjoy the spectacle.
