For us long-term Lower Manhattanites, watching the fireworks on July 4 has been a decades-long emotional roller coaster full of excitement, confusion, and disappointment. Year after year, they switch rivers from east to west, move them further uptown, cancel them altogether, and — most recently — demolish the best viewing spot, Pier 17 at the South Street Seaport; fortunately, Pier 17 is in the process of being rebuilt.
Luckily, this year, Industry Kitchen — located at 70 South Street at Maiden Lane — is offering prime, waterside viewing space. Beyond the fireworks, there will be a buffet of food, drinks, and a DJ to keep you entertained while you wait.
The 5,000 square-foot venue can accommodate up to 300 guests with indoor and outdoor seating, offering unobstructed views of the East River with the Brooklyn and Williamsburg Bridges and Brooklyn Skyline—and, of course, the Macy’s Fireworks Show. Guests have the option to dine within the scenic outdoor area or to sit at the freestanding island bar, while sipping the restaurant’s thirst quenching signature cocktails, wines and craft beers.
Industry Kitchen
Appetizers will include Industry Kitchen house salad, made with heirloom tomato, and buffalo mozzarella; basil pesto grilled summer vegetables; and balsamic glaze watermelon gazpacho.
Mains will include baby back ribs made with Jack Daniels BBQ sauce; guajillo-marinated skirt steak with chimichurri; beer can-roasted chicken with lemon sauce; grilled miso-marinated salmon with pineapple jalapeno salsa; meatballs in tomato sauce; sausage and peppers; and, of course, good old-fashioned burgers.
On the side, there’ll be Industry Kitchen Rosemary Roasted Potatoes; corn on the cob; and smoked cheddar mac & cheese.
If you have room for dessert — and if you don’t right away, you will eventually, since the fireworks won’t start ‘til after dark — try the mini apple tarts, bourbon pecan pie, brownies, banana cakes, white chocolate cake, and a fruit platter.
