Valentino Pier
It’s not the biggest spot, so if you want a prime view—from the end of the pier—you better come to this Red Hook jetty early. “It’s actually a lot nicer than you might expect,” one Yelper wrote of the fireworks show from here. “You’ll also get unobstructed long distance views of fireworks in New Jersey.” Nice!
