Not everyone left the city this long weekend. Plenty stuck around to enjoy the 4th of July festivities, BBQ with friends, drink for liberty, watch competitive eaters gorge themselves on nearly inedible meat and watch the Macy's Fireworks. Check it out!
Nathan's International Hot Dog Eating
Where: Coney Island
Other Details: Five-time champion Joey "Jaws" Chestnut took home the Mustard Belt again this year by gorging himself on 62 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes. Sonya "The Black Widow" Thomas ate 40 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes and won the first-ever pink Pepto Bismol Belt in the women's division. Meanwhile, renegade Takeru Kobayashi set an unofficial new world record by downing 69 hot dogs in 10 minutes on a rooftop in the Flatiron District. Disgusting and yet, glorious. [Via]
Macy's 4th of July Fireworks
Where: West side
Other Details: After a day of BBQ and sunshine, thousands lined the west side last night to catch a glimpse of the Macy's fireworks. Beyonce performed "God Bless The USA" and her new single "The Best Thing I Never Had." Brad Paisley, who was completely overshadowed by her, also performed a number. [Via]
