Celebrate the nation's birthday in style this year in style - plan to be in NYC for all of the Independence Day hoopla! New York City is known for throwing some crazy parties, including one of the biggest 4th of July celebrations in the entire nation. An out-of-this-world fireworks display is just one of the things the Big Apple has to offer, so what are you waiting for? Grab a party hat and pile your friends into a 15 passenger van rental - it's time to celebrate Independence Day.

Fantastic food is always a part of the fun

Food is an integral part of the 4th of July celebrations in New York City, whether you're planning to party in Brooklyn or Queens. If you have a sweet tooth, Action 15 Passenger Van Rentals recommends heading to the old-school Independence Day celebration in Historic Richmond Town for savoury homemade ice cream. Barbeques are always blazing on Roosevelt Island, and Water Street is known for having some of the best food vendors at their Great July Fourth Festival. But if you want to enjoy the ultimate food fest this 4th of July, look no further than Brooklyn's and Nathan's Famous Hot-Dog Eating Contest. Every year, participants from around the globe stretch their stomachs to epic proportions in order to beat the mind-boggling record of 66 hotdogs devoured in 12 minutes.

Let the kids go crazy

Summer vacation is in full swing by the time Independence Day rolls around, so why not treat your kids to an awesome family outing? New York 15 passenger van rental travelers can reserve tickets to the Fourth of July Kid's Cruise and Barbeque or enjoy a visit to the Children's Museum of Manhattan for a unique holiday experience. Or why not swing by the Bronx Zoo in your 15 passenger van rental and enjoy an afternoon of hooting and hollering at the primate exhibit. There are always plenty of face painters and street performers on hand at neighbourhood celebrations, so don't be afraid to drop by a local block party for a simple celebration.

Take a historical tour of the city

Did you know that amid the skyscrapers of Wall Street lies Federal Hall, the site where George Washington was sworn in, and the Bill of Rights was passed? If not, it's time for you to participate in a historical tour of the Big Apple. New York 15 passenger van rental travelers can head uptown to the New York Historical Society for information on all of the city's important landmarks. While you're there, remember to snap a photo of the chair used in the first presidential inauguration. New York 15 passenger van rental travelers can salute a different type of history in Queens at the Louis Armstrong House & Archives. In honour of the jazz legend's July 4th birthday, the museum offers two for one admission.

Endless entertainment all weekend long

Music can be heard coming from all corners of NYC during the Independence Day weekend, thanks to numerous festivals and live concert performances. For a rocking holiday, New York 15 passenger car rental travelers can head to the River to River Festival. The BAM Afro-Punk Festival is also held this weekend, which celebrates the African-American influences on modern punk music. And of course, who could forget the New York Philharmonic's "Musical Fireworks" performance.

And who could forget the fireworks!

It just isn't the 4th of July without a dazzling display of pyrotechnics over the East River. New York 15 passenger van rental travelers will find the best views at the East River Park, the South Street Seaport or FDR Drive. In Brooklyn, head to the Brooklyn Heights Promenade or the Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park. Want to make your 4th of July experience extra special? Then book you passage on the July 4th Cruise from Circle Line. This trip includes unparallel views of the fireworks, a live DJ and a sail around the Statue of Liberty.
