It started drizzling rain right as the fireworks started. The air was so humid and heavy that it trapped all the smoke and each time a firework went off it would light the whole sky with color.
We planned on going up onto our building's roof, but a whole bunch of NYPD cops were stationed up there to keep an eye on the crowds gathered at the waterfront and we weren't able to go up there! We headed down to our building's courtyard instead.
After the "official" fireworks were over, some people down on the street below started setting off their fireworks which was awesome because they were exploding right above the building.
