Last week, Macy's reportedly changed the location of the barges for tonight's fireworks... something to keep in mind in case you had plans for watching from, say, the South Street Seaport or Brooklyn Heights. You won't have a view like you did last July 4. The five barges will be located in the East River between 24th Street and 41st Street.
This map via Macy's has a rundown of viewing spots.
The fireworks will also impact driving/parking around here. Gothamist has a full list of closures, including:
• East Houston Street between Baruch Place and FDR Drive
• Avenue C between 13th Street and Avenue C Entrance Ramp to FDR
• Avenue C Entrance Ramps
• East 6th Street between Avenue D and FDR Drive
• East 10th Street between Avenue D and FDR Drive
• 14th Street between Avenue C and Avenue B
These roadways will be closed roughly from 2 p.m. to 2 a.m. The fireworks are from 9:20 to 9:50 p.m. And you still have time to memorize President Whitmore's "Independence Day" speech.

We don't celebrate our independence day, we celebrate our independence. Sheesh!
True! But it was a nod to President Whitmore's speech in Independence Day.... in which he ends with the line "Today, we celebrate our Independence Day!"
