Early morning fireworks on 2nd and B



There were several reader reports of some kind of explosion(s) early this morning around 1.

A Reddit user uploaded a video providing the possible explanation — a street fireworks display ... the video appears to be from Second Street heading east toward Avenue B...

East 2nd St and Ave B, 1am, 12.16.18 from r/nyc


Next question is why. (Or what, if anything, the occasion was...)

Word on the street is that this was part of the opening celebration for the Holiday Clown-Face Shit-Show Smoking Gun Festival of Lights.
Exact festival conclusion TBA.

What on earth? This looks like it's either in the intersection of 2nd and B or right in front of the Duane Reade.

It's to mark the night when the Baby Jesus gave himself myrrh smokey eyes and sang I'm Every Woman.

This was definitely loud as hell. I live on Delancey and it woke me up.

Happy December 15th everyone!

Pretty sure this had to do with the opening of a new club/lounge at 25 Ave B. This anon may have been at said party a couple hours earlier. There is no proof of this and Giuliani backs this statement.
