Happy Fourth of July

The hot dog eating contest at Nathan's at Coney Island in New York City is a 4th of July tradition. Japan's Takeru Kobayashi had won the contest an amazing four times, and repeated his victory this year with 53 3/4 dogs in just 12 minutes! I don't know about you, but the idea of eating so many hotdogs makes me feel kind of ill.

Other New York 4th of July tradition is the Macy's fireworks display on the East River. The synchronized show with four barges setting off the same display at the same time, all timed to go with music on the radio, is absolutely amazing.
