You cannot see the Boston Fireworks on the 4th because of the large tree at the end of the playground. Go to the Burger King parking lot to see them.

a great view of the city on a clear night. the tower is open on new year's day - worth waiting in line to climb to the top for a truly spectacular view.

There are 2 days a year when the City opens the monument to the very top where the view is excellent: The block party, generally 2nd or 3rd weekend of Sept, and New Years Day commemoration of 1st flag

This is the site where the first United States flag was flown on January 1st, 1776.
