(AP) - The recession may have dimmed Fourth of July fireworks in many cities, but New York is expanding the nation's biggest display from a new vantage point -- the Hudson River.

The celebration is moving back to Manhattan's West Side for the first time since the 9/11 terror attacks. New Jersey waterfront restaurants are selling out and one of Manhattan's busiest highways is shutting down on the West Side.

But for businesses on Manhattan's East Side, which benefited each July Fourth since 2002, it'll be no celebration. By Verena Dobnik.
