Lost in Paradise Rooftop (Partial View of the Fireworks)
Live View of the Macy's Fireworks Show
Event Description
Lost in Paradise sits atop the Z Hotel in Long Island City with a sprawling, unobstructed view of the Manhattan skyline, and on July 4th that view includes a live look at the Macy's fireworks display right across the East River. The rooftop's tropical vibe, Latin-inspired food, and craft cocktails make it one of the few spots where the party actually matches the view. Three separate spaces mean you can move between an intimate lounge, an energetic bar, and a dining room with direct western exposure to the entire skyline. No bridge, no building, nothing in the way. Just Queens, fireworks, and a really good time.
The Venue
Lost in Paradise Rooftop is a fully enclosed, all-season rooftop lounge atop the Z Hotel at 11-01 43rd Avenue in Long Island City, Queens. The venue features three distinct spaces: a Central Dining Room with direct western exposure to the Manhattan skyline, a North Lounge with intimate seating for cocktails, and a South Lounge built around the main bar for a higher-energy atmosphere. The rooftop accommodates up to 350 guests and serves Latin fusion cuisine alongside tropical cocktails and a full bottle service menu. A heated, retractable enclosure keeps the space operational year-round. Known for its weekend brunch, reggaeton nights, and themed seasonal events, Lost in Paradise has become one of the most popular nightlife destinations in Queens.

What's the dress code for Lost in Paradise on July 4th?
Smart casual. The venue has an upscale rooftop atmosphere, so dress accordingly. No athletic wear, flip flops, or overly casual clothing.
Is there a view of the Macy's fireworks from Lost in Paradise?
Partial. The rooftop looks out over the Manhattan skyline from Long Island City, and in 2026 the Macy's barges sit to the south near the Brooklyn Bridge. You'll catch the higher bursts in the distance down the East River rather than a head-on view, so the skyline setting is the main draw with the fireworks as a bonus on the horizon.
What's included with my Lost in Paradise ticket?
General admission includes rooftop access and DJ entertainment. Food and drinks including tropical cocktails, Latin-inspired bites, and bottle service are available for purchase. Check your ticket tier for specific inclusions.
Is Lost in Paradise an indoor or outdoor venue?
Both. The rooftop is fully enclosed with a retractable roof that opens in warm weather. You get the open-air experience on a summer night with the option of climate-controlled comfort.
