HELL’S KITCHEN — Hundreds of fireworks will light up the Hudson River Friday to commemorate the Statue of Liberty’s 130th birthday and to celebrate Halloween weekend.

Between 9 and 9:05 p.m., the sparks will fly from Pier 81, located at West 41st Street past the West Side Highway.

The display comes courtesy of North River Landing, which operates the floating seafood lounge Fish Bar and the North River Lobster Company, as well as the photo app PABLO.

The spectacle also marks the first fall season for Fish Bar — which opened at the beginning of May — and Circle Line's extended November hours.

Fish Bar patrons can watch the fireworks from the boat’s rooftop before it sets sail at 9:15 p.m., or from Circle Line's 7 p.m. Harbor Lights cruise. 

The fireworks can also be seen from anywhere along the river near Pier 81, a spokeswoman said.
