New York statewide rule
In New York, only "sparkling devices" are allowed, and only in counties and cities that have not opted out; all other consumer fireworks are illegal statewide. New York City and several counties — Albany, Bronx, Columbia, Kings, Nassau, New York, Queens, Richmond, Schenectady, Suffolk, Warren and Westchester, plus Middletown and Newburgh — ban even sparklers.
