It’s every American’s favorite holiday- filled with beer, BBQ, fireworks, friends, family, and of course the grill! If you don’t happen to have any plans of your own on the Fourth of July, there are plenty of places that will be having their own celebration that invite everybody!

 1. Michael Psilakis’ Lamb Burger- It may be Greek, but nothing says American food like a big, fat, juicy burger. So stop by either Fishtag or Kefi restaurant on the Upper West Side and order one!

2. Fourth of July at Michael Mina’s Wit & Wisdom
If you’re in the Baltimore area, bring your family and friends and join Wit & Wisdom for great food, live entertainment, face painting, temporary tattoos, and more!

3. Denizen Rum
It’ll probably be pretty hot out while you’re grilling those burgers outside, so here’s a refreshing Liberation Cocktail recipe to help cool you down

4. Watch Fireworks at Dream Downtown
The PH-D rooftop lounge at Dream Downtown will definitely be one of the best spots in NYC to watch the fireworks, mainly because of its terrace located on the 12th floor. However, Chef Manuel Trebino, who was on “Top Chef” and is currently the executive chef at Marble Lane, will also be there to cook some delicious lobsters!

5. Nathan’s Famous Hotdog Eating Contest
No Fourth of July event list would be complete without including the classic Hotdog eating contest at Coney Island. So stop by at 12pm and see if Joey “Jaws” Chestnut will dominate another contest.
