The weekend is endowed with certain unalienable rights.
Your Perks: 1) More than half off a week’s worth of impossible-to-screw-up, date-worthy homemade dinners. Yes, you’re cooking. 2) A beer passport to Idle Hands Bar. This involves apps, wings and, of course, beer. 3) A concentrated blend of electrolytes that cures hangovers. This is important.
Rooftops. Cocktails. Barges. Explosives. Cartography. Our guide to the best rooftops for fireworks-viewing tomorrow pretty much has it all. And in case that was too subtle for you, you can just hover over, and then click on, any of these hyperlinked words and see it in all its glory.
Two Independence Day parties here: one, a rollicking Hamptons beach rager with Chromeo DJing and fireworks over the ocean. The other, a ping-ponging, karaoke-singing Flatiron extravaganza with kegs, ribs and lobster rolls. There is no wrong answer.
Some math:
A = A new, massive schooner-slash-oyster-bar on the Hudson.
B = A champagne-and-oyster party with views of fireworks and the Statue of Liberty.
A + B = Tomorrow.
Gotta love math.
“... and that’s when the girl with the sexy cheetah mask and fluffy tail squeezed her way through
the crowd...”
Oh, sorry, we were just talking about the animal-costume dance party going down in East Hampton. Were you
interested in that?

It’s 3am. Do you know where your blueberry pancakes are? Yes, yes you do. They’re at Bubby’s High Line, along with chicken and waffles and steak and eggs for their new midnight brunch. As if anyone’s ever out in Meatpacking after midnight...
