Fast approaching for our New York friends is one of the biggest holidays of the summer.  Yup in four days time they’ll be celebrating Inpendence Day.  Although the festival essentially celebrates that the US isn’t a English colony anymore – enough time has passed that we can all get involved.  So to help you navigate all the events that are happening, we’ve put together our recommendations on the best places to celebrate:

Shots in the City

For those of you who’d like to toast the day with a cocktail or eight, why not try one of these bars:

The Hudson Terrace – Sunshine, cocktails and a great view of the Hudson River fireworks.

Macys - Fireworks & Shopping

The Rusty Knot – A nautical themed ‘Dive bar’ with special US themed cocktails on offer.

The All American Experience

Enjoy the finest US cuisine on offer in NYC

Burger Joint - Some call it the best burger in NY, must be great as its up against some stiff competition!

DB Bistro Moderne - Pricey, but still good value considering some of the treats they serve up

Smith & Wollensky – The choicest cuts of meat, served with loving care

Fear not if you are not New York based, for the American’s on British soil this Independence Day, and those London based who’d like a taste of what’s on offer the other side of the Atlantic, we’ve created the ‘Top American Style Bars in London’ for you to try.

Aren’t we kind!  Happy Independence Day!!
