The upcoming holiday weekend is usually filled with fireworks, home grilling and pool parties–but in case you want to venture out beyond the backyard barbecue this year, here are a few places to check out for festive dining and drinks.
The Ben

The hotel’s rooftop bar, Spruzzo, is selling tickets for exclusive access to its direct fireworks views. Admission begins at 5:30 p.m. with DJ Adam Lipson & Friends spinning tunes until the waterfront fireworks show at 9 p.m. Tickets for the table service, which range from $50 – $400 per person include a food and drink credit and cost depends on where you want to sit- like the VIP cabanas, poolside or at the fire pit.

Farmer’s Table – Palm Beach

The second outpost of the healthy eats restaurant is celebrating Independence Day with a brunch that stats at 10 a.m. The lawn party starts at 3 p.m., where you can bring your own chairs and blankets and enjoy live music. There will be a cash bar and a BBQ tent serving up everyone’s favorite summertime treats like hot dogs and burgers. If you want to go all out, there are VIP tickets for a prix-fixe dinner that include a prime fireworks viewing and a bottle of Prosecco.
