You know what that means. Margaritas under the sun, family barbecues, and fireworks at night near the park. You’re allowed this weekend to skip the high-brow and go straight to the real deal. Here are some ideas for you:

In New York City, try taking in the fireworks at The Sky Room at the Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Times Square, found at 330 W. 40th St., nr. Ninth Ave.; 212-380-1195. Rumor is that the Northside Terrace is the best place to watch the show. It’s 400 feet off the ground, and there’s a new BAR with no cover. Reservations for table service are available.

In Washington, DC , don’t miss the Independence Day Parade! It starts at 11.45 am and runs from Constitution Avenue, from 7th to 17th Sts.

In Miami, bring your beach towels and chairs and come watch the fireworks on the beach! 8th Street and Ocean Drive, Miami Beach. Be there!
