If you’re staying in the city for the 4th of July, add Harvard Square to your itinerary for the day. One Reason Garden Bar at the Charles Hotel will be open from 12:00-9:00pm (weather permitting) with a special from Taqueria El Barrio, so you can soak up some sun with a cold drink in hand. They’ll be serving up America’s most patriotic food: a bacon-wrapped hotdog with lettuce, tomato, jalapeno relish mayo and salsa macha. Wash it down with an icy Frozie Classic Marg or a local beer or wine while sitting back and catching a breeze at one of their shaded tables. If you need to cool off in the AC, you can book a res for lunch or dinner at Henrietta’s Table or pop into Noir Bar just a few steps away.
