It’s not easy to cram what our forefathers intended to be a four-day weekend into one Wednesday. 

Make the most of the midweek holiday with a patriotic feast from The Dutch. Take out Andrew Carmellini’s Texas-style smoked brisket, mustard BBQ pulled pork, Asian-influenced ribs, corn on the cob, cornbread, and watermelon. Mint juleps are $10 if you’d prefer to eat at the restaurant.

The Soho spot also launched a three-course lunch for $28 that changes weekly depending on what’s fresh at the market.

Go fourth and party on. 

The Dutch, 131 Sullivan Street, at Prince Street (thedutchnyc.com). To reserve a Fourth of July feast, call 212-677-6200.
