Enjoy the Fourth fireworks down by the water and refuel with chef Peter McCarthy before the grand finale. His Kendall Square restaurants, EVOO and Za, are located one block from the Charles River and offer great vantage points for the festive display—as well as great eats. EVOO entrees like poached Boston mackerel with Maine mussels or beef tenderloin with sweet onions will keep you feeling patriotic for Independence Day. Call EVOO at 617.661.3866 to make a reservation for before or after the fireworks show.
