Courtesy of our friends at Back Forty:
The All-American Backyard BBQ
Peter Hoffman is turning Back Forty’s backyard into an al fresco dream, with three dollar local beers, and a Fourth of July menu of clams and oysters on the half-shell, pork jowl nuggets with jalapeƱo jam, and a ton of other stuff. After the feast, head to the fireworks, just a few blocks east to the river.
