Harbor Views With Fewer Hassles

Harborplace Isn't The Only Vantage Point For Prime Fireworks-watching This Fourth Of July

Bond Street Wharf:: Strolling down the streets of Fells Point, this striking patch of green at 901 S. Bond St. next to DuClaw Brewery seems to come out of nowhere. It's a great spot to stretch out a blanket and set up camp for fireworks watching. If the park is full, you can also walk east on the harborside promenade that connects the park to the end of South Broadway.

Canton Waterfront Park: : It's easy to forget about this stretch of grassy waterside turf at 3001 Boston St., since it's so far removed from downtown. But the Canton Waterfront Park is some great real estate for the Fourth. The sizable park - home to the city's annual Irish Festival - has brick promenades, trees and open spaces.

Bo Brooks: : When it comes to outdoor dining with a water view in Canton, it's hard to top Bo Brooks. The crab house at 2701 Boston St. has an outdoor bar in front, a patio out back and a floating dock for larger parties. On Saturday, this will be one of the better places to grab a meal and camp out for the fireworks in Canton. Call 410-558-0202 or go to bobrooks.com.

Bay Cafe:: The closest you'll get to Ocean City in Charm City, the Bay Cafe has a sandy beach, complete with palm trees. The wooden pavilion bar has the feel of a rum shack, and the drinks aren't too pricey, either. The Bay Cafe, 2809 Boston St. #409, can get loud and crazy on Friday and Saturday nights, and since the Fourth falls on a Saturday this year, expect it to be even wilder. The cafe is set back from Boston Street, next to a parking lot. Call 410-522-3377 or go to baycafeusa.com.
