If you have time away from work for Independence Day, chances are one of these noun combos is an accurate summation of your holiday activities. Sure, there are variations. No doubt some of you will choose Boca burgers or drink wine, liquor, or soft drinks instead of beer. And some of you are smart enough to lather up with SPF 50 and wear a wide-brimmed hat.

Menus and melanomas aside, my bigger point is this: Independence Day isn't the national day of historical commemoration or celebration it's supposed to be. Instead it's an "I found $40 in these old jeans"; a bonus day during which we're allowed to start fires and detonate explosives without ending up on a Homeland Security watch list. It's our national Sabado Gigante that, six out of seven years, isn't even on a Sabado.

The day's original meaning is now so obscure that not even self-described America-loving patriots call it Independence Day anymore. Instead we/they call it the Fourth of July or, more often, simply "the Fourth." It's not "What are you doing for Independence Day," it's "What are you doing for the Fourth?"

How did that happen? Not even the "War on Christmas" jackboots marching across Sean Hannity's damp fantasies would think to defrock Christmas by dubbing it "the 25th." Yet Independence Day has somehow become the only major holiday we effectively deny by refusing to call it by its given name. Calling it "the Fourth" is dismissive and insulting, like when an elderly homophobic relative refers to your longtime same-sex spouse as your "friend." The words we choose to describe things convey our intentions, regardless of whether we understand or acknowledge those intentions.

When I consider how Independence Day has devolved into a mindless national block party, I can't help but think about how the pace and priorities of modern American life discourage us from being mindful of much of anything. We live in a city, in a country, where quasi-police agents need to be stationed at crosswalks every morning to keep commuters from mowing down children on their way to school. If we're too busy not to kill schoolchildren without explicitly being told not to, we're too busy to consider the meaning of our civic holidays. We're too busy to consider much of anything.

The demands of work make us hurried and self-centered. Americans work very long hours compared to our peers in other wealthy nations. In 2008, the average American had only 18 annual vacation days and used just 14 of them. If you add up public holidays plus statutory requirements for paid time off work, our peers in Europe usually have at least five or six weeks paid time off annually.

Vacation time is only part of the "free" time formula. Our laws and traditions reinforce the message that workplace productivity (translation: profit) is our primary purpose for being. Everything else is distraction. Consider this, in the U.K., the country from which the U.S. declared independence, mothers get one year off of work to stay at home with a new baby. Nearly 10 months of that is paid. Anyone who has a child or knows someone with a child knows that time off work is anything but "free" time. By comparison, in the U.S. some women get three months off, unpaid, thanks to the Family Medical Leave Act. If new American mothers get paid during their parental leave, it's because they work for one of the just 10 percent or so of American employers that offer paid time off to new parents. More likely they're getting paid because they have an insurance policy through their employer that cuts checks to new mothers in the form of "short-term disability" payments. We're so obsessed by short-term profits, we view babies as distractions from workplace productivity. Even if you're a heartless major shareholder who hates babies, you should welcome them as future labor to exploit. By treating family as a disability, we're eating our own seed corn. A country that doesn't have time to raise its babies is a country that certainly has no time to think about things like the meaning of a holiday. So let's just chillax on our free day and try to be sober when we go back to work tomorrow, OK?

Independence Day's civic meaning is further devalued by the shallow way we choose to celebrate it. I'm not talking about meat and explosions. That's fellowship and fellowship is a wonderful thing. I'm talking our unhealthy urge to turn every civic event into a reason to genuflect to the U.S. military. It happens all over the country. It's just worse here in the South.

Being thankful for and honoring the sacrifices made by the women and men of our armed forces is important. We quite rightly have two days on our civic calendar set aside for honoring people of the military (Memorial Day to honor our military dead and Veterans Day to honor everyone who has served in the armed forces). One could argue that it's more important than ever to honor the servicewomen and men since the U.S. moved to a volunteer military after Vietnam. (Remember, as great as the Greatest Generation was, remember they were conscripted; the people who got Bin Laden volunteered for that job.) But that's not what we do on Independence Day. At Lenox, Centennial Olympic Park, or wherever you gather for the holiday, there's going to be some cursory hand-clapping for veterans while Hootie (or your event's equivalent) downs a Dasani between sets. This is not thoughtful. This is not civic-mindedness.

We can widen and deepen Independence Day's appeal by expanding our working definition of patriotism beyond hand-clapping and "America, fuck yeah." Instead of being a third military holiday, but with fireworks, Independence Day should put the significance of our armed forces into a meaningful context.

Remember: Independence Day doesn't commemorate a battle or a war. It commemorates the day a bunch of politicians clicked "Like" on a 1,300-word missive by a radical public intellectual. July 4, 1776, was a thinking, talking, and writing day, not a fighting day. It's not the day we won the battle for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It's the day a clutch of influential people agreed these were good ideas; the day they decided Americans should be citizens instead of subjects.

So just as people declare their intention to put the "Christ back in Christmas" and revive the spirit of that holiday by reclaiming it from consumer goods manufacturers and retailers, I urge my fellow Atlantans and Americans to begin making an effort to put the Independence Day back in the Fourth of July.

Here are a few simple things you can do. Read the Declaration of Independence. It's shorter than this essay. Pick up a book about the Declaration's primary author, Thomas Jefferson. Screw that. I know you're busy. Just read his Wikipedia page on your phone in the bathroom at work. Knowing a little bit about Jefferson is a soothing experience. If you're the type of person who watches the news and laments that our country is a scary, freaky, mixed-up place, you will find something like solace in knowing confusion and contradiction is in our DNA — courtesy of American Baby Daddies like Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson was/is a confusing and contradictory man. He was a man of letters, but a lousy public speaker. He was a theologian who distrusted contemporary religion so much he assembled his own version of the Bible. He tried to limit and abolish slavery as a government official, but kept slaves. Enormously heroic and deeply flawed, he was a complicated man; he was the John Shaft of his day. No one understood him but Sally Hemings.

You don't have to celebrate Independence Day my way. You can celebrate it your way or not at all. Do it however you'd like. It's a free country, after all. All I ask is you take a few seconds to consider that.

It's our national Sabado Gigante that, six out of seven years, isn't even on a Sabado.

The day's original meaning is now so obscure that not even self-described America-loving patriots call it Independence Day anymore. Instead we/they call it the Fourth of July or, more often, simply "the Fourth." It's not "What are you doing for Independence Day," it's "What are you doing for the Fourth?"

How did that happen? Not even the "War on Christmas" jackboots marching across Sean Hannity's damp fantasies would think to defrock Christmas by dubbing it "the 25th." Yet Independence Day has somehow become the only major holiday we effectively deny by refusing to call it by its given name. Calling it "the Fourth" is dismissive and insulting, like when an elderly homophobic relative refers to your longtime same-sex spouse as your "friend." The words we choose to describe things convey our intentions, regardless of whether we understand or acknowledge those intentions.

When I consider how Independence Day has devolved into a mindless national block party, I can't help but think about how the pace and priorities of modern American life discourage us from being mindful of much of anything. We live in a city, in a country, where quasi-police agents need to be stationed at crosswalks every morning to keep commuters from mowing down children on their way to school. If we're too busy not to kill schoolchildren without explicitly being told not to, we're too busy to consider the meaning of our civic holidays. We're too busy to consider much of anything.

The demands of work make us hurried and self-centered. Americans work very long hours compared to our peers in other wealthy nations. In 2008, the average American had only 18 annual vacation days and used just 14 of them. If you add up public holidays plus statutory requirements for paid time off work, our peers in Europe usually have at least five or six weeks paid time off annually.

Vacation time is only part of the "free" time formula. Our laws and traditions reinforce the message that workplace productivity (translation: profit) is our primary purpose for being. Everything else is distraction. Consider this, in the U.K., the country from which the U.S. declared independence, mothers get one year off of work to stay at home with a new baby. Nearly 10 months of that is paid. Anyone who has a child or knows someone with a child knows that time off work is anything but "free" time. By comparison, in the U.S. some women get three months off, unpaid, thanks to the Family Medical Leave Act. If new American mothers get paid during their parental leave, it's because they work for one of the just 10 percent or so of American employers that offer paid time off to new parents. More likely they're getting paid because they have an insurance policy through their employer that cuts checks to new mothers in the form of "short-term disability" payments. We're so obsessed by short-term profits, we view babies as distractions from workplace productivity. Even if you're a heartless major shareholder who hates babies, you should welcome them as future labor to exploit. By treating family as a disability, we're eating our own seed corn. A country that doesn't have time to raise its babies is a country that certainly has no time to think about things like the meaning of a holiday. So let's just chillax on our free day and try to be sober when we go back to work tomorrow, OK?

Independence Day's civic meaning is further devalued by the shallow way we choose to celebrate it. I'm not talking about meat and explosions. That's fellowship and fellowship is a wonderful thing. I'm talking our unhealthy urge to turn every civic event into a reason to genuflect to the U.S. military. It happens all over the country. It's just worse here in the South.

Being thankful for and honoring the sacrifices made by the women and men of our armed forces is important. We quite rightly have two days on our civic calendar set aside for honoring people of the military (Memorial Day to honor our military dead and Veterans Day to honor everyone who has served in the armed forces). One could argue that it's more important than ever to honor the servicewomen and men since the U.S. moved to a volunteer military after Vietnam. (Remember, as great as the Greatest Generation was, remember they were conscripted; the people who got Bin Laden volunteered for that job.) But that's not what we do on Independence Day. At Lenox, Centennial Olympic Park, or wherever you gather for the holiday, there's going to be some cursory hand-clapping for veterans while Hootie (or your event's equivalent) downs a Dasani between sets. This is not thoughtful. This is not civic-mindedness.

We can widen and deepen Independence Day's appeal by expanding our working definition of patriotism beyond hand-clapping and "America, fuck yeah." Instead of being a third military holiday, but with fireworks, Independence Day should put the significance of our armed forces into a meaningful context.

Remember: Independence Day doesn't commemorate a battle or a war. It commemorates the day a bunch of politicians clicked "Like" on a 1,300-word missive by a radical public intellectual. July 4, 1776, was a thinking, talking, and writing day, not a fighting day. It's not the day we won the battle for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It's the day a clutch of influential people agreed these were good ideas; the day they decided Americans should be citizens instead of subjects.

So just as people declare their intention to put the "Christ back in Christmas" and revive the spirit of that holiday by reclaiming it from consumer goods manufacturers and retailers, I urge my fellow Atlantans and Americans to begin making an effort to put the Independence Day back in the Fourth of July.

Here are a few simple things you can do. Read the Declaration of Independence. It's shorter than this essay. Pick up a book about the Declaration's primary author, Thomas Jefferson. Screw that. I know you're busy. Just read his Wikipedia page on your phone in the bathroom at work. Knowing a little bit about Jefferson is a soothing experience. If you're the type of person who watches the news and laments that our country is a scary, freaky, mixed-up place, you will find something like solace in knowing confusion and contradiction is in our DNA — courtesy of American Baby Daddies like Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson was/is a confusing and contradictory man. He was a man of letters, but a lousy public speaker. He was a theologian who distrusted contemporary religion so much he assembled his own version of the Bible. He tried to limit and abolish slavery as a government official, but kept slaves. Enormously heroic and deeply flawed, he was a complicated man; he was the John Shaft of his day. No one understood him but Sally Hemings.

You don't have to celebrate Independence Day my way. You can celebrate it your way or not at all. Do it however you'd like. It's a free country, after all. All I ask is you take a few seconds to consider that.

If you have time away from work for Independence Day, chances are one of these noun combos is an accurate summation of your holiday activities. Sure, there are variations. No doubt some of you will choose Boca burgers or drink wine, liquor, or soft drinks instead of beer. And some of you are smart enough to lather up with SPF 50 and wear a wide-brimmed hat.

Menus and melanomas aside, my bigger point is this: Independence Day isn't the national day of historical commemoration or celebration it's supposed to be. Instead it's an "I found $40 in these old jeans"; a bonus day during which we're allowed to start fires and detonate explosives without ending up on a Homeland Security watch list. It's our national Sabado Gigante that, six out of seven years, isn't even on a Sabado.

The day's original meaning is now so obscure that not even self-described America-loving patriots call it Independence Day anymore. Instead we/they call it the Fourth of July or, more often, simply "the Fourth." It's not "What are you doing for Independence Day," it's "What are you doing for the Fourth?"

How did that happen? Not even the "War on Christmas" jackboots marching across Sean Hannity's damp fantasies would think to defrock Christmas by dubbing it "the 25th." Yet Independence Day has somehow become the only major holiday we effectively deny by refusing to call it by its given name. Calling it "the Fourth" is dismissive and insulting, like when an elderly homophobic relative refers to your longtime same-sex spouse as your "friend."

    As many of you know, a research archivist named Greg Jarrell stumbled across the document while conducting a search on behalf of a researcher. It was bound in a mislabeled book.

    Which leads to this question: Exactly how the hell does one LOSE the Declaration of Independence? It's only the most important document in the country's history. You know, there wouldn't be a country if we hadn't declared our independence from England.

    If you have time today, go check out the original "sign your John Hancock."

    As many of you know, a research archivist named Greg Jarrell stumbled across the document while conducting a search on behalf of a researcher. It was bound in a mislabeled book.

    Which leads to this question: Exactly how the hell does one LOSE the Declaration of Independence? It's only the most important document in the country's history. You know, there wouldn't be a country if we hadn't declared our independence from England.

    If you have time today, go check out the original "sign your John Hancock."

To an English pub, of course. After all, we didn't throw off all things English in 1776, and lately we have a greater bond with the Brits than with our former allies against them — the French.

The Prince of Wales, at the  corner of Piedmont at 14th, is  ideally situated for a post Peachtree Road Race quaff, particularly if you finish early and can get a spot on the lovely,  lattice-covered patio. The weather will no doubt be hot and humid, so try a "shandy" — a mixture of beer and lemonade favored by lightweight British ladies. The full bar can also set you up with everything from a Bloody Mary to a Screwdriver, but was it a coincidence that they were out of Sam Adams?

Hang Time: True to the nature of a pub, this is a good place to wile away the  hours, although the $5 pints are not  particularly friendly for session drinking. The usual choices from the British Isles (Bass, Harp, Guinness) are on tap, along with the more traditional Boddington's and Tetley's (beer not tea). Beware the pours. My Boddington's possessed its requisite creamy head, but I noticed a Guinness go out that was poured in close to five seconds. The menu includes pub favorites like fish and chips and bangers and mash, along with typical American fare (freedom fries, anyone?). There's also a weekend brunch 11:30 a.m.-4 p.m.

Bunch a' Lads: The jukebox is loaded with favorites from your college days, no matter where or when you went to college — Londoners, the Clash and the Jam mingle with Welshman Tom Jones and American fare (the Pixies, Pete Yorn, Hendrix). There's darts in the back, ready for a game.

Stiff Upper Lip: If you're looking to meet new people, you'll need to cut into one of the groups of well-dressed college grads chatting around the tables. But the place is more about kicking back with friends than hooking up. The bartenders have a workman-like demeanor and the crowd is well-behaved. Don't expect to get in a brawl when some  bloke pinches your bird or insults your favorite footballer.

No shortage of fireworks lit up Atlanta's skies over the Fourth of July weekend. Thanks to a new law that went into effect on July 1, Roman candles and bottle rockets are now legal in Georgia. People were able to obtain fireworks for the first time in the state instead of driving to Tennessee or Alabama to get their pyrotechnic fix. 

?
Between July 3 and July 5, Atlantans called in approximately 155 fireworks-related complaints to the Atlanta Police Department. According to APD Sgt. Greg Lyon, no one in the city was taken into custody for violating the state's new fireworks law. (We've asked APD to pull similar figures on fireworks complaints and arrests from 2014 to compare the law's effects, if any.)

?
That doesn't mean the new fireworks law went into effect without a hitch. According to APD, Michael Durie was arrested and charged with reckless conduct on July 5 for allegedly lighting and throwing fireworks from a curb outside Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.

?
"The plastic wrapper from the fireworks was near his feet," an initial APD report says. "There were other people in the area that started running when they heard the noise. They thought it was gun fire and fear full of there lives sic. There was no one hurt from this incident."

?
Atlanta Fire Rescue spokeswoman Janet Ward says the department "has no data on fireworks incidents" from over the weekend at this time. Moving forward, she says, AFR officials will likely discuss with the city's legal department "the possibility and efficacy of placing limits on where fireworks can be employed" for future July 4 celebrations. 

?
However, the state law legalizing fireworks states that the "governing authority of a county or municipal corporation shall not prohibit the sale or use or explosion of consumer fireworks or products." That is, unless it's "expressly prohibited by general law." Whether those limits jibe with that provision remains to be seen. So unless state lawmakers tinker with the law, amateur fireworks extravaganzas — we're looking at you, incinerated Cabbagetown fireworks tent! — might live to see another day without restrictions."

No shortage of fireworks lit up Atlanta's skies over the Fourth of July weekend. Thanks to a new law that went into effect on July 1, Roman candles and bottle rockets are now legal in Georgia. People were able to obtain fireworks for the first time in the state instead of driving to Tennessee or Alabama to get their pyrotechnic fix. 

?
Between July 3 and July 5, Atlantans called in approximately 155 fireworks-related complaints to the Atlanta Police Department. According to APD Sgt. Greg Lyon, no one in the city was taken into custody for violating the state's new fireworks law. (We've asked APD to pull similar figures on fireworks complaints and arrests from 2014 to compare the law's effects, if any.)

?
That doesn't mean the new fireworks law went into effect without a hitch. According to APD, Michael Durie was arrested and charged with reckless conduct on July 5 for allegedly lighting and throwing fireworks from a curb outside Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.

?
"The plastic wrapper from the fireworks was near his feet," an initial APD report says. "There were other people in the area that started running when they heard the noise. They thought it was gun fire and fear full of there lives sic. There was no one hurt from this incident."

?
Atlanta Fire Rescue spokeswoman Janet Ward says the department "has no data on fireworks incidents" from over the weekend at this time. Moving forward, she says, AFR officials will likely discuss with the city's legal department "the possibility and efficacy of placing limits on where fireworks can be employed" for future July 4 celebrations. 

?
However, the state law legalizing fireworks states that the "governing authority of a county or municipal corporation shall not prohibit the sale or use or explosion of consumer fireworks or products." That is, unless it's "expressly prohibited by general law." Whether those limits jibe with that provision remains to be seen. So unless state lawmakers tinker with the law, amateur fireworks extravaganzas — we're looking at you, incinerated Cabbagetown fireworks tent! — might live to see another day without restrictions.       0,0,10   fourth of july events, Where to Watch Fireworks in Atlanta fireworks "Georgia" "fireworks" "Atlanta Police" "atlanta fire rescue" "Atlanta airport"   14726382 13083622                   Georgia's first Independence Day with legal fireworks results in 155 complaints, one arrest in Atlanta "

1. Be proud of your government: Gov. Nathan Deal has appointed his business partner and two top campaign contributors to the influential Georgia Ports Authority. 

2. A quick crime round-up: Atlanta Police are seeking several suspects who they say kidnapped a man during a home invasion last night in Cabbagetown. The man, who police say was not injured, was apparently taken by the suspects to withdraw money from an ATM. Also: Sketches have been released of two men who police say were involved in the recent robbery of the North Highland Pub. If you see 'em or know 'em, call the police.

3. ICYMI: We have new owners!

4. Finally: CL suggests you read Uncle Andisheh's wonderful essay reminding us that Independence Day is more than just the "Fourth of July." Some suggestions:

Read the Declaration of Independence. It's shorter than this essay. Pick up a book about the Declaration's primary author, Thomas Jefferson. Screw that. I know you're busy. Just read his Wikipedia page on your phone in the bathroom at work. Knowing a little bit about Jefferson is a soothing experience. If you're the type of person who watches the news and laments that our country is a scary, freaky, mixed-up place, you will find something like solace in knowing confusion and contradiction is in our DNA - courtesy of American Baby Daddies like Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson was/is a confusing and contradictory man. He was a man of letters, but a lousy public speaker. He was a theologian who distrusted contemporary religion so much he assembled his own version of the Bible. He tried to limit and abolish slavery as a government official, but kept slaves. Enormously heroic and deeply flawed, he was a complicated man; he was the John Shaft of his day. No one understood him but Sally Hemings.

Hike the Atlanta Beltline. Go swimming. Consider one of the many events we've selected. Listen to Simon and Garfunkel. Or torture yourself with some Lee Greenwood! Do whatever you wish! We're spending the day making fireworks in our garages so expect light posting unless major news breaks. Have a fun and safe holiday."

And then maybe I'll ride some motorcycles and watch some fireworks in the graveyard over there at Marietta Boulevard and hang out with the G.B.C. It’s a secret society, man.

It’s cool that you can walk through a neighborhood within a ten block radius of Atlanta and see people from all over the world. Best day to do that is on the 4th. Everybody barbecue,s but every culture has their own dishes. They all bring a little bit of home with them. It’s like, "Wow, I’ve been around the world today.""

Here at CL we are no exception, so we went ahead and put together a roundup of where you can calm your fireworks craving this Fri., July 4.

Not one to disappoint, Stone Mountain will celebrate the Fourth with a dual lasershow and fireworks display. Come early to enjoy all the park's attractions for the day and then find a comfortable spot on the Memorial Lawn to check out the new and improved Lasershow at 9:30 p.m., followed by fireworks from the top and bottom of the mountain. $10 parking fee per vehicle. 770-498-5690. www.stonemountainpark.com.

The annual Fourth of July event at Centennial Olympic Park is becoming a tradition for its family-friendly and fun activities. From noon to 5 p.m. bring the kids to enjoy arts and crafts, face painting, performances, stilt walkers, inflatables and more. Beginning at 5 p.m., local band Stokeswood will put the evening in high gear, with a performance from 911 Band following. The Atlanta Symphony Youth Orchestra headlines the musical event at 8 p.m. and will feature solo performances by actor Ric Reitz, vocalist Wendy Bennett and string trio True Dixon. The AirTran Airways Fireworks Spectacular will wrap up the event with an amazing show framed by the downtown skyline and synchronized to a selection of patriotic music. Can't make it to the show? 11 Alive (WXIA-TV) will broadcast the show live, and the music will be broadcast on radio station Star 94 (WSLC-FM). 404-223-4090. www.centennialpark.com.

The Prince of Wales, at the  corner of Piedmont at 14th, is  ideally situated for a post Peachtree Road Race quaff, particularly if you finish early and can get a spot on the lovely,  lattice-covered patio. The weather will no doubt be hot and humid, so try a "shandy" — a mixture of beer and lemonade favored by lightweight British ladies. The full bar can also set you up with everything from a Bloody Mary to a Screwdriver, but was it a coincidence that they were out of Sam Adams?

Hang Time: True to the nature of a pub, this is a good place to wile away the  hours, although the $5 pints are not  particularly friendly for session drinking. The usual choices from the British Isles (Bass, Harp, Guinness) are on tap, along with the more traditional Boddington's and Tetley's (beer not tea). Beware the pours. My Boddington's possessed its requisite creamy head, but I noticed a Guinness go out that was poured in close to five seconds. The menu includes pub favorites like fish and chips and bangers and mash, along with typical American fare (freedom fries, anyone?). There's also a weekend brunch 11:30 a.m.-4 p.m.

Bunch a' Lads: The jukebox is loaded with favorites from your college days, no matter where or when you went to college — Londoners, the Clash and the Jam mingle with Welshman Tom Jones and American fare (the Pixies, Pete Yorn, Hendrix). There's darts in the back, ready for a game.

Stiff Upper Lip: If you're looking to meet new people, you'll need to cut into one of the groups of well-dressed college grads chatting around the tables. But the place is more about kicking back with friends than hooking up. The bartenders have a workman-like demeanor and the crowd is well-behaved. Don't expect to get in a brawl when some  bloke pinches your bird or insults your favorite footballer.

To an English pub, of course. After all, we didn't throw off all things English in 1776, and lately we have a greater bond with the Brits than with our former allies against them — the French.

The Prince of Wales, at the  corner of Piedmont at 14th, is  ideally situated for a post Peachtree Road Race quaff, particularly if you finish early and can get a spot on the lovely,  lattice-covered patio. The weather will no doubt be hot and humid, so try a "shandy" — a mixture of beer and lemonade favored by lightweight British ladies. The full bar can also set you up with everything from a Bloody Mary to a Screwdriver, but was it a coincidence that they were out of Sam Adams?

Hang Time: True to the nature of a pub, this is a good place to wile away the  hours, although the $5 pints are not  particularly friendly for session drinking. The usual choices from the British Isles (Bass, Harp, Guinness) are on tap, along with the more traditional Boddington's and Tetley's (beer not tea). Beware the pours. My Boddington's possessed its requisite creamy head, but I noticed a Guinness go out that was poured in close to five seconds. The menu includes pub favorites like fish and chips and bangers and mash, along with typical American fare (freedom fries, anyone?). There's also a weekend brunch 11:30 a.m.-4 p.m.

Bunch a' Lads: The jukebox is loaded with favorites from your college days, no matter where or when you went to college — Londoners, the Clash and the Jam mingle with Welshman Tom Jones and American fare (the Pixies, Pete Yorn, Hendrix). There's darts in the back, ready for a game.

Stiff Upper Lip: If you're looking to meet new people, you'll need to cut into one of the groups of well-dressed college grads chatting around the tables. But the place is more about kicking back with friends than hooking up. The bartenders have a workman-like demeanor and the crowd is well-behaved. Don't expect to get in a brawl when some  bloke pinches your bird or insults your favorite footballer.
