Fourth of July festivities abound this week(end) as blue passport holders come out to party. Enjoy more traditional celebrations with AmCham, Blues Room, Bubba's (a barbecue and golf tournament), Otto, Bulldog Shanghai and Malone's, or take it to the next level with a more raucous time by raising a glass to Uncle Sam at Attica or I Love Shanghai. There's plenty more to keep you entertained this week once the stars and stripes have been put away. Make sure to do at least three of the following: check out the Second Mecooon Film Festival Screening at Downstream Garage (with 23 films, can you go wrong?), sample some South African red wines at Enoteca, hit up the Torres Wine Dinner at the House of Blues & Jazz, get your groove on at Bar Rouge's So Happy in Paris party, jam to PK-14 at Windows Underground, or rock to No. 1 Korean at Yuyintang or at Live Bar later in the weekend and, of course, party with The Bug at The Shelter. Muse Empire devotees can also hit the Summer Foam Party at BACI / Park 97 and DJ Scooter & Lavelle at M2. Also, don't miss the soft opening of Pier One's bar V Bar this Saturday.
