Fourth of July events and more!

You: could go for a grilled cheese sandwich right about now.

As patriotic as it may sound, skip: the American cheese and opt for one of Campanile’s seasonal sandwiches offered every Thursday for their Grilled Cheese Night.

Why? Their Asparagus & Prosciutto and Fresh Burrata will put your square of cheese on white bread sandwich to shame.

Location: 624 South La Brea Avenue,  Los Angeles, 90036 (map).  Date: Every Thursday.  Web: campanilerestaurant.com.

ENJOY

You: scream for ice cream – and apparently, Coolhaus has heard your call.

Meet up: with the Coolhaus Truck at the Westfield Century City mall today to enjoy a free ice cream sandwich from this artisanal purveyor.

Why? In honor of the release of the film Horrible Bosses, Coolhaus is also giving away 50 free screening tickets to the first 50 people to arrive.

Location: Westfield Century City, 10250 Santa Monica Blvd., Los Angeles, 90067 (map). Date/Time: Thursday, June 30 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Web: eatcoolhaus.com.

SIP

You: are all for margaritas and shooters; however with your Fourth of July bash only three days away, it’s probably best that you take it easy Friday night.

Instead: sip on artisanal wines as the sun sets over Barnsdall Art Park where they host a weekly wine tasting followed by eats from a bevy of food trucks.

Why? Not only will your liver thank you, but charity too, as all profits from the evening  benefit Barnsdall Art Park Foundation programs and projects.

Location: 4800 Hollywood Blvd. Los Angeles, 90027 (map).  Date/Time: Every Friday from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.  Web: barnsdall.org.

CELEBRATE

You: haven’t made any Fourth of July plans…until now.

Spend: the day on high, sipping refreshing handcrafted cocktails and nibbling on bites from the new summer Grill Menu at the open air lounge of the Hotel Erwin in Venice.

Why? With the beach near by and 360 degree views, don’t be surprised to see fireworks all around.

Location: 1697 Pacific Ave, Venice Beach, 90291 (map). Date/Time: Monday, July 4, 12 p.m. through Tuesday, July 5, 11:30 a.m. Web: jdvhotels.com .

COMMEMORATE

You: are proud to be an American.

Celebrate: your patriotism at Santa Monica’s 5th Annual Fourth of July Parade on Main Street.

Why? Following the parade there will be an after party in Heritage Square where you can enjoy live music, food trucks and picnics on the lawn.

Location: The parade will begin at Santa Monica Civic Center, 1855 Main St, Santa Monica, 90401 and continues down Main St. (map).  Date/Time: July 4 at 9:30 a.m.

STAY

You: want to take advantage of the time your sweetie and you have together (hey, it’s called a summer fling for a reason).

Book: the “Just the Two of Us” package at the Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills and enjoy spa treatments, dinner for two at Culina, Modern Italian, drinks at Windows Lounge, poolside cabanas, and more.

Why? It is sure to make for a summer to remember.
