Assistant General Manager Michael J. Edwards commented, "Top of the Hub is the only restaurant in the city with this unique vantage point for the Fourth of July. Many of our guests join us with friends and family on the Fourth as an annual tradition. What better way to celebrate than with cocktails high above the city, a wonderful meal, patriotic music from the Pops, panoramic views, and a dazzling, birds-eye view of the fireworks over the Charles."
