I've tried several places (Paley's Place, Higgins) and they are all closed. Anyone know of a place that this East Coast foodie, dying for a good chow but on a tight schedule, could visit?

If Carlyle is open on the 4th, that's where I'd go, call 'em and ask: http://www.carlylerestaurant.com Besides, it's away from the river and all the craziness down there due to the Blues Festival and the fireworks.
