Happy 4th of July! Celebrate Being an American Amsterdam-Style

If you're feeling nostalgic for some 4th of July fun on your Amsterdam visit, look no further than the Hard Rock Cafe to help you celebrate. The quintessentially American chain will host a canal cruise party Friday, July 4 at 8 p.m. (be there by 7:30). Tickets (€ 37.50) include food and drinks on board the hour and a half cruise, plus a drink token back on land. Come dressed to win the prize for best red-white-and-blue outfit. Surely you could get creative with all the Dutch national flag schwag leftover from the Euro 2008 tournament!
