Grab an all-American meal before the Kenilworth parade

Nothing declares independence like wolfing down a burger as prominent as John Hancock’s signature. Before you head to the Independence Day Parade that circles through the Kenilworth subdivision, grab an all-American meal from some nearby eateries on Highland within a mile of the neighborhood, such as a burger from George’s Southside, voted No. 1 by 225 readers for three years straight. Or grab a monstrous meatball po-boy from Monjuni’s  and ribeye from Sammy’s Grill just down the road. The parade starts at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, and awaiting you afterward is a treat from Baskin Robbins ice cream on Staring Lane.
