It is your patriotic duty to eat barbecue at some point this weekend. Perhaps you’ll do so at a party with friends and family, but failing that, we’ve compiled a slideshow of worthy barbecue from around the city, and nearby parks where you can picnic. The park photos are from Microsoft’s new Live Maps “Bird’s eye” feature; hopefully they won’t sue us for using them!
