You're having a bunch of hollow-legged friends over to cook out before booing Sheryl Crow taking in the fireworks on the Parkway. Problem is you haven't picked up a single foodstuff for your exceedingly elaborate Mediterranean-inspired menu yet � and you gotta work late Friday night. What to do?

Before you stock up on a stack of Tombstones, peep game: Di Bruno Brothers' Emilio Mignucci tells Meal Ticket that about 90 percent of the businesses in the Ninth Street Italian Market will be open tomorrow, July 4, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Typically the strip is shuttered up for Independence Day, but since the Fourth falls on a Saturday this year, most all vendors have made the decision to open (adhering to traditional Sunday hours) to accommodate folks like you. What's more, most of the merchants will be selling $5 coupon books packed with clippable discounts you can use during your last-sec shopping sesh.
