Royal wedding viewing parties in NYC will have cake, drinks and English-inspired fun

Don your fascinator and set your alarm clock — the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle is here.

New Yorkers on this side of the pond may be a bit removed from the hoopla, but we have our own ways of celebrating.

Bars and restaurants across the city are hosting viewing parties paired with English breakfasts and tasty drinks, so you can partake with the pack on Saturday.

Here’s a look at some participating venues. Cheers!
