How to Celebrate July 4 Like a Real Housewife of New York City

Ramona, LuAnn and Sonja give you their Independence Day plans and preferences.

Real Housewives of New York City

Sure, anyone can throw some burgers on the grill and hang out in their backyard, but what does it take to celebrate the Fourth of July like a member of the Real Housewives of New York City? Well, as you may have imagined, it involves a little wine and some relaxation -- at least for Ramona Singer, LuAnn de Lesseps and Sonja Morgan.

During a recent stop into Bravo HQ, the three RHONY ladies told us that their Independence Day plans varied (can you believe Ramona and LuAnn aren't partying together?), with the expected beach time for two of them and a little yoga escape for one. Who's doing what?

LuAnn told us that she considers the "perfect" way to get down on the Fourth "is my family and a glass of rose in my hand. Just being relaxed," adding that she's going to have her toes planted in the sand "for a Fourth of July bash on the beach." Smartly, the exact location was kept to herself.

Ramona is beaching it up as well, but not before cranking out a little work and promotion beforehand. "I'm leaving to Cape Cod to do two wine signings for my pinot grigio, flying back actually on July 4 to go to the Hamptons," Ramona shared. We have to ask: When there's a glass of pinot in hand, can it really be considered work?

And unlike her two counterparts, Sonja is ditching the waves and the sand for a different kind of relaxation. "I'm going back to my yoga camp, staying in a cabin," she said of hre not-so-luxe Independence Day getaway. She says she's looking forward to "a little me time, because I'm busy the rest of the year and my daughter will be away with her dad.

If you could spend the Fourth with any Housewife, who would it be? Comment away!
