Father's Day seems to play second fiddle to Mother's Day, maybe because of that whole mom-birthed-you-and-dad-was-just-there thing. But, dad deserves a tie just like mom deserves a bouquet of flowers. Time is running out, so if you're planning to take dad out in New York, buy him something outrageously expensive, or go the handmade route, get crackin'!
Doesn’t dad want a baseball beer cozy? Ultra-masculine!
The Sports-Loving Dad
Does your dad love outside sports? (Notice that I wrote “outside”…channel-surfing and beer pong do NOT count). Whether it’s baseball, golf, or event a visit to the new Sports Museum, New York has got you covered.
Chelsea Piers Golf Club
Chelsea Piers Pier 59, New York, NY 10001
Since Manhattan is a little on the sardine-side, the Golf Club at Chelsea Piers is not a golf course, but a driving range. Still, it looks out onto the Hudson and on the day before Father’s Day, a Nerf Football Throwdown is scheduled. Guess who’s going to be there? The Manning family!

Sports Museum of America
26 Broadway, New York, NY 10004
It’s the first museum in the country solely devoted to sports! Yay! It’s also $27 a pop! Boo. But, dad will appreciate it knowing that you are spending as much as a decent dinner would cost.

Yankee Stadium
River Avenue & 161, Bronx, NY 10451
The House that Ruth Built will be no more at the end of baseball season, so this Father’s Day is the LAST one you can celebrate by buying tickets to a game there. Too bad they are in next to last place.

Hopefully this dude won’t be at Shea Stadium!
Shea Stadium
12601 Roosevelt Avenue, Flushing, NY 11368
Just like Yankee Stadium, Shea will be staring down a wrecking ball come fall. The Mets showed a lot of promise last year before blowing it all, and they are struggling thus far, but ball games are almost always fun in my mind because you have an excuse to eat badly, scream loudly, and buy useless souvenirs.

The Gift Card Dad
Your father is impossible to buy for, so with the wonderful invention of the gift card, your stress is kept at bay and your dad is happy. But because gift cards are a little impersonal, add something personal. Make a card like the one at the top of this guide! These shirt-and-tie cards are super easy to make, and you can use any paper you have lying around. And, you know, it’s fun to pretend you’re in elementary school again with a handmade card and all.
Where to Buy for and/or Take Dad
The Fine Dining, Drinking and Cigar-Smoking Dad
So, your dad, ahem, Father, is into classier things such as brandy, scotch, cigars, caviar, and the like. Not a problem! New York caters to those who prefer the so-called finer things in life. Just remember that YOU will be picking up the tab, and it won’t be cheap.
Brandy Library Lounge
25 N Moore St, New York, NY 10013
This is the real deal: extensive list of brandy, scotch and other liquors, and leather couches to further class up the joint. Drinks are strong, so this would be the time to get dad “comfortable” and ask him all those questions about his adolescence and college years that he normally avoids.

Martini time!
Russian Vodka Room
265 W 52nd Street, New York, NY 10019
Not to be confused with the nearby Russian Tea Room, take dad here if he’s the vodka and caviar type. I have personally never tried the latter, but in terms of the former, don’t expect the crappy stuff of frat boy bars. Um, that’s a good thing!

Inside Nat Sherman’s.
Nat Sherman Inc
12 E 42nd St, New York, NY 10017
Most people think of Nat Sherman’s as merely a smoke shop, but there is also The Johnson Club Room to be experienced. The hours are very limited (closed Sundays and only opened till 7 or 8 pm most days), but it’s an elegant and intimate room to puff away in.

The I-Want-A-Gift Dad
Dad not in town for Father’s Day? No matter…buy him something at one of these New York establishments and get credit for acknowledging the holiday!
Thomas Pink
New York, NY 10048
Fancy pants! Or rather shirts and ties. Buy dad a gift certificate if you can’t decide AND if you want him to visit you in New York at some point, of course.

Barker Black Ltd
198 Elizabeth St, New York, NY 10012
A little old-school, a little subversive, this Little Italy spot should meet your shoe and ties needs.
