Get Him Out Of The House!
What are you going to do with your dad this Father's Day? Hmmmm... Take him to Chicago! Can't go wrong with the windy city! Get him out of the house and into Chicago this Father's Day, okay!
It's Dad's Day!
He helped raise you. He went to work endless hours to feed you. He smoked a pipe and said, “I love you.” Well, my father did some of those things. Definitely didn’t smoke a pipe, but you get the point.
Father’s day is for our fathers. Whoever you call dad, show him some appreciation and take him out!
Treat your dad to a beer brewed in Chicago! It’s local and it makes ya feel good. Goose Island is laid back, chill, and the food is great!

Pizza and Beer. Can't Go Wrong There
Chicago is known for it’s pizza. If you don’t have a lot of money to spend on dad this year, no worries. Pizza and beer is always a winner. Especially in Chicago.
Then, once you have him boozed up, see if he’ll buy you a pony!
Delicious pizza with big fat slices! I’m not kidding, this pizza is delich. It’s a little pricey for a whole pizza but it’s worth it in the long run. Dad will love it!

He's Been There From The Beginning
I love my dad. Good thing he knew how to throw me up in the air and catch me! Thanks, dad for that!
Dad's Can Be Presidents
Obama seems like a really awesome dad. Not only does he seem fun, but he’s from Chicago AND the President of the United States! How cool would that be? I think you’re a pretty cool dad too, Barack Obama!
Take A Boat Out On The Lake
Chicago is directly beside Lake Michigan. Make a day out of it, and go fishing on the lake! Who knows, you may catch more fish than dad. Wahooo!
You can rent bikes here or get a tune up on the bike you own. If dad doesn’t have a bike, take him here! It’s right along the lake and a great excuse to get some exercise.

Bike The Lake Shore Path
Get dad away from the desk for a while, and go biking along Lake Michigan. It will be great exercise for you both as well as a great view of the lake. Just don’t encourage him to ride without both hands!
Dads In Chicago Are Cool!
Don't Forget To Call Granpa!
He’s a dad too! Don’t forget to give him a call and thank him as well! Yay Grandpa’s!
Some people just shouldn’t be dads, ok.
Because all dads like to wear the same shirt. Be sure to steer him away…
Thanks Dad!
You are appreciated! Thanks for havin’ us~
Dad's Are Cool!
Admit it, they are! Even if they wouldn’t let us drive their Mustang when we were 16. That’s okay, I still love ya anyway!
If your dad wants to see downtown Chicago and experience authentic Chicago pubs, take him here. They’ve been around since the Great Depression. After your meal is over, stand under the tracks and watch the L go by!

Treat Your Dad To A Meal This Time
My dad always pays for my food when we go out to eat. However, this Father’s Day, I’m taking HIM out for lunch!
Sometimes They Can Be Embarassing!
Take it with a grain of salt. They are just having fun! They lived their younger years and now, well… they’re dads. Cut ’em a break. If they want to ride the pirate ship for $0.25 well let ’em!
Baseball Can Be A Bonding Experience
I’m not a HUGE fan of baseball, or the Cubs, but I figure, why not? This could be fun with my dad. Loud people screaming, beer flowing from the field below, and I get to spend time with my dad.
Can’t be so bad….
The Cubs have been known to lose. Yet, this year I think they’re making some sort of come back. Take your dad to Wrigley Field and prove history wrong by yelling at those baseball players. “PLAYAS!”

They Are Inspiring
My dad has always been an inspiration to me. Being an artist himself, my dad always encouraged me to go out and live my dream. It’s been an expensive dream, but thanks dad for that inspiration!
Take Dad To China
Well, I mean to Chinatown in Chicago. There are tons of places to shop! My dad loves Chinese food. So when he visits, we go here to eat and experience a different perspective of Chicago.
Every Sunday, a group of hikers take off to various hiking trails in and around the Chicago area. If you’re unsure about where to go, then go with a group! It’s fun and costs NOTHING! Dad will enjoy the nature experience!
Biking trails are also optional.
Take Dad Out Hiking
There is nothing like nature and your dad in one place. Conversation brews on the trails around Chicago. If you’ve got something to discuss, save it for the trails!
Go See Some Comedy
Who doesn’t like a good laugh? Get some tickets to see Second City and make a night of it! You’re both adults, go laugh at things that are funny! Buy dad a beer while you’re at it!
Where else can you see hilarious comedy in Chicago where all the actors will one day be famous? Go see a cheaper show by watching the students in the Conservatory. Just as funny and WAY cheaper!

Dad Was Young Once
I remember my dad being young, actually. He was 23 when I was born. Somehow I keep those memories in the back of my mind, so that no matter how old he gets, he will still be young at heart.
One day, we’ll be old too!

I am not loyal to any one place that serves up coffee. I like to hop around from place to place until I have found the perfect cup of coffee, or at least until my heart gives out.
I love to poke fun at people, places, and circumstance. You can be a Coffee Slut too. Let's chat over a cup...
