The SCraigsListLA #bestof Father's Day Dates

-

Father’s Day has a much more chill vibe than some of the other holidays throughout the year. Backyard bbqs, 18 holes, honoring a favorite pastime and sharing a frosty mug or sipping an exclusive whiskey, there are so many enjoyable activities to plan for your favorite guy. If you haven’t already lined up something special for Dad,
here are the #bestof activities to make him feel special.

Cars and whiskey.

Calling all dads, families and car fans - you’re invited to a Beverly Hills Father’s Day tradition. For the last 25 years, some of the most coveted automobiles make their way for display at the Rodeo Drive Concours d'Elegance. This event is free and open to the public. Auto enthusiasts attend to get a close up look so they can admire automobiles like a 1927 Rolls-Royce Phantom and a McLaren 12C. Luxurious new models are also on display. The event is also open to car owners who want to showcase their luxurious models. While in the neighborhood take Dad for a single malt Scotch tasting at the exclusive L10 bar inside Montage Beverly Hills.

Clubs and swings.

Dad's golf game always needs work and a day of expert golf instruction might give him the under par win he’s always wanted. Urban Golf Performance is a mash-up of Equinox + golf, or rather one of the most comprehensive golf development centers. A swing assessment includes check-in with the concierge where you’ll hand over your clubs and preconceived golf swings and techniques. You’ll receive individual expert coaching, club fitting and the fundamentals designed to make you your best.

Burgers and beer.

This is a perfect stop to share a relaxed meal with Dad. Maybe you're coming from the beach or it's your pre-game to an afternoon of beer hopping in the South Bay (El Segundo Brewing, Smog City Brewing). Regardless, Hopdoddy Burger Bar welcomes you to its "Brew Series," where the eatery blends beer and burgers in perfect harmony. Check out the Kahuna Burger made with hefeweizen & pineapple teriyaki sauce, soy glazed pineapple, cilantro lime may and avo. Hopdoddy will help you pair it with a local brew like Golden Road's Hefenweizen. During happy hour Monday - Friday, 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., all burgers and beers are $5 each.

Shave and a haircut.

Treat Dad to a shave in the intimate atmosphere at Lloyd’s in Santa Monica. Luxurious services are accompanied by a complimentary glass of bourbon, cognac or Scotch. Dad will definitely feel pampered by any of Lloyd’s treatments offered including a hot towel shave, haircut, beard and mustache trim. Pricing for treatments begin at $35.

Dads, dinosaurs and the Discovery Cube.

An interesting and adventurous activity for Dad and his family, a visit to the Discovery Cube Los Angeles is a great treat for all ages. Now through September 3, 2018, prehistoric creatures invites visitors to experience the hands-on science museum’s Dinosaurs Around the World exhibit. You’ll learn about reptiles through animatronics, fossils and authentic casts while viewing examples of dinos such as the mighty Tyrannosaurus rex of North America and the swift Velociraptor of the Gobi Desert. Lunch or snack at the on-site eatery, Beansprouts.

This month local businesses are supporting organizations that raise awareness for life-saving research, patient advocacy as well as raise funds to provide women in need with mammograms, breast health and self-breast-exam education. Whatever color you decide to support (pink, purple , or the entire rainbow), know that it makes a huge impact.

TRUE Love

Today like any other day is the perfect opportunity to tell someone you love them. For many that may mean a significant other, a son or daughter, a friend, or a secret crush. While not often top of mind for those who don't have a caregiver in their lives, any person who relies on somebody else to drive, dress, feed, and give them daily care (or for some person you love deeply), everyday is the time to express your gratitude. My mother has the horrible disabling disease of the central nervous system - Multiple Sclerosis. She has been living with it for 30+ years. My family has seen her through many caregivers over the years including where she lives now, a full-care nursing home. I spend as much time as I can with her, but she doesn't rely on me for any of the physical care.
