New York City has a number of fun things for beer-lovers, any of which would be great to do with Dad for Father's Day:
If the Dad in your life loves trains and has young kids that will be part of his special day, the New York Transit Museum is a great place to explore, with a extensive collection of old subway cars that you can climb aboard. If Dad is into bigger machines, the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum might be a good choice -- you can visit the Concorde, walk on an aircraft carrier and see lots of planes up close. And just about anyone loves a visit to the American Museum of Natural History, whether they want to check out the Rose Space Center or see the Blue Whale.
You could either rent a bike and tour around yourself or leave the planning (& navigation!) to someone else and take dad on a bike tour. Bike The Big Apple explores off-beat neighborhoods and has great guides with lots of local insight, while Central Park Bike Tours offers some more mainstream options.
No matter what sort of performances your dad is into, New York City is certain to have something wonderful to offer him. Score discount tickets to a Broadway play, see what's happening at Carnegie Hall or Lincoln Center.
Whether your dad loves steak or classic deli sandwiches, the options for dining out with Dad on Father's Day are pretty endless. If he's a pizza lover, you might even plan your own pizza-tasting tour by hitting a few of NYC's best pizzerias and if you want to head a bit further afield with him, why not try one of these great restaurants in Brooklyn?
