I wrote a story this week about two gay dads who treat every day like Father’s Day. But for those of us who like to celebrate more traditionally, here are some things you might do this weekend:
• Dish restaurant at the ilume in the gayborhood, has a three-course brunch option for dads on Sunday.
• If Dad runs more to the meat-and-potatoes side of lunch, the Highland Park Cafeteria has a medium-rare prime rib or bone-in ham lunch for just $10.99 on Sunday.
• Another story this week extolls the attractions of Uptown. You can put those to work for you by buying a commemmorative trolley token for a buck, and using it at area restaurants for discounts on food for Father’s Day, including 25 percent off dinner at Breadwinners, Grimaldi’s and Uptown Bar & Grill. Visit MATA.org for details.
I’d like to see Father’s Day ideas for those of us whose fathers disinherited us and never want to see us again because of our unforgivable “lifestyle choices”. There should be a line of greeting cards!
