5 Local Father’s Day Ideas

Bowling

Let dad be the king of the pins on Sunday and take him for a game of bowling at the Commack AMF Vet Lanes. Let him show off his striking moves, and of course that winners pose.

Picnic at the Park

For the dads that like to keep it simple, pack up a lunch and head down to Sunken Meadow State Park for a picnic. Bring a camera to capture photos of family and some of the most stunning views of the Long Island Sound. Or, treat dad to a round of golf, which offers affordable rates to play on the green starting at 5:30 a.m. The driving range is also open all day. 

Steak/Barbecue Dinner

If dad loves a juicy steak, take him to The Spare Rib (2098 Jericho Tpke., Commack). The restaurant is having weekend specials that include a $28.99 Porter House Steak, a coconut shrimp and riblet dinner for $18.99 and a seafood trio with lobster, sea bass and baked clams for $23.99.

For Dads Who Love to Garden

Have a dad who loves to plant? Get on those garden gloves and head down to one of several gardening store in Commack to let dad roam free and pick out his favorite flowers and vegetables. Here are some places to garden shop: 

Acer's Home & Garden (2077 Jericho Tpke.)

Jaclyn’s Garden (6233 Jericho Tpke.)

Home Depot (5025 Jericho Tpke. or 65 Crooked Hill Rd.)

Michael's Garden Center (1099 Jericho Tpke.)

Bubba's Garden (Veterans Memorial Highway across from the Commack Post Office)

Haircut or Hot Towel Shave

Take dad for a day of pampering, or simply purchase a gift card to a local barber to treat dad to a haircut or old-fashioned hot towel shave.
