Father's Day Feasts

Father's Day means one thing these days:  food.  Dads around the globe take to the grill outside for an unofficial start of summer, but here are some options for Dads that won't involve a potential house fire.

Skip the kerosene tanks and take your father out for a meal he'll remember.  Here are some options:

Zero Otto Nove on W 21st knows pasta.  For a Dad who is craving carbs, this is "the real deal" according to Zagat when it comes to pasta.

Spice Market New York in the Meatpacking is actually giving out free rubs...grilling rubs, that is.  Their chef, Anthony Ricco, is an overachiever and changes up their lunch prix-fixe weekly, and when you order up one of those, you get a perfectly measured spicy grilling rub to take home.  

Andanda is serving up a menu just for Dads including Portobello Carpaccio with Taglionlini and Spanish Ham and Chicken Lollipops, for instance.  The specialized menu includes a choice of appetizer and entree, for just $18 ALL day.  I'll take that.

Cheers to Dad!
