Father’s Day is right around the corner and if you don’t know what to get your dad you came to the right place. There are some spots around New York that are going that extra mile to make sure that dads across the city will have a day to remember.

Savoury, an Indian restaurant from chef-owner Lala Sharma and located on 489 Columbus Avenue between 83rd and 84th Street, is offering a special four course brunch on June 15th from 12-4PM for just $38 per person. In addition to this, dads will receive a complimentary glass of wine. While each patron is served a House Salad and fresh Papadum they have a variety of dishes to choose from; from Baby Lamp Chops to Chicken Pakora for their first course, Chicken Tikka Makhani or Dalcha Machchi for their main course and for those that have a sweet tooth they have a choice between Indian Kulfi or Gulab Jamun.

Empire Steak House, located on 237 West 54th street, also wants to make dads feel special by giving out complimentary cigars. Their prix fixe menu is $69.95 not including tax and gratuity. For appetizers there is a choice of Fried Calamari, Baked Clams, and Caesar Salad. Their Entrée selections include Prime Sirloin Steak, Prime Rib Eye, Filet Mignon, Lamb Chops, with many more choices. Desert includes a selection of Tiramisu, Carrot Cake, Cheesecake or Chocolate Mousse Cake with Coffee or Tea.

Moving further downtown we have Jacques 1534, located on 20 Prince Street, which is also celebrating Father’s Day with specials that include Tomato Gazpacho, Beet & Goat Cheese Napolean served with Dijon Vinaigrette, Classic Soft Shell Crabs or Pan Seared Branzino.

If you still have room for more you can cross the Bowery and go over to Sons of Essex located on 133 Essex Street, where they are having The Father’s Day Beefsteak. The gifts continue there because all patrons will receive a custom branded apron that they can take home with them. Along with this, there will be a lot of steak, whiskey, beer and a live brass band that will be playing throughout the day. Tickets are available by emailing reservations@sonsofessex.com.

Louro is hosting a BYO kind of Father’s Day. The menu, inspired by the region of Rioja, includes Crispy Pig’s Ear’s Salad with kale, charred scallion and romesco and Pollock and Squid with garbanzo and smoked tomato broth. This is an 8-course tasting menu that is $95 and you can bring your own wine. Patrons that are not interested in this can also choose from Louro’s a la carte menu, but beware, this option is not BYO.

If you’re up for a trip, Benjamin Steakhouse in Westchester is letting patrons also choose between the prix fixe menu and the normal lunch and dinner menus. The cost for the prix fixe menu is $54.95 not including tax and gratuity and customers will also receive a courtesy gift from Benjamin Steakhouse Westchester. Located at 610 West Hartsdale Road in White Plains, NY, this restaurant boasts a wide selection of dishes from Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail and the classic New York Strip Sirloin Steak to Filet of Chilean Sea Bass and Lobster Bisque.

Now we are moving on to something that does not only involve food, but also sailing! Manhattan by Sail is offering a variety of sails for Father’s Day. You and dad will sail along the Hudson River on a luxury schooner vessel eating lobster and sipping wine. You can choose from The Shearwater Classic Schooner, which includes Champagne Brunch at 11AM, Wine Tasting at 4:30PM or the Whiskey Tasting Sail, which is a gift certificate; Or you can go a different route and choose The Clipper City Tall Ship which includes Craft Beer Tasting at 12PM or the Lobster & Beer gift certificate which has unlimited beer! That’s a guaranteed way to make dad smile.

So even though you may have already bought your dad a gift, why not take him to one of these locations and take advantage of the specials they have for Father’s Day.
