Where Can Dad Learn to Make Crafted Cocktails in New York

Father's day is Sunday, June 19th and there is no reason to panic if you haven't had time to make a plan for your dad yet. You have got about two weeks to plan something and chances are between now and then lots of Dad Day activities will start populating the calendar.

Easy ways to make dad happy are to take some of the chores off his list for that weekend. Of course, if your dad was like mine chores like cutting the grass were things he enjoyed. I always found that just hanging out with my dad worked out pretty cool, but then again I was a bit of a daddy's girl.
