Father's Day 2017 falls on Sunday, June 18. To celebrate the man who does it all, treat him to a meal out in Philly. Dad deserves it.
While many local spots are offering specials on the holiday, don't pick a restaurant at random. Think about what dad loves most and give him a day out he'll truly enjoy.
For the dad who likes a good cocktail...
