City Pulse

By Courtney Kretchman

Hey y’all, Father’s Day is this weekend.

In case you’ve got the plans but not the gift, here are a few outside-the-tie-box ideas.

If you wanna encourage dad to get his workout on, Equinox is opening a brand spanking new 27,000 square foot location right in the heart of the Valley—at Ventura & Balboa. The club isn’t scheduled to officially open ‘til late summer/fall but you can take advantage of some great (or at least better) rates now.

The gym will boast all the usual accoutrements of their other clubs—full spa, cardio machines, free weights galore, yoga, cycling, Pilates, juice bar (woop woop!) – and then some! Or, opt to indulge dad in a massage or facial at their Spa. Check out the Men’s Facial or the Rejuvenating Watermelon Facial – their newest signature facial to even skin tone, reduce inflammation, and revive the complexion.

Get info for the new Encino location online or at (818) 922-0799.

If Dad is a super sports fan, you’ll definitely find him something at Fanatics.com. It’s the world’s largest e-store for officially licensed sports stuff for pro teams and leagues.

It’s not just baseball caps and jerseys either. They’ve got hilariously practical gifts like branded toasters. So if your dad’s a Kings fan, he can even represent with his morning toast and coffee!

But if Dad’s a Lakers fan, maybe go with something else. He already got toasted this year. (sigh)

Just looking for some good L.A. eats? Make a Father’s Day reservation at one of these dad-faves:
Cut
Saddle Peak Lodge
Jar
Scarpetta
Lawry’s the Prime Rib
