The weekend is going to enjoy this one.
This week, Perks brings you a chance at a batting practice session at Yankee Stadium with some guys named Darryl Strawberry, Doc Gooden, Wade Boggs and Bucky Dent. Go ahead, call your shot.
You've still got time to order Dad a new twist on an old Father's Day classic—it's a watch, but it's made out of chocolate. (Note: it doesn't tell time.) If you'd rather go the more traditional route, don't worry, they've got chocolate ties too.

FOREVER COOL Five Decades of McQueen at the Egyptian Theatre LA loves an antihero. As long as he's also a celebrity. Watch Steve McQueen master his craft in this retrospective commemorating the 50th anniversary of The Magnificent Seven. Continuing the clinic on cool will be screenings of Papillon, The Sand Pebbles and Junior Bonner. And a Father's Day presentation of The Great Escape. Just don't forget Dad. |

Starting this Sunday, the stools and communal tables in Culina's bar area are where you want to be for the new Italian-style happy hour. That means $6 wines and a relentless spread of gratis plates like Burrata-Filled Heirloom Tomatoes and Prosciutto with Melon. The Italians know how to do it.
If your dad's in town for the holiday in his honor (or even if he's not), head to Hollywood's most masculine new restaurant for an old-fashioned barbecue. Think Pork Baby Back Ribs and Peach Cobbler amid rust-covered concrete walls. And bring the chocolate watch.
