It's Father's Day in Los Angeles. What can you do to show that special guy how much you appreciate him? Here are just a few ideas regarding restaurants and activities that you and your dad can enjoy together on Father's Day, June 19, 2011.
The Egyptian Theatre
Nothing says 'Dad' (and dude) like a good old-fashioned gangster film. Take your pops to the American Cinematheque screening of the original gangster flick to end all gangster flicks, The Untouchables--which is double-billed with action thriller Blue Thunder. The screenings start at 7:30 p.m. on Father's Day, June 19th.

The event takes place from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., and is free of charge.
Descanso Gardens
Enjoy barbecue selections by Patina Catering as you and your father relax on the Main Lawn. Food is available for purchase between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. Bring folding chairs and blankets to sit on; limited tables and chairs will be available (however no outside picnics are allowed). The price of a Descanso Gardens ticket gets you in ($8 for adults, $6 for seniors/students and $3 for children 5-12; free for kids four and under.
