Father’s Day is quickly approaching this Sunday, June 18th, and if it has snuck up on you, no need to worry. Spending the day with your Dad in Los Angeles this year is a great opportunity to take advantage of the awesome deals that some great SoCal spots offer. So try these four places perfect for spending Father’s Day in LA, and even more perfect for a college student’s budget.
1. The Standing Room – Hermosa Beach
If your Dad enjoys classic American comfort food, take him over to The Standing Room in Hermosa Beach this Sunday for some classic barbecue hits. The location recently added a smoker to their tools of the trade, and these smoked ribs pictured above are being offered all day long on Father’s Day, which they normally do not keep on the menu.
The Hermosa Beach location also offers a plethora of juicy burgers such as the Cash Burger with bacon, shishito peppers, American cheese and Korean aioli. Or try one of their many “Sammies” such as the Charlotte Sammie with Chinese style BBQ pork. Best of all, with any food order, Dad receives a FREE draft beer this Sunday, a perfect meal to enjoy under the SoCal sun.
2. Mickey’s Italian Delicatessen – Hermosa Beach
If pizza is what Dad is after this Sunday, Mickey’s Deli in Hermosa Beach is one of the four perfect places for spending Father’s Day in LA. This Italian deli is a spot that has been praised by locals since its opening in 1953. Mickey’s is known for their giant sandwiches, delicious pizza and rich pastas, aka classic Italian deli offerings.
Although the deli offers sandwiches, pastas and salads, this Father’s Day, make it over to Hermosa for the pizza. On Sunday at Mickey’s, get one large one-topping pizza and get another one FREE. Two large one-topping pizzas for the price of one? Yes, please. You can choose your topping from the list of not only conventional bacon, ham, sausage, pepperoni and olives, but anchovies, jalapeño, and capacolla (similar to prosciutto) as well. Not only make Dad feel special for the day, but you can indulge in a ton of cheesy goodness as well.
