FATHER’S DAY DELIGHTS: Make your dad feel like a king this Father’s Day at one these Town of Huntington restaurants. In Huntington Station, Del Frisco’s Grille (160 Walt Whitman Road) will be offering an 18-ounce, 28-day Bone-In Dry-Aged Strip Steak for $52 that pairs great with a hand-crafted Gentleman’s Mule ($11) made with Basil Hayden’s Aged Bourbon. If dad’s into cars and can wait a week, bring him by Blackstone (10 Pinelawn Road) next Thursday, June 22, 6 p.m. for the steakhouse’s annual Exotic Car Show. If you want dinner after the show, make a reservation by calling 631-271-7780, or enjoy drink specials and a DJ all night. If dad prefers boats, perhaps a view of Huntington Harbor is more his thing. If so, Prime (117 New York Ave., Huntington) has you covered with a Sunday Jazz Brunch 11 a.m.-3 p.m., or Calypso Sundays with live reggae from 4 p.m. to sunset. Prime also has a special Father’s Day gift card offer; through June 18 order a gift card online to get a second complimentary gift card with a balance 20-percent of your initial purchase (Promo code: fathers).

COMING SOON: Burger bar Burgerology is eying the former location of S.T.A.G.S. Tap House for its second location. Burgerology, which already has a location in Rockville Centre, is hoping to move into the 308 Main St. come July. S.T.A.G.S. – which closed late last month after debuting in 2016 – wasn’t the first eatery to have troubles in the store. The space was also home to Ideal’s Element, which closed in 2015 a few months after a revamp. Keep up with the Foodies for more info on Burgerology.

BARBECUE, BEER, HOEDOWN: The sixth annual Huntington Hoedown, a fundraiser that’s packed full of barbecue, beer and dancing, is set for Saturday, June 24, 6-9 p.m. at the Huntington Fire Department (1 Leverich Place). The ages 21+ event is hosted each year by the department’s Protection Hose Co. and this year will feature Whiskey Road and LI Classic Country Entertainment. As always there will also be unlimited barbecue and beer/wine included in the ticket price ($40 at the door; $35 in advance). There will also be plenty of raffles courtesy of local merchants, and a 50-50. So grab your cowboy boots and hat, and head to Huntingtonhoedown.com for tickets.
