These guys are right there in the parenting trenches with us hardworking moms, and deserve their own time to regroup. What’s the best way to spend a dadcation in the city, though? 5 Brooklyn fathers told us what they would include in their perfect day away – here’s what they had to say: ![Courtesy Peter Luger Steakhouse](/content/images/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/peter-luger-702x476.jpg) *Courtesy [Peter Luger Steakhouse](http://peterluger.com/photo-gallery/?ref=bklyner.com)* “First of all, I would sleep in without children waking me up. Since this dadcation is being sponsored by City Kid Corner, I would need to stay at a hotel the night before to make sure no children wake me up. After a long lazy morning, I would meet friends for lunch at [Eataly](https://www.eataly.com/?ref=bklyner.com) – the place on the roof, [La Birreria](https://www.eataly.com/us%5Fen/stores/new-york/nyc-baita/?ref=bklyner.com). They have great craft beers and good food. I’d check out [Time Out](http://www.timeout.com/newyork/movies?ref=bklyner.com) to see what good films are playing, and go to the movies. I’d go to [Peter Luger](https://peterluger.com/?ref=bklyner.com) for dinner – I’ve never been, but I’ve always wanted to try their steak.” – **Brent Lagerman, Nico and Marco’s dad** ![dadcation](/content/images/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/dyker-beach-golf-course-702x458.jpg) *Courtesy [Dyker Beach Golf Course](https://www.facebook.com/dykerbeach/photos/a.10150652423897087.395005.138225702086/10150652423927087/?type=3&theater)* “Depending on the time of year, I would enjoy time at one of Brooklyn’s (or the City’s) public golf courses ([Dyker Beach](http://www.dykerbeachgc.com/?ref=bklyner.com) or [Marine Park](http://www.golfmarinepark.com/?ref=bklyner.com) in Brooklyn), time biking to and around [Brooklyn Bridge Park](http://www.brooklynbridgepark.org/?ref=bklyner.com), or playing baseball at the [Prospect Park Parade Grounds](http://www.nycgovparks.org/parks/parade-ground?ref=bklyner.com). Considering these are some of the activities that actually do fill most spring or summer weekends, maybe I am living the dream!” – **Darren Bloch, Adison and Ainsley’s dad** ![Dadcation](/content/images/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/midtown-comics-702x702.jpg) *Courtesy [Midtown Comics](https://www.facebook.com/midtowncomics/photos/pb.149522418393030.-2207520000.1454698829./1157529247592337/?type=3&theater)* “On days like that, I like going to the city and hitting my favorite comic shops and book stores – like one of the three [Midtown Comics](http://www.midtowncomics.com/?ref=bklyner.com) or [Forbidden Planet](http://www.fpnyc.com/?ref=bklyner.com). Then I would treat myself to a lunch at [Luke’s Lobster](http://lukeslobster.com/?ref=bklyner.com) or enjoy a nice lunch date with a friend at the local noodle shop [Naruto Ramen](http://narutoramenex.com/?ref=bklyner.com).” – **Rafi Rodriguez, Gideon and Marlowe’s dad** ![Dadcation](/content/images/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/records-702x531.jpg) *Courtesy [Donny Levit](/blog/art-music/permanent-records-celebrates-one-year-in-south-slope-and-we-want-them-for-keeps/)* “I’d love to do a day of record hunting and shopping all over Brooklyn. Faves include [Permanent Records](/blog/art-music/permanent-records-celebrates-one-year-in-south-slope-and-we-want-them-for-keeps/) in South Slope, [Academy Records](http://academyannex.tumblr.com/?ref=bklyner.com) in Greenpoint, [Earwax](http://www.earwaxrecords.net/?ref=bklyner.com) and [Rough Trade](http://www.roughtradenyc.com/?ref=bklyner.com) in Billyburg, and [Human Head](http://humanheadnyc.com/?ref=bklyner.com) in South Billyburg. Movie, drinks and Dinner at [Nighthawk](http://www.nitehawkcinema.com/?ref=bklyner.com). And just a simply drinking whiskey and rye with the boys! Faves are [South](http://southpubnyc.com/?ref=bklyner.com) and [Quarter Bar](https://www.facebook.com/Quarter-Bar-149982888380865/?fref=ts) in South Slope.” – **Donny Levit, Jack’s dad** ![Dadcation](/content/images/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/spa-88-702x466.jpg) *Courtesy [Spa 88](https://www.facebook.com/wallstreetbath/photos/a.179515472063603.50569.179512208730596/1014206475261161/?type=3&theater)* “Breakfast at [Dizzy’s](http://dizzys.com/?ref=bklyner.com). F train to Broadway/Lafayette and wander through the Village buying records. Go to the [Whitney](http://whitney.org/?ref=bklyner.com) and take my damn time looking at whatever I want to. Late lunch at the [Studio Cafe](http://www.untitledatthewhitney.com/page/studiocafe/?ref=bklyner.com) on the Whitney’s 8th floor. Go around the corner to the [High Line](http://www.thehighline.org/?ref=bklyner.com) and mosey all the way to the other end. Come back down the High Line to the trellis at 18th St. and read for a while. Get coffee in the [Chelsea Market](http://www.chelseamarket.com/?ref=bklyner.com) passage and text with people I miss. Wander back up and down the High Line I[nstagramming](https://www.instagram.com/realdanjanzen/?ref=bklyner.com) golden hour photos. Meet a few other dads at [Spa 88](http://www.wallstreetbath.com/?ref=bklyner.com) on Fulton for sauna/steam/beer/Russian food. Get home after the others have already gone to sleep. Watch Columbo in bed on my phone until I doze off.” – **Dan Janzen, Bobby and Lulu’s dad** **What would you do on a dream dadcation? Share your suggestions in the comments below.**
