First order of business: Make sure you're in New York.

If it's a family feel you want, there's no one better thanIron Chef Marc Forgione to cook for dad. The son of culinary legend Larry Forgione, who revolutionized American-style cooking, has created a seasonally inspired menu with approachable, imaginative New American dishes at his eponymous restaurant in Tribeca. That plus an 80-bottle wine list, a dozen wines by the glass and several signature cocktails ensure a true hit. He's close to his dad too, so maybe you can celebrate together?

If it's seafood your father desires, there's no better than the menu at Le Bernardin. The name alone evokes in many New York gourmands and foodies a truly Pavlovian response: Salivation is immediate and the urge to make a reservation undeniable. Situated among the power media brokers, bankers and theater moguls in Midtown Manhattan, Le Bernardin serves the freshest seafood on the island of Manhattan thanks to the exquisite style of James Beard Award-winning executive chef and co-owner Eric Ripert, whose cuisine stands alone in a highly competitive market and is without doubt one of the country's ultimate culinary treats.
