Father’s Day Shopping & Dining Guide

May 31, 2020


Father’s Day is June 21. Celebrate the dads in your life with gifts from your favorite Tenleytown businesses. Whether your dad is a weekend warrior, outdoor adventurer, or a music lover, local shops have just what he wants. Here’s our Father’s Day shopping guide featuring businesses open during Phase 1. Plan to call ahead or order online for pick-up and delivery.


 

For sport and fitness enthusiasts …

Now that DC has entered Phase 1 of the city’s reopening, tennis courts are open, too. Tennis Zone Plus offers everything dad needs to get his tennis game back in shape, including rackets, shoes, balls, and bags.

City Bikes has the cyclist in your life covered with bikes, accessories, clothing, and more. And you can even find gifts for scuba divers at the National Diving Center.

A class pass or gift certificate to a local gym also makes a great gift – buy now to take advantage of live streaming classes or enjoy later when Phase 2 of the District’s reopening begins.

For the weekend warrior …

From tools to electrical and plumbing supplies to hardware, Tenleytown Ace Hardware has everything for the do-it-yourselfer. The friendly staff can help you pick out the right equipment whether your dad is a novice or experienced weekend warrior. If your father prefers grilling out to fixing things up, Ace has you covered there, too. Shop their selection of grills and grill accessories.


 

For the music lover …

We know your dad rocks, but if he also likes to rock, Middle C Music has a great selection of music-themed gifts, musical accessories, instruments, sheet music, books, recordings, and more. And if you aren’t a music expert yourself, their knowledgeable staff can guide you to the right gift.


 

For the sentimental …

Tenleytown’s art framing establishments can preserve your treasured photographs and special mementos. Whether it’s a picture of you and your father, kids’ artwork, or a reminder of trip you took as a family, a custom-framed piece makes a heartwarming gift.


Balloon Installations

Balloon Zoom creates gorgeous balloon sculptures, bouquets, and bespoke balloons. For Fathers’s Day – or any day – order one of their yard balloon installations for only $50 just for Tenleytown residents. These no-contact balloons are a safe way to send love to dad, and Balloon Zoom will even arrange to pick up the balloons and supports when he’s done enjoying them. As always, there is no charge for delivery in Tenleytown.
