No need to cook for dad this Father's Day — have other dads do the work for you. More than 50 men will prepare their favorite dishes for families to sample in this annual celebration organized by Real Men Charities, which works to promote healthy families. Staff from Lincoln University's Office of Minority Male Health will also be on hand to give blood pressure and blood sugar screenings. First District Plaza, 3801 Market St., 215-924-6263, www.realmencook.com.
Let your DD be a trolley driver as you ring in the start of summer. On this trip, the caravan leaves from Mother's Wine Bar and Restaurant and stops for touring and tasting at Crossing Vineyards, New Hope Winery and Sand Castle Winery. In the evening, the trolley will head back to the restaurant, where chef Cindy Coll will pair dishes with wines from the vineyards in a three-course dinner. Reservations required. Mother's Wine Bar and Restaurant, 34 N. Main St., New Hope, 215-862-5857, www.mothersnewhope.com.
Satisfy your fishy cravings at the newly revamped Atlantic City Seafood Festival. The previous incarnation of the event fizzled out after a 17-year run, but since it was a "great family event, we didn't want to see it go by the wayside," says organizer Tony Sbarra. The eats at the two-day fest include Dockside Catering's grilled shrimp and scallop skewers and snow-crab clusters from Atlantic City Bar & Grill. Bernie Robbins Stadium, 545 N. Albany Ave., Atlantic City, N.J., 609-561-8994, www.acseafoodfest.com.
Sorry, ladies — Orlando Bloom doesn't have his own holiday. That there's a reference to Leopold Bloom, the leading man in James Joyce's Ulysses. The Rosenbach is holding a public recitation of the Dublin-set classic, with participating readers ranging from Michael Nutter to students from the Academy of Vocal Arts. After the reading, the crowd will move over to McGillin's, where flashing your favorite Joyce book will get you a free beer. Rosenbach Museum & Library, 2008 Delancey Place, 215-732-1600, www.rosenbach.org; McGillin's Olde Ale House, 1310 Drury St., 215-735-5562, www.mcgillins.com.
If you have the nearby Chinese takeout's number memorized, it's time to sign up for this class, taught in the private kitchen of instructor Betty Kaplan's Queen Village home. Kaplan, who coordinates the demo kitchen at Foster's Gourmet Cookware in the Reading Terminal Market, will begin with knife skills, then move on to blanching snow peas and broccoli, braising chicken curry and sautéing butternut squash and tilapia. There are only five spots available, so get on it. Call 215-204-6946 or 215-204-4335 or visit www.temple.edu/tucc.
