  PERKSBrand-New Perks
This week, Perks brings you a chance at a batting practice session at Yankee Stadium with some guys named
Darryl Strawberry, Doc Gooden, Wade Boggs and Bucky Dent. Go ahead, call your shot.
 CHOC-WORKChocolate Watches for Father's Day
You've still got time to order Dad a new twist on an old Father's Day classic—it's a watch, but it's made
out of chocolate. (Note: it doesn't tell time.) If you'd rather go the more traditional route, don't worry,
they've got chocolate ties too.
 3AM CHINESEChin Chin Goes Late Night
A Sunset Plaza Chinese institution has heard the call for late-night dim sum, and has responded graciously
in kind. Starting tonight, Chin Chin will be open until 3am Thursdays through Saturdays to soak up all the
liquids you just downed on the Strip. Yes, they have enough dumplings.
  ROAD RULESIntroducing the Rental Car Rally
So you don't technically have to rent a car for this. But when you're about to embark on a totally insane
36-hour race through ghost towns and miniature pyramids (preferably while in costume, and definitely gunning
for the cash prize), leaving your own car at home might be best.
  FINE WININGHappy Hour, Italian-Style, at Culina
Starting this Sunday, the stools and communal tables in Culina's bar area are where you want to be for the
new Italian-style happy hour. That means $6 wines and a relentless spread of gratis plates like
Burrata-Filled Heirloom Tomatoes and Prosciutto with Melon. The Italians know how to do
it.
 CHEERS, DADFather's Day at District
If your dad's in town for the holiday in his honor (or even if he's not), head to Hollywood's most masculine
new restaurant for an old-fashioned barbecue. Think Pork Baby Back Ribs and Peach Cobbler
amid rust-covered concrete walls. And bring the chocolate watch.
