REAL DADS
ON FATHER’S DAY
Dad’s a complex guy. Sure, he loves it when you make an effort on Father’s Day, but what he’s not telling you is that he really doesn’t need — or want — another tie. So we decided to get the real deal. We stopped some fathers at The Shops at Columbus Circle and got them to confess what they really want this Father’s Day.
