FROM PERKS
Long weekends. Beach weekends. Vampire weekends. No two weekends are ever the same. But you can rest assured your weekender bag can be—as long as you’ve got one of these stylish ones designed for the modern adventurer from Keep Pursuing. They’re so great you can even use them during the week.
WONDER TWINS
If you prefer your coffee made by identical twin sisters who also make and sell their own gluten-free granola, then just… wow. But also, you’re in luck, because the just-opened Native Twins Coffee involves exactly that.
QUITE THE PAIR
What you have here is very date-friendly wine and savory macaron pairing. Yes, savory macarons. As in saffron and caramelized pistachio ones. Yes, wine. As in Kabinett Riesling and four others. You probably already wrapped your head around the wine part.
CHOW, BELLA
For all your brunching-in-Oakland needs, Chow has opened their giant new Oakland location that includes a restaurant, full organic market, bakery and outdoor seating. Yes, there will still be Bloody Marys.
LOKMA, NO HANDS
Let’s just keep this brunch train rolling with the Richmond’s newest spot for just such a thing. It’s called Lokma and it’ll be offering your usuals like avocado toasts alongside your not-so-usuals like Turkish egg scrambles. Unless Turkish egg scrambles are your usuals.
STRANGER THINGS
Celebrate Welcome Stranger’s return to their renovated store by taking advantage of their sale and, more importantly, to insert more Saturdays hoodies and/or Life After Denim button-downs into your life. No offense to triumphant returns or anything.
Joe Starkey is the tallest person in the room 90% of the time. He enjoys liquors that aren’t smoky, dive bars that are, and has a vague dread that someone, somewhere might be having more fun than him.
