FROM PERKS
Flannel usually invokes Paul Bunyan-y visions of chopping trees and such. But the sturdy-as-it-is-soft cotton weave can be used for so much more. That more: button-ups that you can wear to the office, the off-site and the weekend brunch. Especially these from the flannel whisperers at Casavva that we’ve got for a steal.
FEAST LIGHTNING
It’s time to don your fancy pants and get ready for Alexander’s Steakhouse’s first large format-centric feast, which promises platters of ribeye roasts, whole foie gras lobes and plenty of wine and bourbon. Yes, you might want to bring friends.
CONSULTATION RIGHTS
It’s date night and… you’re not going to wear that, are you? Apologies for being presumptuous. All we’re saying is that perhaps a few minutes with Rand + Statler’s new one-on-one style consultant service could help incorporate more A.P.C. and Band of Outsiders into your look. No pressure, though.Â
DOG DAYS
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is a Tony Award-winning smash hit that’s currently being revived by London’s National Theatre. But—and this part’s important—you can watch the unmissable stage mystery starring its original cast tonight on the big screen in your local theater. Way easier than making it to London by curtain time.
GIN UP
Once again, it’s Negroni Week in San Francisco. Which means that all kinds of restaurants are offering Negroni-forward deals, including Negroni fried chicken from Miller’s Rest and a Kolkata Negroni at Rooh with mezcal, campari, absinthe and Barolo Chinato. Liking gin and fried chicken helps.
SPARKS AND RECREATION
On Sunday, Spark Social is hosting their first Sake Sushi Sumo Showdown with sushi from local favorites, the option for bottomless sake cocktails and the choice to wear a sumo outfit and wrestle your friends. So… bottomless sake cocktails?
DEAR OLD DAD
It’s right here. And it includes a lot of meat, beer and handsome timepieces. Somewhat related: you can now buy Steve McQueen’s personal bomber jacket. Also, frozen Negronis. We thought you should know a good recipe for those.
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.
