Japanese Beer and New Suits: A Weekend Story

FROM PERKS

            Backpacks That Won’t Weigh You Down

These backpacks from Keep Pursuing have a patented 4-Point Suspension weight absorbing technology that makes
carrying around all your essentials feel effortless. It’ll feel like a giant weight has been lifted from
your shoul—anyway, we’re also getting you 24% off.

CUPID IS AS CUPID DOES

            Beef Tartare and a Double Feature at Finn Town

Oh hey, look at the calendar. It says, “Time to head to Finn Town for their love-and-not-love-themed
Valentine’s Day prix fixe dinner with dishes like beef tartare and the Devil’s Heart chocolate cake while
watching The War of the Roses and Love Actually.” Or February 14. Same thing.

Thursday

MULTIPLICITY

            Réveille Does It Again, This Time With the Promise of Dinner and Wine

Réveille has another new cafe for you to start your Thursday with in Lower Haight. They’ve got their usual
coffee and sandwiches, plus, in a month or so, they’re looking to be the first Réveille to offer dinner
alongside wine and beer. Three cheers for innovation.

Saturday

SUITS YOU JUST FINE

            You Need a New Custom Suit. This Place Has New Custom Suits.

After successfully navigating the minefield that is Valentine’s Day gifting, it’ll be time to give
yourself a gift in the form of a custom suit from Chicago’s Daniel George. No, you don’t have to go
to Chicago. Yes, you do have to go to their trunk show at Le Méridian Hotel. Chicago’s still nice,
though.

FROM JAPAN WITH BEER

            About That Yuzu-Themed Japanese Beer Fest You Asked For...

On Saturday, head to Oakland for the Japan Beer Fest presented by Umami Mart and the Trappist, featuring
over 25 Japanese brews with a heavy emphasis on yuzu. Expect yuzu and beer slushies, food from Aburaya and a
live DJ. Yep, it was the DJ that sold you.

Sunday

NOODLE SYSTEM

            Noodle Girl, Meet Belcampo. Belcampo, Noodle Girl.

In case you missed it, you’ve got two more Sundays to hit Noodle Girl’s pop-up up at Belcampo Meat Co. More
specifically, two more Sundays to sup upon Vietnamese noodle dishes that incorporate Belcampo’s glorious
meats. That’s right. Sup.

What Else Is New

PRIVATE PARTS

            These Are the Most Private Islands in the Universe

Go to them. Go to them now. Oh, and here’s a gentleman’s guide to grand romantic gestures, in case you had one planned for
later tonight. Plus: if you’re planning on seeing Black Panther on Friday, but have
no idea what’s going on in the world of Black Panther, this will make for a good primer.

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.
