FROM PERKS

            Happy Cashmere Season

Holidays: over. New year: happening. And since you’ve earned at least a week of deep winter hibernation,
here’s some quality cashmere and impossibly cozy French terry knitwear to snuggle up with at up to
35% off.

GANT HARDLY WAIT

            Gant Wants You to Have a New Sale to Go With Your New Year

It’s a new year. A new start. And in keeping with that theme, it only makes sense to stock up on some
handsome new gear from Gant’s end of season sale with up to 60% off the likes of Breton crew sweaters and
cashmere coats. So soft. So new.

Friday

UP YOUR ALLEE

            The Lunches Here Are Better Than a Lot of Other Lunches

We could be wrong, but it seems like your weekday lunches could use a few more thin lentil pancakes served
with vada samber or paneer spread. If that’s the case, it behooves you to hit this new Indian spot in
mid-Market called Dosa Allee. We’re probably not wrong.

SLUSHIE FUND

            Pizzas and Boozy Slushies and Things

Botellon quietly opened in the old Hecho space over the holiday, and it’s a gift you deserve, what with its
menu of ahi tuna carpaccio and five stone-hearth pizzas, plus a full cocktail list including three boozy
slushies. Better late than never.

Saturday

DOSE ENCOUNTERS

            Looks Like We'll Be Talking Weed a Lot This Year. Here's a Start...

Friday marks the first possible day of the legal sale of recreational marijuana in San Francisco. So,
provided their permitting goes through, head to the Apothecarium in the Castro on Saturday for an in-store
demo on microdosing from hmbldt. Always best to start small, right?

Sunday

DOUBLE TROUBLE

            Two New Brunches for Your Wound-Licking Consideration

Brunch. One is never enough. And so we bring you news of the new one at Sugarhill Kitchen, where you can get
things like honey bread served with a scoop of ice cream. And the other new one at Son’s Addition with
malted waffles and cinnamon-meyer-lemon donut holes. Mmm, holes.

What Else Is New

NEW YEAR, SAME YOU

            Let's Break Some Resolutions, Shall We?

Here’s a handy list of
anti-resolutions, which includes a $25,000 taco and cheese-topped tea. Also, here’s
one writer’s take on the deceptively devastating Black Mirror dating app episode, and one
other writer’s rant against calling this bad weather a “bomb cyclone.” Very important stuff, all.

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.
