FROM PERKS
Meet the Valentijn raincoat. We designed it exclusively in collaboration with custom clothiers Sene just for you. It’s part modern mac, part fishtail parka and entirely ready to shelter you from any lingering showers in style. And because each is custom-tailored, yours will be the only one like it.
DOUBLE TAKE
Problem: You like Alta on Market. So much so, in fact, that you wish it were open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Solution: Alta’s just-opened second location in the Minnesota Street Project that’s open for all three meals and slinging things like deviled eggs with kimchi and furikake. We like to solve your problems.
TIME AFTER TIME
Uji Time, that Berkeley ice creamery with the highly Instagrammable fish-shaped cones, has opened an SF-proper location in Japantown. They’ll be filling those cones with soft-serve flavors like matcha, black sesame and tofu, plus rotating seasonals like lavender. But, again, fish cones.
HOT TIMES
Take advantage of the long weekend and head up to Squaw Valley for some spring skiing followed by the kickoff of their weekend parties at the High Camp hot tub. There’ll be drinks, DJs and themes. This weekend’s is America, so… do whatever you think that means.
MADE IN THE SHADES
Ahlem, fine purveyor of Daniel Craig- and Beyoncé-approved sunglasses, is about to celebrate one year with a trunk show at Rand + Statler featuring their newest styles and a little gratis wine. In conclusion: sunglasses and wine.
CYCLE OF LIFE
A new bike shop called Civic Cyclery will open on Sunday with a focus on service and repairs to see to all your two-wheeled needs. Bonus: they’re kicking things off with a party to see to all your drinking-beer-in-a-bike-shop needs.
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.
