FROM PERKS

            60% Off Holiday Party-Worthy Italian Blazers

When it comes to blazers: always trust the Italians. Especially the good people at Gemelli, who fashion
their blazers from the finest virgin wool and include elegant details like subtle gold thread windowpanes
and paisley silk linings. When it comes to getting you 60% off of those blazers: always trust Perks.

Thursday

MARKET DAYS

            The Owner of Tony's Pizza Just Opened a Fancy Italian Market in North Beach

Be your family’s hero by picking up some goods from the new Giovanni Italian Specialties market before
heading over for the holiday festivities. Every day, they’re cranking out fresh pasta and focaccia and a
bunch of other high-end, imported, Italian deliciousness. Being your own hero also counts.

Friday

BAR METHOD

            Little Holiday Shopping. Little Bolognese and Wine.

Should you find yourself holiday shopping downtown and needing a respite (which you will be), stop into Bar
Struzzo. It’s a new Italian restaurant in the Villa Florence Hotel for tagliatelle bolognese or burgers with
a glass of wine. You will need wine.

Saturday

WAKE AND BAKE

            Some of the City's Finest Pastry Chefs + Bake Sale = This

What do you get when you put 11 of the city’s best pastry chefs from the likes of Zuni and Craftsmen &
Wolves together to work on a bake sale for charity? A lot of glorious pastries that you’ll be taking home
with you, that’s what.

GO EAST

            A Holiday-Sale Block Party in the Dogpatch With Gratis Mimosas

Head to the Dogpatch on Saturday for a holiday sale with over 20 participating vendors. You’ll get gratis
mimosas or Bloodys with your meal at the Ramp, you’ll have access to 11 pop-ups at Smokestack and you’ll get
up to 90% off framed mirrors at Oberon Design. You’ll also get to be done holiday shopping.

Sunday

‘TOGA PARTY

            Mimosa Donuts at the Saratoga. Again, Mimosa Donuts.

Your favorite classy, two-level restaurant in the TL (the Saratoga, of course) is launching their brunch on
Sunday. Which means three different types of Bloodys, Billionaire’s Bacon and “Mimosa Donuts” with blood
orange and champagne glaze. Also, regular mimosas.

What Else Is New

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.
