FROM PERKS
Winter means layers—the most important of which are your blazers and button-ups. And these ones were literally made for each other by the sartorial gurus at Maceoo. Their name roughly translates to “gift from the gods,” by the way. And this Perk roughly translates to “60-61% off all of the above.”
MONK-Y BUSINESS
Monk’s Kettle is about to turn 10, and they’re celebrating with 10 consecutive days of events. Today, they’ll have the founder of Moonlight Brewing in for a meet and greet and to pour some of his lesser-known beers. And tomorrow, they’ll be pouring vintage strong ales. Followed by eight other things. Math.
TINY BUBBLES
December means that you’ll have family in town who will want a slightly touristy place with a view of the Bay. December also means that Epic Steak is offering half-off bottles and glasses of champagne on Wednesdays. You’re acing family time.
HEALTHY SELECTION
High-end local beer and liquor shop Healthy Spirits has just opened their third outpost, this time on Valencia. They’ve got an extensive mezcal and tequila selection, plus their usual great bourbon and beer offerings, and now you don’t even need to leave the Mission for them. Not to be presumptuous or anything.
IT TAKES TWO
This weekend, you have not one, but two new brunches to choose from: will you go to Indian Paradox for Mumbai Disco Fry Eggs and wine pairings, or Old Devil Moon for fried chicken sliders and the Devil’s Daiquiri? Both. You’ll go to both.
PIER PRESSURE
Pier 70, the event space for huge Burning Man-esque parties like LoveBoat, is about to be transformed into a massive housing development. But not before one last art- and music-filled bash on Saturday night. Anyway, you’re going to that.
NO MOORE
The GOP senate candidate/creepy mall rat may’ve lost yesterday, but his horse, Sassy, won. In other news: we present you with luxury watches made with recycled parts from old Ford Mustangs, as well as a case against some of the backlash towards the viral New Yorker short story, “Cat Person.” Enjoy.
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.
