Los Hermanos: Home of the Best Super Quesadilla NOT in the Mission
Hypothetical: You’re in a Wednesday night adult softball league that plays on the fields at Chestnut and Laguna in the Marina. Said team plays (and inevitably loses) game. You are angry, but mostly because you didn’t eat before you came and you’re pretty ravenous. Where do you go? If you’re
Cheap Date Night: "From Here to Eternity" at The Paramount Theatre in Oakland
A couple weeks ago I had an amazing experience — I got to go to a Sufjan Stevens show at The Paramount Theatre in Oakland. While I wish he would have played, say, at the Fox due to his new album’s funky, dance-y nature and the Fox’s spacious general admission area,

Renounce Halloween and See Some Theater Instead!
Halloween’s always been kind of an “eh” holiday for me. Maybe it’s because I live in San Francisco, where almost every weekend gives you an excuse to dress up in some ridiculous ensemble and get wasted at 10am (read: B2B, Pride Weekend, WORLD SERIES) or maybe I’m just not very
