$5 Gets you Meat, Cheese and Wine at Whole Foods

Whole Foods in Potrero Hill is at it again. Remember that Beer Week event with the cheap microbrew and the food tastings?  Well they’re doing something similar tonight from 5-7pm. $5 gets you Australian wines paired with meats and cheeses plus you’re actually doing a mitzvah because the money is

FREE Food at Taylor's Automatic Refresher – UPDATE!

If you’re not familiar with it, Taylor’s Automatic Refresher in the Ferry Building is kind of like a gourmet In-N-Out Burger (wait, In-N-Out isn’t gourmet?) It’s delicious, I’m sure, but due to that fancy location the menu tends to be out of the Broke-Ass price range. Well, this Thursday the

FREE Champagne and Cake at Good Vibrations Thursday Night

I have a strong premonition that you’ll be feeling the effects of St. Patrick’s Day Shitshow 2010 on Thursday morning while you’re getting ready for work, avoiding your ghastly reflection in the mirror at all costs and wondering what you should be more ashamed of:  the dangerously irresponsible amount of
