FREE Zinester’s Guide to NYC Non-Denominational Cookie Swap

Baked goods are the best part of any holiday, especially cookies from the winter holidays. While all Christmas and Chanukkah cookies are delicious, it’s important to have variety. Making your grandma’s signature snickerdoodles is pretty awesome, until you’ve been eating them for every meal for three days. Instead of eating

How to Survive Your Holiday Work Party

Holiday work parties can be a total social minefield, whether you work for a giant corporation or a small creative company.  Then again, peppermint schnapps can pretty much turn any situation into a potential shitshow.  Some coworkers can mix business with booze easily, but for others, it creates a weird

Annual Running of the Santas: Santacon

Santa’s always had a reputation as a bit of a drunkard. Blame the harsh climate of the North Pole, or the VFW hall where mall’s do their Santa recruiting, but beneath those jolly layers of red velvet lives a man who just likes to have a good time. If you

FREE Drinks, Snacks and Shenanigans at the Mission Holiday Block Party

So much to do this week!  Another reason I love this time of the year — it’s super busy, but in a fun, endless-ugly-sweater-parties kind of way.  Right off the heels of last night’s Divis Art Walk comes tonight’s Mission Holiday Block Party, a FREE event that over forty local stores,

Christmas Comes Early to SF with Saturday’s SantaCon 2010!

While it’s been pretty much confirmed that San Francisco’s Indian summer is over (which makes total sense because apparently now it’s December — where did 2010 go??), on the bright side, we’re SO CLOSE to Christmas!  This also means SantaCon 2010 is almost here, that joyous day on which legions

Spinagogue Smackdown at the Contemporary Jewish Museum

At this time last year, i.e. Hanukkah time, I was living in a house with Jewish roommates and freaking the freak out for eight days straight.  This year, I’m in a teeny studio that barely fits my full-sized bed, let alone holiday decorations, namely a Christmas tree. The folks over

De-Grinch at Rockefeller Center Tree Lighting

Welcome to New York during Yule season, suckers. It’s a time of great mirth-sucking and merriment-destroying. From the Black Friday stampedes to Christmas Eve traffic, rarely does a city unify so absolutely under the banner of pissy mood. Holiday magic is in short order, despite what Macy’s would have you
