Marlena’s: Best Bar in Hayes Valley by Far

Every time I go to this bar, I swear there is a drag show going on. Marlena’s in Hayes Valley is where it is at. I used to always go to Place Pigalle, since it was the closest dive bar to my house, but it has recently been closed due to,

I’ve got some awesome news! We received a grant from the Civic Joy Fund to put out a literary magazine celebrating SF and acting to counter the stupid “Doom Loop” narrative. It’s a gift to the people of San Francisco. And after months of working on this project it’s now available

Broke-Ass Band Interview: K. Flay (Friday @ Popscene!)

I interview broke-ass bands on here every week. I mean real, local, this-might-be-the-only-thing-ever-written-about-them, broke-ass bands.

Flipper’s — Your New Cheap Weekday Breakfast Joint

When most people think of Flipper’s, A Gourmet Hamburger Place, I’m betting they probably think of burgers.  While it’s true that the menu at Flipper’s features almost 20 different kinds of burgers, it’s actually more like a Squat & Gobble-type restaurant offering everything from salad to crepes to falafel platters.

Awesome FREE Design Festival in Hayes Valley

At the end of a particularly hellish work week I was pleased to receive a sweet-ass event tip from one of my lovely coworkers.  The forwarded email asked ‘œWho doesn’t love a free outdoor street festival with warm sunshine, local fashion, great music, and everybody’s favorite thing: a photo booth.’

All-You-Can-Eat Wing Wednesdays at Double Decker

Once upon a time I had a friend who really loved his chicken wings.  No matter what fancy restaurant we ate at — Chili’s, Applebee’s, T.G.I. Friday’s — this guy had one goal and one goal only — to tear apart some hot wings. Then we came up to San
