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,
This New Literary Magazine is a Gift to the People of San Francisco
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.

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
