The Weekender

The Weekend Starts Here

The weekend is taking three, thanks.

Thursday
Spruce Debuts the Spruce Goose
THURSDAY PREVIEW

Spruce Debuts the Spruce Goose

You won't see it on the menu until next week, but you can start ordering the Spruce Goose now. It's a hefty cocktail that combines Clear Creek Douglas fir eaux di vie (aka, brandy) and maple syrup, so you can take it with either a burger or pancakes.

411: The Spruce Goose, Spruce, 3640 Sacramento St (at Spruce), 415-931-5100

Friday
Taste of Lexus Weekend
FRIDAY TEST DRIVE

Taste of Lexus Weekend

While this Lexus event is designed to showcase the Lexus lifestyle, we're all about the test drive. First you'll whip a sporty IS or GS around a closed course, then you'll hit the streets in a fully loaded LS. Bring the sales guy along if you feel like it.

411: Aug 29-31, register here using code SC1373063V, San Mateo County Event Center, 2495 S. Delaware St (at Concar), San Mateo, 877-694-5275

Friday
Foreign Cinema's Slow Food Dinner
FRIDAY FILM

Foreign Cinema's Slow Food Dinner

To celebrate Slow Food Nation, Foreign Cinema goes al fresco with a local/organic dinner of bavette steak, oysters and wine from Stubbs Vineyard. The evening's entertainment: a documentary on family farming. And you, obviously.

411: $100 (includes four courses and wine), Aug 29, 5:30pm reception/screening, dinner by reservation, Foreign Cinema, 2534 Mission St (at 21st), 415-648-7600

Saturday
Citizen:Citizen Pop-Up Store
SATURDAY GALLERY

Citizen:Citizen Pop-Up Store

Citizen:Citizen's traveling mini-market exhibit ends this weekend, so this is your last chance to buy exclusive House of Holland T-shirts and Benjamin Eyewear shades. Because art shouldn't just hang on walls—it should also hang on you.
411: Thru Aug 30, Silverman Gallery and Look Boutique, 804 Sutter St (at Jones), 415-255-9508

Ron Stoner Photographs
Check out this epic-ly curated collection from the archives of surf photographer Ron Stoner. Lest you think it's all pipelines and waves, we assure you the bikini is well-represented.

Monday
Slow Club Opens for Labor Day Brunch
MONDAY BRUNCH

Slow Club Opens for Labor Day Brunch

This three-day weekend means one more chance to catch Slow Club's bourbon-tastic brunch menu. Wash down your Bourbon French Toast with the bourbon/maple syrup Sunday Smash. Then maybe take a nap. You've earned it.

411: 10am-2:30pm, Aug 30-Sept 1, Slow Club, 2501 Mariposa St (at Hampshire), 415-241-9390
