The weekend is compatible with Lightning.
For their 90th birthday, the legendary Allen Edmonds designed an exclusive line of fall-worthy shoes—they’re priced well below their norm, and only available on Perks. Also, take 30% off football season’s best beef jerky, and pick up your VIP tickets to the Breeders’ Cup—before it’s too late.
Tonight, a few Stanford and Berkeley statisticians—as well as card-counting experts—will divulge the art and science behind games of chance. Then, along with picking up all kinds of poker tips, you’ll partake in a cocktail tour spanning five bars. We like your odds. (Well, so to speak.)
Beer, wine, water—all great from the tap. Now add Chartreuse to the list. Turns out, Grand Cafe is putting this liqueur—once made by Carthusian monks in the 1700s—on draft. You can get it with a Kronenbourg or mixed with cognac in the Grand Old Fashioned. Those monks were on to something...
Dinner and a movie: easy. Especially when dinner is a picnic basket stocked with peppers, cannoli, pizza and a bottle of red wine. Oh, and the movie’s The Graduate, showing at Dolores Park. BYO Mrs. Robinson.
Pig & Pie’s already your go-to spot for late-night sausage and pie. Now, it’s opening up for brunch. Expect Green Eggs and Ham (the menu’s a pinch Seussian), cast-iron bread pudding, and biscuits and gravy. Expect those things, because they have them.
Fancy wine. Mexican food. That’s what’s going on here. Chili verde. Carnitas tacos. Churros. Paired with pinot or riesling. If you’re thinking a date might come in handy here, you’re thinking correctly.
