One weekend, extra shot, no foam.
Your Perks: 1) Waxed-canvas bags that can handle whatever you throw at them this winter. 2) A truly special bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue. It’s whiskey to be celebrated. Or sipped judiciously. 3) A fitted button-down from Jared Lang. You’ve never looked better.
Say you’re in the mood for something between bar and brewery. A new brick-and-map-lined taproom from the Archive Bar & Kitchen guys, with eight California beers and six wines on tap, plus bottled goods from all over. Also, bacon deviled eggs. And... that’s everything you’re in the mood for.
Maybe you’re one of those people who’s too busy for a massage. Probably not, because that would be ridiculous. Just in case, though, there’s a new minimalist spa in Russian Hill that does chair massages in 30 minutes. Seems like a good compromise.
If you find yourself in Oakland this weekend, the Swan’s Market building has two new spots: Deep Roots, with beer- and wine-based cocktails, and Hen House, an Italian-comfort-food joint hawking chicken crostatas and chuck roast. If you don’t find yourself there, reposition yourself.
Q: How many Peking ducks and shrimp dumplings might one want in 90
minutes?
A: TBD. Chubby Noodle is doing this thing where you can brunch on an
endless supply of dim sum, mimosas, sangria and beer.
Q: For 90 minutes?
A: For 90 minutes.
It’s that time again. Time for Unionmade’s biannual sale. And they’re giving you things like Gitman Vintage shirts, SNS Herning sweaters, Vintage Levi’s and the Hill-side pocket squares for 40% off. Good time.
