There’s no crying in weekend.
Your Perks: 1) Tom Ford sunglasses at half off. What? How? Don’t you worry your pretty little head. 2) A flying palm-size HD-camera drone. Huge for your Vine game. 3) A vintage Rolex. A vintage Omega Seamaster 120. A vintage Cartier watch. A vintage... well, you get the idea.
Every so often, the people at Chronicle Books say “F**k it,” and this epic warehouse
sale becomes a thing: all books are 65% to 80% off.
Also, this literary salon just opened, with a bookstore, a café, performance space for
things like comedy and open-mic night... and beer and wine to facilitate the open mic-ing.
We went ahead and did the math for you. Equator coffee + breakfast burrito + views of the Golden Gate Bridge + all from the person behind the Commissary and Arguello = good morning.
Somewhere in Tokyo, there’s a store where Kanna the Robot makes eyeglasses. 1,200 frame options. Thirty minutes and you’re out. There’s a drive-through window, too. “Of course there is,” you think. There’s also their first US store, opening Friday on Powell Street. “Neat,” you think.
Chef Jiro Lin is doing a guest stint at Saison, and... it’s kind of a big deal. Firefly squid from Toyama Bay, sea urchin and only eight seats at his counter. This could get out of hand, but in a pretty subdued way since you’re sitting at his counter.
On Monday, it only makes sense to take a pass on work for jerk-spiced wings with pineapple gastrique. Also on James Syhabout’s tailgating menu: smoked beef tri-tips. Po’boys. Oysters. Oh, and there’s some baseball going on across the street.
