Do not go gentle into that good weekend.
Your Perks: 1) Blazers, button-ups, ties and other things you’ll use to keep you handsomely warm in winter. 2) A bottle of Krug Grande Cuvée and a couple glasses. Can’t have one without the other. 3) If these watches make you jealous, that’s completely natural.
San Diego. Good town. They do some things quite well there. Namely: Mexican food. Get lots of it at Chicáno Nuevo, a new spot in Bernal Heights with edible things like chorizo-topped queso, tamales, burgers and tacos. It’s okay that we snuck burgers in there.
A lot of things happened in 1972. Take, for example, David Bowie’s release of Ziggy Stardust. That’s something that happened. And the whole album is being performed live this Friday at the Chapel by a merry band of Bowie obsessives. Burlesque will also be involved. Which is not weird.
Golf pants. Fine, we’ll go on. You may now procure actually nice and actually handsome pairs of those, along with equally nice and handsome golf shirts, thanks to State Apparel. It’s a new webshop. With golf things to wear. That’s why we started this thing by saying “golf pants.”
Here’s a new reason to go to Oakland: Penrose. Because suddenly, that’s your new go-to for North African and Mediterranean brunch that involves things like egg-topped spiced lamb, hummus flatbread, shakshuka and merguez. You win again, Oakland.
We say: David Kinch’s Manresa.
You say: All of the Michelin stars.
We say: David Kinch’s new restaurant, the Bywater, a casual New Orleans–style joint
with things like po’boys and hurricanes right down the street from Manresa, opens Tuesday.
You say: Sounds great, but did we need to do all of this?
