Where the weekend lays its head is home.
Your Perks: 1) A wearable, waterproof HD camera with an LCD screen. This thing loves the beach. Or shower. 2) Soft cotton button-ups that are good for almost any occasion. 3) High-tops and low-tops for guys with good taste. And feet.
Beer shuttle. Has a nice ring to it, right? Well, that exists now. It’s where you board a gratis shuttle that’ll make stops at places like Black Sands Brewery, Barrel Head and Sunset Reservoir. Oh, and this will happen every month in various beer-filled neighborhoods. Fingers crossed for a gin shuttle.
Ah, St. Patrick’s Day. A time to celebrate the luck of the Iri... actually, you should probably just get out of town. Tahoe sounds about right. First, take in some of that fresh powder. Then, go to PlumpJack Café’s little fondue-centric après situation. Go because it exists. Also because there’s fondue.

Some Genius: Great. We’re doing exactly that at Romper Room this weekend.
You: Genius.
The only downside of wine country is that it’s so far away. Okay, not really, but a little tough to swing on a weeknight. Enter Napa’s own Harvest Table, which will be showing off their new cocktail program at Burritt Room on Monday. Next up: conquering the space-time continuum.
