Your Perks: 1) Supersoft V-neck T-shirts in 18 different colors. So one of them is probably your favorite color. 2) Bags inspired by the Hamptons, which is coincidentally a place you could use these bags to get away to. 3) Triptych canvas prints that are made with ink that’ll last a full century.
Tomorrow is opening day for the Giants. And it’s an even year, which can only mean one thing. Yep, a whole hog roast on Divis at 4505, complete with all the Anchor Orange Splash IPA you’d expect at such a thing. Unless you’re expecting things all wrong.
Speaking of whole animals, here’s Hina Yakitori. It’s a chicken-centric skewer joint that’s having a couple of soft-opening seatings this weekend in Temescal. They’re breaking down whole birds and serving them grilled, fried, smoked, in curry and alongside eggs so you can delve into matters of a philosophical nature over dinner.

You: Oh...
Ho’s Bootleg Tavern has just decided to let you eat brunch there. Brunch that involves things like bottomless mimosas and Bloody Marias, stuffed french toast and bacon-egg-and-cheese-stuffed potato skins. Because they care.
Sunday evening can be a good time for rest and reflection. Or it can be a good time to get yourself to Speakeasy for a party with Backyard Films that includes live music, pizza, beer, movie snacks and a roster of short films from local filmmakers. Your call.
