Man's Best Friend or Fiercest Competition?
When my wife comes home, the dog gets a hug, kisses, and baby talk, while I get a peck on the cheek and a no-nonsense attitude. I’m not saying she should toss on an apron and bring me a drink, but can a guy get a little love at the end of a long day?
He Said: First off, drop the dog comparison. Your wife has fewer expectations from Fido.
Food In Parks: It Can Work!
One of the happiest discoveries during my time in New York last week was the harvest market at Madison Square park, which I stumbled onto after convincing myself that a Shake Shack burger wasn't a good breakfast option (I still sort of regret talking myself out of one).

Monk's Kettle Hosts Abita Brewing
Tonight, when you're ready to get your drink on, head over to Monk's Kettle. The brewpub is hosting Louisiana's Abita Brewing Company in a benefit for the Gulf Coast. The more you drink the more you help—75 cents of every bottle sold will go towards a charitable foundation to aid people affected by the oil spill, and in addition the restaurant will donate half the day's sales of Abita to the charity. The kitchen is getting in on the act with gumbo and crawfish and andouille pot pies.
Transported: Getting Around the Mob of Giant Fans on Game Day
Welcome to "Transported", our new weekly series about getting places in San Francisco, whether you take the bus or the BART, bike or drive. Come here to find the skinny on secret parking spots, the new bike lanes and how to get across town on Muni without losing your mind.
There are ways to get to AT&T Park without being dominated by throngs of Giants fans and having to trade your firstborn child for a parking spot. Here are some tips for Wednesday's game!
Cafe Des Amis Hits Cow Hollow
With the back-to-back openings of Benu, Wayfare Tavern, and Prospect, it’s clear that the city had been waiting for the worst of this hand-wringing recession to pass before exhaling all of its spendy restaurants in one big sigh. And it appears San Francisco’s diners barely blinked before enthusiastically making a reservation.
Feisty Elle Gives Up Her 5 Fall Picks
We couldn't agree more with Leslie Yang's Fall shopping motto, "stay warm and buy local". Yang, owner of the eco-friendly SF-based jewelry line Feisty Elle, creates an artsy array of super lightweight jewels comprised of bamboo and virgin merino wool. Such a creative genius requires an awesome Fall wardrobe, so we asked Yang for the scoop on her five Fall must-haves. Ready to shop?
Required Reading: Chris Colin
We ask the city’s writers what they’re reading these days and they answer. Look for Required Reading every Tuesday.
Party Hop With The Fashion Pack: Fashion & Flights, Girls Rock Out & More
One glance at our calendar made something very clear, there's much too much happening this week to keep it all to ourselves. So strap on your walking heels and get ready for some serious fall shopping:
Trick or Treatment, Tues. from 6-8 p.m., 450 Sutter St., Ste. 800, Free w/ RSVP: Stop by Epi Center MedSpa tonight for gratis wine, hors d'oeuvres from Miette and Le Club, mini treatments and the chance to preview Christopher Collins' latest collection. RSVP required at rsvp@epicentermedspa.com.
