Sneak a Peek at Today's Gilt City San Francisco Deals
Who doesn't want a deal? Even better—heads up on a deal that hasn't gone live yet. Last Tuesday Gilt City San Francisco joined the ranks of Groupon, Living Social, Fresh Guide, Bergine, and more, giving members unique access to deals at top Bay Area destinations including restaurants, spas, entertainment venues, museums, and shops. Weekly Gilt City San Francisco sales go online every Tuesday at 12 p.m. PST, but we got the skinny on what to expect today. Here's your sneak peek of what's to come.
The Morimoto Touch: The Knife-Wielding Iron Chef Turns Napa on Its Head
From the envelope-pushing vegetarian Ubuntu to Neela’s, the Indian restaurant opened by Neela Paniz, the town of Napa is bound and determined to become a dining destination like Yountville. But unlike its popular sibling, Napa is bucking wine country’s typical Eurocentric point of view—most impactfully by the opening of the trendy Japanese-influenced Morimoto Napa. Although Food Network celeb chef Masaharu Morimoto has five other restaurants to attend to, you might spot the 55-year-old at this insta-scene attending to the kitchen in a chef’s coat, homeboy-style shorts, and white sneakers. Surrounded by diners downing sake and pricey sushi, you could easily be somewhere far away, like Honolulu—which is exactly where his next restaurant is headed this fall.
Olive Kitteridge at Word for Word
Whenever people ask for theater recommendations, I always point them toward Word for Word. If you’re not a literary buff, it’s excellent theater. If you were an English major or consistently check out eight books at a time from the public library, you’ll be blasted into geek heaven. Word for Word brings literature to life, complete with all the he-saids, she-saids of the original.
This Week's Hottest Events: Free Art, Free Opera, and Oktoberfest by the Bay
On Tap: Oktoberfest by the Bay
Take part in the 11th annual Oktoberfest by the Bay, a festival of fine German food, the world's best beer, and authentic German music that will stick in your head through next year's celebration of our favorite European culture. As if you needed an excuse for weekend day drinking … $25-$30; Thursday, 9/23 - Sunday, 9/26; Pier 48, across from AT&T Park, oktoberfestbythebay.com
¡Viva Muralismo! Gala & Art Auction This Saturday to Benefit Precita Eyes
Precita Eyes, aside from adorning city buildings with gorgeous, eye-popping murals, is one of the most precious assets we have in preserving the Mission's dynamic cultural heritage, so celebrate their 2010 Muralists Gala Benefit and Art Auction, called ¡Viva Muralismo! this Saturday, September 25 at SOMArts Cultural Center. Schmooze with artists and politicians (Nancy Pelosi! Mark Leno!) while dancing to DJ Special K's beats and sipping on champagne, and bid on original artwork by the night's featured creative minds.
Win Tickets to LUNAFEST
If you're a girl and you're reading this, I bet you have a Luna Bar in your desk drawer. They are truly a snacktime savior.
Happy Cocktail Week! Signature Drink Recipes from Cantina, Elixir and Comstock Saloon
Tomorrow marks the start of San Francisco Cocktail Week, a week-long celebration of all things cocktail (including SF's stellar roster of bartenders). In honor of the week, Liquor.com has rounded up signature drink recipes from some of the city's best, including Duggan McDonnell (Cantina), H. Joseph Ehrmann (Elixir) and Jeff Hollinger & Jonny Raglin (Comstock Saloon).
Go Green or Bust: SF's Vegan Fashion Show
SF is the epicenter for all things green, so it was only due time before a vegan fashion show would sprout up. Sounds quirky, but don't expect to see potato sack frocks and hemp pants strutting down the runway.
Dead Whale at Ocean Beach
Sad day. A dead whale washed up this morning (full of shark bites) to Ocean Beach between Lawton and Kirkham streets. Photos by citystoke at stokereport.
