Parking Quiz: What's the Average A Giants Fan Will Spend On Parking During A Game?
It's no secret that parking in the city is a bitch. So we've enlisted local parking guru and author of Finding the Sweet Spot, David La Bua, to dish out weekly tips on navigating the ins and outs of city parking.
In honor of the Giants kicking all sorts of butt last night (and hopefully again tonight!), David La Bua has a special Giants-themed parking quiz that could score you some FREE parking around AT&T Park. Take the test now--we'll post the answer in a few hours!
How much should you expect to spend on parking if you are going to see the SF Giants?

The 10 Best Lunches Under $10 in Union Square
I've been working in Union Square now going on 10 years which has gained me some keen insight into eating on the cheap around these parts. Not known for its culinary prowess, this part of town still has some good eats—you just have to pick and choose, even within each restaurant.
1. For blustery days, my new favorite go-to soup is the organic chicken pho at Urban Picnic (a spot that I'd written off until I tried the pho). It's not quite Turtle Tower, but the the slices of chicken are tender, the broth is bold. (Not to mention there are plenty of brain-numbing, US Weekly-type magazines to read while you slurp.)
Partner Spotlight: Eat, Drink and be Local—The TRU Story
7x7 Partner Spotlight
When the Trumer Brauerei Berkeley opened its doors in 2004, we worked hard to perfectly preserve the brewing process of our 400-year-old sister brewery in Salzburg, Austria.
We've successfully combined the heritage and tradition of our European roots with the excellence and passion of American craft brewing. So now you can enjoy a TRU European Pilsner imported fresh from Berkeley.
Brewed in your own backyard for your next backyard BBQ.
Well-balanced with a distinct hoppiness and crisp dry finish, Trumer Pils is a perfect pairing for a summer BBQ, dinner party or Sunday afternoon at the park. Pick up a 6-pack today and bring a local home.
A Guide to Open Studios
October in San Francisco features the sundress weather we never got in July, a subsequently confusing profusion of pumpkins, and local artists opening their studios to the public in every neighborhood we have, including some you might not know existed. (Mount Davidson, anyone?) There’s so much excellent art to see in so many neighborhoods that not even the most savvy googling can unearth everything - so we recommend you go where the whim strikes you to see local art at its origin. Here are the artists and neighborhoods that strike us.
Potrero Hill
Liquor.com: The Country's Best Spots to Mix Football & Cocktails
Baseball aside, football season is just getting into full swing. For fans, it's important to know where the best bar stools and high-definition TVs are. Liquor.com has highlighted the Mission's very own Elixir as the place to park for those football games you just can't miss, along with a few other spots around the country that serve up football and cocktails in style.
First Bite: A Tale of Three Sandwiches
This week, a good proportion on my meals have been between two slices of bread. The sandwich is a satisfying creation, equally suited to breakfast, lunch and dinner and co-opted by nearly every culture in the world.
Brother Size at the Magic
Octavio Solis could be called the Midas of local theater - anything he touches turns to gold. It could in turn be argued that Tarell Alvin McCraney, the gifted playwright behind Brothers Size, doesn’t need any help. But judging from audience and critical response (across the board raves) - it certainly doesn’t hurt.
Look of the Week: Art Walk
You've always dreamed of traveling the world with friends, picking up artwork along the way. Unfortunately, paying rent, eating and your job have stood in the way.
Well, it's time to get a taste of la dolce vita during the SF Art Commission's Passport.
Hamlet on Alcatraz
For the ultimate in theater/venue mashups, you can’t do better than Hamlet on Alcatraz. After nearly two years spent juggling logistics (and dodging pesky birds), 29-year-old director Ava Roy is using the entirety of the infamous prison island to create a memorable rendition of Shakespeare’s tormented Dane.
