Alternative Medicine

Instead of hitting the Geary gallery gulch for your next artsy date, make your way over to Medicine Eatstation the first Thursday of every month between 6 and 9 p.m. for the restaurant’s “First Thursday” rotating art exhibits. Sample complimentary “new Shojin” Japanese appetizers with drinks from an “art bar” that serves specially priced organic sakes, wines and beers. Now that’s a prescription that should go down easily.
