The weekend doesn't pay attention to polls.
Chances are, you’re traveling soon. Also: taking papers to work. And, we’ll assume, occasionally carrying cash. To help, Perks is introducing the UrbanDaddy Dozen, a carefully curated selection of rugged briefcases, luggage and wallets from SF’s Mulholland, handpicked by UD’s editors and available for 40% off. Pleased to meet you...
Beer, mini burgers, tacos: all fine. But sometimes your happy hour could use something a little more out of the box. A little more Halloween-y, even. Like brains. Each day, Bar Pilar is serving up a rotating cast of offal—stuff like sautéed liver, pate, head cheese and pigs' ears—for four bucks. Note: vegan brains not yet available.
We know you've got important business in Penn Quarter. (Post-game steaks with Ovie. Again.) But first: this series of pics shot when Elvis was 21, at the top of his hip-shaking game, before Vegas (and the Army) got their claws into him. The Portrait Gallery has always been short on greased-up pompadours.
A whole roast pig, served up as Carolina-style sandwiches: so far, so good. Now add bushels of oysters, fried up, stewed up and served with all the microbrews and wines that your afternoon can handle: somehow, even better. Feel free to try your pork on the half shell.
And now, some new arrows in your anti-hangover arsenal: fried eggs with chorizo hash and Spanish-style French toast with walnut butter. And if that doesn't work: Spanish mimosas with brandy and thyme along with the ever-popular scotch slushies. Which should tide you over until your Sunday siesta.
You like to keep one eye on the Capitol these days—especially if you can do it from a rooftop, while sampling Cotton Candy Eel and Chocolate Soup from 16 different chefs. Here, you'll also find loads of beer, wine and cocktails on hand—always helpful while contemplating Congress.
