You Say You Want a Resolution
Introducing Your Anti-Resolutions

It happens every year around this time. Resolutions. In anticipation of getting a fresh start in the New Year, we've put together a bucket list of things to do before you kick this year to the curb. Presenting the anti-resolutions…

UD - The Two-Pound Steak at Spruce

GAIN SOME TO LOSE SOME

The Two-Pound Steak at Spruce

Followers of Atkins might consider a two-pound, bone-in rib eye diet food (as long as you skip the duck-fat fries), so getting this off-the-menu gem meant for two at Spruce isn't wrong per se. Unless you get it for one…
411:
Spruce, 3640 Sacramento St, 415-931-5100

FALLING ON THE WAGON

Smuggler's Cove Rumbustion Society

While it's technically a drinking club, we'd like to think of the Rumbustion Society more as an exclusive group of individuals in the pursuit of deeper knowledge. And if that means seeking wisdom at the bottom of a rum glass (or 200), so be it.
411:
Smuggler's Cove, 650 Gough St, 415-869-1900
UD - Burger Bar's Most Extravagant Burger

MONEY IN THE BANK

Burger Bar's Most Extravagant Burger

If the dollar-menu is in your future, go out with a bang. Head to Burger Bar and get the Rossini, a Kobe beef burger topped with foie gras, truffle shavings and Madeira sauce on an onion bun. At $60, it's worth its price in grams of fat.

Burger Bar, 251 Geary St (at Macy's, 6th Floor), 415-296-4272

BREAKING A SWEAT

The Pho Garden Challenge

We'd say you're in good enough shape to enter the Pho Garden Challenge. If you get through a bowl of two pounds of meat and two pounds of pho in 30 minutes, you'll get your picture on the wall (and a free dinner). Call it carbo-loading for that triathlon you may or may not do.
411:
Pho Garden, 2109 Clement St (at 22nd), 415-379-8677
UD - The Timeshare of Sports Cars

SAVING THE EARTH

The Timeshare of Sports Cars

We'll be the first to admit that a Prius, bless its eco-friendly heart, doesn't drive like a Ferrari. So join Sportiva, an exotic car club that puts you in the most rare sports cars on the road, like the Maserati Quattroporte or Audi R8. Then head home and replace a few light bulbs with compact fluorescents—as a carbon offset of sorts.
411:
Club Sportiva, 415-978-9900
UD - Cigar Service at Palio D'Asti

GOING UP IN SMOKE

Cigar Service at Palio D'Asti

It's like the back patio was built for stogies and single-malts. And you'd be a fool not to take advantage of its three-page cigar menu with pre-embargo Pinar 3000 Cuban cigars like the XXX Maduro Double Corona. So you could give up smoking entirely, or just amend your resolution to: quit smoking cigarettes.

Palio D'Asti, 640 Sacramento St, 415-395-9800
