BRAND-NEW PERKS
Half Off Your Next Pair of Designer Jeans
This week, Perks is taking half off your next pair of cult selvage denim jeans, fresh from the laboratory:
the Denim Design Lab. It’s modern-day jean science, with a dash of old-timey alchemy. A little jean
alchemy goes a long way.

MISS INDEPENDENT
Peruvian Independence Week at La Mar
The proper respect should be paid to a country’s national drink, especially when that nation is
celebrating its birthday (Peru’s was technically yesterday). And by respect, we mean raising a glass of $5
pisco sours, pisco punch or chilcano de pisco all week. And maybe eating some
guinea pig...
- 411:
- Now through Aug 4, 4-6pm, La Mar Cebicheria, Pier 1.5, Embarcadero, 415-397-8880
THE DRAWING BOARD
25 Years of Pixar at Oakland Museum
Pixar’s had a pretty good run—Toy Story, Wall-E, Toy Story 2, Toy Story 3... See how they
pulled it off at the new exhibit with more than 500 of their storyboards, graphics and notoriously hilarious
short films. And we promise not to tell anyone you cried during Up.
- 411:
- Jul 31-Jan 9, Oakland Museum of California, 1000 Oak St, Oakland, 510-238-2200
RUM RUNNERS
Drink the British Royal Navy’s Rum
You have a few rules in this life, one of them being “no one rations your booze.” So you’ll be in good
company at Smuggler’s Cove, where you’ll get your share of the largest collection of authentic British
Royal Navy rums from back when sailors had their daily “tot.” In other words, it’s time to pack 40
years’ worth of rum rations into two hours.
- 411:
- Jul 31, 5-7pm, Smuggler’s Cove, 650 Gough St (at McAllister), 415-869-1900
HAPPY HOURING
Margarita Happy Hour at Mijita
You usually go to the Ferry Building for farmers’ market goodies, not tequila. But you’re willing to
expand your mind, and to help you, the good people of Mijita are dishing out $5 margaritas on the rocks with
endless chips and salsa—but you might have to bring your own farmer’s daughter.
- 411:
- Mon-Fri starting Aug 2, 5-7pm, Mijita, Ferry Building Marketplace, 415-399-0814
TACO THURSDAYS
Pre-Ordering Namu’s Market Lunch
If the epic lines have stopped you from indulging in Namu’s Korean tacos with kalbi short ribs and kimchee
salsa, then you’ll like their new loophole: pre-order. There’s a minimum, but you’ll probably be more
concerned with the maximum.
- 411:
- Order Wednesday by noon for Thursday pickup (minimum $75 purchase), fax 415-666-3553, phone 415-386-8332 or email here
