Here’s looking at you, the weekend.
PERK ALERT
Perks on Truffles, Ties and Gear
This week we’re sending you a box of truffles directly from
Northern Italy—the same importers the French Laundry uses—for 25% off. Plus, we’re hooking you up
with a
handsome tie or bow tie from General Knot and 50% off gifts for everyone in your life at Alpha. Treat
yourself...
OLD MISS
Tupelo’s Grand-Opening Party
If you duck into this newly transformed soul food hangout/Southern dive bar tonight, you’ll be rewarded
with a gratis sampling of the menu—including ham hock croquettes, po’boys, and mac and cheese. Opt for
one of the cocktails made with sweet-tea vodka, and if it didn’t feel like Mississippi before, it will
now.
- 411:
- Nov 17, gratis food 7-8:30pm, Tupelo, 1337 Grant Ave (at Green), 415-981-9177
DOLLAR TREE
$1 Oysters All Day at Hog & Rocks
You’re accustomed to dollar oysters for happy hour. But if we said you could have them all day, five days
a week, you’d laugh. And then when you realized it wasn’t a joke, you’d thank the good people at Hog
& Rocks, who are also throwing in beer-and-shot specials twice a day.
- 411:
- Sun-Thu through Jan 1, Hog & Rocks, 3431 19th St (at Mission), 415-550-8627
OTTO VON BISMARCK
Brunch at Leopold’s
Brunchified takes on goulash and flatbreads, along with shandies and the bubbly-and-beer Bismarck,
mean that the noise level here during the day will likely rival night. Then again, without it, Leopold’s
wouldn’t be Leopold’s.
- 411:
- Sat-Sun, 11am-2:30pm, Leopold’s, 2400 Polk St (at Union), 415-474-2000, see the menu
CAEN DO
Martini Face-Off at Bottle Cap
Whether or not you ever drank martinis with legendary local columnist Herb Caen, your presence here will
give you the power to vote for your favorite Herb Caen–inspired martini. Our guess would be whichever one
has the most vodka in it.
- 411:
- Nov 22, 6-7:30pm, $5 online, Bottle Cap, 1707 Powell St (at Union), 415-529-2237, tickets here
PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES
Getting to Tahoe via Zimride
Being the outstanding neighbor that you are (Veronica in 4B sends thanks again for her wi-fi), giving an
eager skier a lift to Tahoe seems appropriate since you’re going anyway. Zimride’s starting their Tahoe
ride-sharing route on Thanksgiving. You name your price—just don’t do it in turkey sandwiches.

- Tahoe routes start Nov 24, Zimride
