LENS CRAFTERS
Crazy British Stuff at Unionmade
So there’s this cult London-based magazine. It’s called Monocle. Put out by a band of world
travelers and jetsetters who are up on, say, Belgrade’s karaoke scene. This pop-up has the mag, plus
Kitsuné sweaters and Inoue Brothers travel blankets. Tonight’s festivities also involve wines from
Scribe. Apt name, that.

- May 17, 6:30-8:30pm; pop-up through Jul 17; Unionmade, 493 Sanchez St (at 18th), 415-861-3373
WORLD WIDE WEB
Old World Food Truck at Proxy
Every Thursday at lunch, you can find this Eastern European/Jewish soul food truck at the Mission Dispatch.
But tomorrow night, it’ll make its Off the Grid debut—serving up pierogies, schnitzel and brisket
goulash. Friday night isn’t Friday night without goulash.

MAKING A SCENE
Watching Live Feeds from Bars
Starting Friday, you can remotely watch live feeds from the likes of Ambassador and Taverna Aventine. Plus,
thanks to facial-detection technology, you can see stats on what the crowd’s like—including the
male-to-female ratio—in real time. Or you could just, you know, go there.
