Where there’s a weekend, there’s a way.
PITCHER PERFECT
Pizza and Pitchers at the American
The Del Popolo truck’s popping up at the American Grilled Cheese Kitchen tomorrow. What will be there:
pizza, of course, and beers from Linden Street and Pac Brew Labs. What won’t be there: grilled cheese. Oh,
the irony.
- 411:
- Jul 19, 5-9pm, The American Grilled Cheese Kitchen, 1 S Park Ave (at 2nd), 415-243-0107
LOUNGE ACT
Cocktailing at the New E&O
The Union Square spot just got revitalized/reconcepted, with a new lounge-oriented focus. You’ll find a
raw bar, small bites like ahi tuna poppers and Asian-influenced drinks like the gin/elderflower
Concubine. Actual concubines: you’re on your own for those.
- 411:
- Now open, E&O Asian Kitchen, 314 Sutter St (at Stockton), 415-693-0303
CHARITY CASE
Rappelling Down a Hotel in Union Square
You and Ethan Hunt have a lot in common. Okay, that’s not true, but you do have this: rappelling off of
buildings. Your version: a 425-foot drop off the roof of the Grand Hyatt, which comes with a donation to
Special Olympics Northern California. Playing the Mission: Impossible theme: optional.
- 411:
- Jul 20-21, 8am-5pm, $1,250 suggested donation, Grand Hyatt Union Square, 345 Stockton St (at Sutter), 402-592-6464
MAMAN MIA
French-Mexican Food, It’s a Thing
Imagine a ménage à trois with you, Marion Cotillard and Salma Hayek. We’ll give you a minute. Now add
food to the equation. Now subtract Marion and Salma. What you’re left with: this place, the Potrero
bistro’s new sister restaurant, serving up mussels, crepes and... quesadillas. Okay, you can add Marion
and Salma back now.
- 411:
- Now open, Chez Maman West, 401 Gough St (at Hayes), 415-355-9067, see the menu
SCREENSHOT
You, Jimmy Stewart and 100 Martinis
The views at the Mark’s penthouse bar: panoramic. So panoramic, in fact, that you can see Washington, DC,
from there. Well, kind of—they’re screening Hollywood classics with popcorn, gratis wine and that epic
martini list. Next up: Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. You love a good filibuster.
- 411:
- Tuesdays through Sep 4, wine tasting 5:30pm, movie 7:30pm, Top of the Mark, 1 Nob Hill (at California), 415-616-6916
