All work and no play makes a dull weekend.
PERK ALERT
Just a Bunch of Vintage Rolexes
Rolex. Apparently, they’re kind of a big deal. Well, we’re getting you some of their handsomest
watches ever for less than the going rate. (Thank us later.) Also, you’re getting 25% off wall art made
from sound waves and up to 64% off the sharpest knives on earth. (Your turkey deserves it.)
WEST SIDE STORY
A Beer Showdown at Public House
On Tuesday, it was all about red states versus blue states. Today at Public House, it’s about East Coast
versus West, on an even more important subject: beer. This event faces off eight beers and cheeses from both
sides of the country. Bipartisanship never sounded so good.

- Nov 8, 6-8pm, $60, Public House, 24 Willie Mays Plaza (in AT&T Park), 415-644-0240, tickets here
COAT TALES
Beer. Champagne. Sweaters.
Two days ago, it felt like summer. Today, not so much. Related: the New England–inspired clothiers at
Onassis stockpiled a fair amount of drinks like beer and champagne to celebrate their opening and are taking
15% off a bunch of autumn-y wearables. But they had you at drinks.
GRAND CENTRAL STATION
Central Kitchen Gets into Brunch
Brunch. You’re familiar. So you pretty much know what to expect from Central Kitchen’s debut on the
scene: Bloody Marys, pork-belly benedict, olive-oil-fried eggs and grilled bavette. Sometimes the expected
feels so right.
- 411:
- Sundays, 10am-2:30pm, Central Kitchen, 3000 20th St (at Florida), 415-826-7004
HOMECOMING QUEEN
A Hall of Fame Meal at Jardinière
To celebrate its 15th anniversary, Jardinière invited some of their former chefs and sous-chefs to cook for
the night. Which means guys from Bar Bambino, La Folie, Redd and Serpentine are making you lamb, quail and
sea urchin. You knew there’d be sea urchin.

- Nov 12, cocktail party 5:30pm, dinner 7pm, Jardinière, 300 Grove St (at Franklin), 415-861-5555
OLIVE BRANCH
A Martini Competition at Bottle Cap
Herb Caen. Great journalist. Great drinker. Well, four of North Beach’s top bartenders—from Txoko, 15
Romolo, Campanula and Bottle Cap—are competing to make an original martini inspired by Herb. The judge:
you, with the winner going on Bottle Cap’s menu all month long. Probably your most important vote all
week.
- 411:
- Nov 13, 6-7:30pm, $5 ($10 at door), Bottle Cap, 1707 Powell St (at Union), 415-529-2237, tickets here
