33% Off Nice Things for Your Body

First, we’d like you to undress. And then accept a bonus $50 toward clothes from Gant, McNairy and more at the online handsomeness shop Wittmore. Next, pick out some nifty water-and-wind-repellent pants and coats for over 30% off. And for the final touch: slide on these HD-video-camera-equipped sunglasses. There. You’re set.

Kimchi Burritos in North Beach

Meet HRD Smokin Grill. It’s the dinner counterpart to SoMa’s HRD Coffee Shop (naturally), and it’s bringing Asian diner-ish kimchi burritos and Mongolian cheesesteaks to North Beach. The decor—picnic tables and an autographed Guy Fieri poster—works for a quick pit stop, but you’re not here for ambience anyway.

So. Many. Ways. To. Eat. Chocolate.
CRAZY FOR COCOA POPS

So. Many. Ways. To. Eat. Chocolate.

Pretty big day for chocolates coming up. Yep, Super Bowl Sunday. Anyway, we thought you should know you can now stop by Dandelion’s new on-site café for brownies, hot chocolate and cacao-fruit smoothies—bet Mr. Wonka didn’t see that last one coming.

Saturday
Your New Shave Cream Is Here
WIZARDS OF OZ

Your New Shave Cream Is Here

You follow some simple rules: don’t start a land war in Asia. Tie goes to the runner. And if it makes an Aussie smell good, you’ll try it. So give a “g’day, mate” to Melbourne-based Aesop’s first West Coast store. They’ve got skin creams, exotic shaving serums and... probably some soap.

Now open, Aesop, 2450 Fillmore St (at Jackson), 415-775-1837

Sunday
Big Dive Night at Starlight Room
HIGH DIVE

Big Dive Night at Starlight Room

The classic dive bar. Starlight Room is... not one of those. But this Sunday, it is—they’re bringing you an evening of $2 PBRs and $5 whiskey shot/PBR combos. Try not to spill any on the white tablecloths.

Tuesday

Piperade Has a To-Go Window Now

Someday soon, you’re going to walk down an alley, find a secret location and procure some illicit substances: you know, like a Reuben. Okay, maybe it’s not that illicit, but it is what you’ll find at Piperade’s new quasi-secret takeout window. Sadly, your first taste won’t be free.
