The Urbane Beer Hikers
Blog: thebeergeek.com - 2 December 2010
We’re not unfamiliar with walking all over a city visiting pubs, brewpubs and breweries. From our earliest days of beer travel, this was our favorite mode of transportation. Turns out, there is a whole website devoted to this mode of beer crawl, urbanbeerhikes.com. Thanks to our friend, Chris Devlin, we met the website’s owner and [...]

1¢ Shots Courtesy of the Lex Every Hard and Fast Tuesday
Blog: Broke-Ass Stuart's Goddamn Website - 9 November 2010
Okay, so when it comes to getting toasty, you could hardly do worse than making a pit stop at the Lexington Club. The Lex has a fondness for making a drop-in worth your while by offering booze in varieties of heavy-handed and cheap, or perhaps hard and fast? They have quite possibly out done themselves with [...] Related posts:FREE Jameson Shots at Savalas

FREE Soup For A Donation, Courtesy of the Soup Lady
Blog: Broke-Ass Stuart's Goddamn Website - 1 November 2010
Though not the only one ladling things out of a stockpot these days, the woman known as the “Soup Lady” has probably embraced the temperament of the times more than other ambulant vendors given that she actually gives away the stuff for free. The back story is winding, but it would seem the the Soup Lady’s [...] Related posts:Try The Best French Oni

Tips for Checking Out San Francisco’s Tourist Spots
Blog: Ciao Bambino! - 7 October 2010
When visiting San Francisco the list of must-sees can be overwhelming. You can’t do it all. Make choices, and plan on coming back again. If you’re looking to go a little off the beaten path, check out some of my favorite things to do in Golden Gate Park. Amie also has a list of her favorite City by the Bay escapes. But if you’re looking to visit some of the more touristy spots, a little advance planning can save you a lot of aggravation and precious travel time.

Tonight: FREE Happy Hour Comedy Returns to Madrone
Blog: Broke-Ass Stuart's Goddamn Website - 6 October 2010
It’s been awhile since the starts have aligned for me to make it over to Madrone on Divis for one of their first-Wednesdays Comedy Happy Hours, but the jokes I do remember between the $2 PBRs and dollar-off drafts from the last one were a HILARIOUS mix of insightful stand-up routines and possibly-stoned comedians riffing [...] Related posts:8 Hour Happy Hour Tonight at Madrone

Conquering Mammoth Proportions at Mission’s Kitchen
Blog: Broke-Ass Stuart's Goddamn Website - 4 October 2010
Mission’s Kitchen is outwardly deceiving because, from the 1940’s blinds in the window to the sign trimmed in incandescent bulbs, the place look’s like your typical diner that time forgot, not unlike say, Jim’s up the street. The thing is that whereas it does provide all the standards-for-a-song you would find at any diner, it also [...] Related posts:Brunch at Marine’s: Escape

More Cheap All-You-Can-Eat Pizza at The Lookout on Tuesday Nights
Blog: Broke-Ass Stuart's Goddamn Website - 3 October 2010
I’ll start out with a hypothetical: It’s a Tuesday afternoon, you’ve been working like a dog all day (or, like me, woke up at 3pm because you work from home and set your own hours) and you’re STARVING.

Blog: Broke-Ass Stuart's Goddamn Website - 2 October 2010
We may have missed last night’s FREE Night of the Living Read event that kicked off this year’s Litquake Literary Festival in San Francisco, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have plenty more opportunities to mingle with writers, novelists, poets and various other wordsmiths during the rest of the week.

My second apartment in the city was on 18th Avenue at Geary in an area I like to call “Central Richmond” (Google Maps tells me this is a real term in existence, but I’ve never heard anybody actually speak this in conversation). Anyway, there were a ton of cheap and delicious restaurants right around the corner [...] Related posts:Mee Mee Bakery – Cheap Bulk Fortune Cookies!

A Museum Your Kids (All Ages) Will Love
Blog: Ciao Bambino! - 22 September 2010
It’s good to be a kid these days. Not that being a kid was bad when I was growing up, but being a kid now has perks that didn’t exist when my age was still written in single digits. Playgrounds had slides and swings, not rock climbling walls and carousels. We rode bikes, not electric scooters, and we listened to cassettes, not iPods. In the past ten years there’s been an explosion of things just for kids. Think about it. Hotel kids’ clubs, kids’ menus and move over Louvre, kids’ museums.

The newest addition to Berkeley’s already abundant series of farmers markets is the Beehive Market, a market with seemingly younger, hipper, and better-looking patrons. But this is how most Bay Area food events seem to be evolving.

Mexican Bicentennial and Centennial Celebration Tonight at City Hall
Blog: Broke-Ass Stuart's Goddamn Website - 15 September 2010
Up here in the northernmost and wettest reaches of Alta California, la Independencia isn’t even a blip on the radar most years. Which is why, on this, the Bicentennial of Mexico’s Independence and Centennial of the Revolution, I had hoped to be in DF drinking cubas, eating chiles en nogada and getting swept up in [...] Related posts:Watch the USA vs Algeria Game for FREE at City Hal

DIY Mania All Month Long

Screenprinting, fermenting, hot-gluing, oh my! This month is like a DIY lover’s entry to Oz, a land where everything is more colorful because of spraypaint, mosaic tiles, and vintage fabric. Did you read that NY Times article about how we can’t grow up and get “real” jobs?
