Nancy Einhart | March 21, 2011 11:51 amIf you're feeling a little rundown after this weekend's typhoony Winter weather, I've found four events this week to perk you right up, from a vintage shopping bonanza to booze for a good cause.
On Tuesday, March 22, DNA and SF Indie Fashion unveil All Vintage Everything, a shopping event that rounds up the best Bay Area vintage clothing dealers. Sip on cocktails while you shop from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m.Read More
Nancy Einhart | February 4, 2011 11:23 amIf your house is woefully devoid of a flat screen but you aren't the sports bar type, then skip the homemade seven-layer dip and watch this year's Super Bowl in style. Whether you're partial to rock shows, jazz clubs, pig roasts, or wine-soaked garden parties, I've found four alternative outlets for watching the game this Sunday. In most cases, space is limited, so make a reservation today; kickoff is at 3:30 p.m.Read More
Nancy Einhart | January 14, 2011 4:42 pmHouse of Shields (39 New Montgomery St., 415-975-8651) has always been one of my favorite happy hour spots, so I was excited to see the space revamped by Chef Dennis Leary of Canteen. Judging by the teeming happy hour crowds, so was everyone else.

This spacious hangout includes large tables and family-style seating, which makes it a perfect place to watch your favorite teams tear it up on one of the 10 flat screens. Thankfully, this isn't your college buddy's bar food.Read More
