Things To Do In San Francisco

Oktoberfest

Exchange your wimpy pint glass for a litre-sized beer stein and raise it to the annual celebration of German heritage (i.e. beer, sausage and polka): Oktoberfest. You won’t need a flight to Munich to join in the festivities, but you may need an Alka-Seltzer and a few hairs of the dog that bit you. Prost!

Slow Food City

Like a perfectly vine-ripened heirloom tomato, this weekend’s Slow Food Nation events are sure to be worth the wait. Check out a few of the festival’s highlights below, or if you want to avoid the crowds, celebrate farm-to-table dining on your own at one of the city’s farmer's markets or many sustainable, organic eateries.

$5 Fill-Up

With gas going for almost a Lincoln per gallon, why not ditch the car and put some fuel into what really drives you: your belly? Five dollars may not get you far in a car, but it'll get your tummy tank filled to the brim at these humble eateries, all within a short walk of the city’s major public-transit hubs.

The Citysearch Contributors



Ever wonder how we stay up on San Francisco's ever-evolving crop of new businesses? Or how we figure out where to get connoisseur-grade coffee to wake us up after drinking more than 100 beers? Or how we put together a list of sun-drenched public rooftops where you can hike up your best jeans and tan those pasty SF stems? We’re good, but we’re not that good. Our secret weapon is our Citysearch Contributors group--a savvy team of influential SF insiders who tip us off to everything from where they had their first gastrorgasm to where they indulge their inner redneck.


On August 6, we rewarded them with a sensory-deprivation dinner in the dark at Opaque, where we fed them taste-altering miracle fruit followed by some mind-bending absinthe at Jade Bar for good measure. If you know every nook, cranny and back-alley speakeasy in SF, write us here, join our ranks, and get on the list for our next event.

Labor Day Planner

Here in SF, our warm Indian summers make us perhaps more appreciative of a long Labor Day weekend than any other city. So ditch work early on Friday, grab a cold Anchor Steam and plan out where you and your party will be heading (in town or out) to optimize the three-day vacay.
