Pie in the Park this Sunday
What’s better than hanging out in Prospect Park on a beautiful summer day, playing some croquet and literally shoving pie in your pie hole? Unless you’re going to say to me “the construction people outside of your apartment starting at 9AM instead of 7AM,” then not much. And you can
Off the Grid: Street Food Extravaganza at Fort Mason Friday Night
It’s no secret that Broke-Ass staff enjoy eating while standing, and if recent food trends are to be believed everything just tastes better when you order it from a Roach Coach Gourmet Food Truck.

FREE Drinks at The Ambassador on Thursday Night!
Friends, I’m not gonna lie. I’m not really into club-y, lounge-y type places. I much prefer the dive bars that are so dark and filthy that none of the other patrons can see — literally — that I haven’t showered in days and wouldn’t give two shits if they could.
DIY: Bling Your Bobby Pins
Bobby pins are the opposite of lighters – instead of always disappearing, they seem to be everywhere: pockets, the bottom of purses, any available surface. Just the other night, a friend of mine gave me an impromptu up-do using eight bobby pins while we sat at the Bloodhound and drank
