Booze
A Wine Filled Upstate Escape
When I got married, my husband and I celebrated our union with a honeymoon trip to Italy. I made sure our voyage included many clichéd romantic moments’candlelight dinners, wine tours and er’um’an audience with the Pope. In an effort to relive those magical moments, my husband and I happened upon
Crazy Cheap Martinis at the Cliff House
I’m pretty sure everyone in SF knows where and what the Cliff House is – that art deco building out on the far point of the city over looking the Ocean and the ruins of the Sutro Baths. But being the cheapass that I am, I’ve never eaten there because
8 Hour Happy Hour Tonight at Madrone
A couple times when I’ve been walking around the city I see a chalkboard in front of a random bar claiming said establishment has the “Longest Happy Hour in SF”. Now like I said I’ve seen this move at multiple bars, but I’ve never thought to actually do the math

Late Night 2-4-1 @ Harvey’s
Yours truly used to actually work at Harvey’s, and even then I was kind of embarrassed to say so. The place is over-priced and serves pretty crappy food. That, and although I know its named in honour of Mr. Milk, one can’t help but feel its more using the name
NYC Cocktail Lounges Worth the Splurge
One of the best things about being in NYC is the bevy of places where cheap–and even free–booze can be found. Dive bars, gallery openings, beer tastings and more abound all over the city, so, generally speaking. your level of cheap intoxication is entirely dependent on your motivation. I remember
