Going to start posting about the cheap dates my husband and I go on around the bay. These aren't formal four course dinners or anything like that. No, that would require some $. We're just trying to be creative with what we have and take advantage of all the free and cheap things to do around here!
Tonight's date, Cruising Potrero Hill
Tonight we are hoping to shatter the myth that there is "nothing to do except be a family" in this little neighborhood between 101 and 280. We are thinking of moving here so we hope to find otherwise on this date.
First up: Sourdough thin crust at
Goat Hill Pizza. Please be good! Also, I will be having an Anchor Steam to make up for not being able to tour the brewery, which is just down the hill and around the corner. Who can actually go on a brewery tour at 10AM on a weekday? Seriously. They need to add some evening tours or opening a bar would be good too.
Next up: Stroll down 18th Street, which is supposedly where it's happening on the hill. Planning on taking a peek into
Farley's, a cafe! Because every neighborhood needs a good one. Just in case you need to walk there at 10pm. I would also like to spot an O.J. Simpson mural, since I've heard there are several (still?!) in the area. Potrero Hill was his childhood home.
And finally: Catching a show at
Bottom of the Hill! Tonight, I The Mighty,
Scissors for Lefty, Via Coma, and Fight the Villain are all playing (although we're really just going for Scissors) and tickets are only $10 a pop!
Can't wait for my date! I'll let you know how it goes and if Potrero is still on the list of possible relocation destinations.
Anyone want to join us for the show???
