Now you know. FREE BBQ at pseudo-dive bar Lucky 13 makes everybody happy. Hipsters, anti-hipsters, carnivores, vegans (eat the FREE popcorn), more. From 4 to 7 pm, Saturdays throughout our so-called summer. Jukebox. Pool table. Photo booth. And this just in...it's "dog-friendly". (See post above)

PARK CHALET WEEKEND BBQ

Did you know The Park Chalet, located in San Francisco's world famous Golden Gate Park, just steps from Queen Wilhelmina's Windmill and the fabulous Dutch Tulip Garden, has a BBQ grill going every Saturday and Sunday in our so-called spring and summer months?

Neither did we. But it's true. From 10 am - 5 pm, Saturdays and Sundays they're cooking burgers and hotdogs and bratwursts; ahi tuna sandos and corn on the cob -- something for everybody. FREE music kicks in around 2 pm 'til 5 pm.

Ssssh! This will be a well needed secret spot this Sunday, especially after the Bay to Breakers.

Ok so, it's Saturday, it's gonna rain. You've got $11. You can

a) go to the movies

or
