Very important cat news: San Francisco is apparently getting a cat cafe, cleverly named KitTea. Try not to crash Kayak booking your plane tickets all at once!
These two girls in the upscale Noe Valley neighborhood of San Francisco are lightyears ahead of America's unenlightened children, who toil over crappy lemonade stands, mixing Country Time powder into a vat of lukewarm water with vague ambition for future riches. For starters, they've already figured out how to prey on…
None of us expect public transportation to be a safe haven or the men and women who drive buses bastions of good will. However, none of us expects to be assaulted, threatened, and then completely ignored by the driver. That's what one woman claims happened to her in San Francisco last night.
An extremely important piece of information has come to Jezebel's attention: A Macy's in San Francisco has opted for a rather unique holiday window display. Forget designer gowns or Christmas trees. Instead, the company's Union Square location has partnered with the SF SPCA to fill them with adorable, adoptable puppies …
Young Miles is getting a dream come true thanks to the clever people at Make-a-Wish Foundation. On November 15, the five-year-old, who has leukemia, will spend the day crime fighting his way around San Francisco with his favorite superhero, Batman.
San Francisco, you have officially lost your goddamned mind.
Few people will admit this kind of morbidity in polite company, but it’s fun to fantasize about having a crazy, over-the-top, orangutans-as-pallbearers, Liza Minnelli-hired-to-wail-as-they-lower-your-coffin-into-the-earth-forever funeral (comedian Nick Swardson, for instance, discusses funeral antics with all the glee…
A unionized strip club run by its own crew of dancers garbed a little more alternatively than your average stripper might sound like a dream, but until this weekend, it was alive in San Francisco and it was called The Lusty Lady.
This couple will keep on rocking in the free world, whether or not you want them to. And you do want them to because they're kinda the best.
Last weekend's Outside Lands music festival in San Francisco was so fucking fun that apparently the entire city — and quite a few tourists — left something behind. From SF Appeal, unclaimed items include several smartphones, numerous wallets, keys, cameras, credit cards, driver’s licenses, three German passports, two…
Lyft, one of San Francisco's most beloved new apps, isn't a bad idea if you think about it very briefly: the city's transit service isn't great, so let's make it easy to pay for a ride
Taste the rainbow, motherfuckers.
The Tamale Lady (Virginia Ramos) is a San Francisco icon. She sells delicious homemade tamales to drunk patrons all over the city, but is a particular institution at a rowdy and crowded bar called Zeitgeist, where she's doled out munchies and advice to customers for over 20 years. Now, Zeitgeist claims the city has…
How fun, a naked San Franciscan did some acrobatics all over the 16th Street Bart Station last month! Well, that's how some local media outlets initially (and very regrettably) described the story. Based on new video footage, the man was definitely mentally ill and/or high — and he aggressively attempted to assault a…
Here we have San Francisco bookstore Adobe Books' "Women's Studies" section: all Twilight, all the time.
Late Saturday night, five women on the way to a bachelorette party died after a fire broke out in their limousine. The bride, who was just recently married, was among those killed. The driver and four other women managed to escape.
Once upon a time, a long long time ago (ok, a year and a half), I lived amongst the techies and burners of San Francisco. I'll always love that beautiful city for its breathtaking views and burritos, but Christ did all that chillness stress me the fuck out. I never felt more like a neurotic high-strung misfit than the…
At a news conference this morning announcing SF's decision to declare Valentine's Day in San Francisco "One Billion Rising Day" — which strives to draw attention to the fact that an estimated one billion women and girls are affected by domestic or sexual violence — District Attorney George Gascon reminded listeners that…
If waving your genitals at casual passersby in San Francisco is on your bucket list (and, let's be real, if it isn't, how can you be sure you're heart's really beating?), then you'd better hurry up and do it before Feb. 1 rolls around and makes genital-exposing in Fog City a much more fraught endeavor. That's when an…
