San Francisco

515 Gough St, at Grove; Hayes Valley; 415.861.1025

An expansive gear emporium decked out with Italian chandeliers, Acrimony vends wildly eclectic brands, from the updated prepsterism of United Bamboo, to the teched out urban-commando of Public School, to the muted street-savvy of House of Cassette, a welcome advancement over the chunky stylings of House of 8-Track.

330 Ritch St, off Townsend; SOMA

330's expanded on exposed bricks for a mod gentlemen's-club look: chrome barstools, flannelled-ceilings, and bar chalkboards salvaged from Stanford classrooms. In an odd twist, the kitchen won't open 'til 2am, serving after-hours bites like smoked salmon wrapped asparagus, and sweet potato blinis w/ caviar and créme fraiche -- items obviously salvaged from Stanford tailgate party platters.

Sit in the newly fatted Sections 316-318, and $35'll get you admission, plus unlimited hot dogs, nachos, peanuts, popcorn, soda, and ice cream -- because with the A's, it's all about gutting it out on a limited payroll.

942 Valencia St, btwn 20th and Liberty; The Mission; 415.642.0841

Though known for women's clothing, HoH is knocking 20% off their high-end men's work and streetwear, from tees, to slacks, to blazers. (For your flannel needs, look to House of Angst.)

3117 16th St, btwn Valencia and Guerrero; The Mission;
415.864.2767

This screening series venerates elaborate pranks/media stunts from wackos as disparate as the almost-too-political Yes Men and the fat-headed Doggie Diner folks. The real gem's the story of a hapless remote-control Cadillac as it's blasted with heavy artillery in the Nevada Desert -- the film's called Car Hunt, but you'll recognize it as video evidence of why you walked home from Burning Man '07.
