The List

Hump This

Eat: 5A5 Steak Lounge

244 Jackson St, btwn Battery and Front; Jackson Square; 415.989.2539

Open now in Frisson's stead, 5A5's a swanky carnivore's lounge with gold-glowing wall treatments, plush white suede booths, and an expansive bar space at the entry. The no-joke grub ranges from daikon/togarashi spiced beef tataki, to a 22oz T-bone w/ onion rings, to NY strip/filet/ribeye/etc cuts of A5 beef, and your entire eatsperience'll be soundtracked by decidedly groovy DJs, presumably under the handle Moo Live Crew.

This preliminary menu's bangin', and subject to tweaks

Learn: SF Cocktail Week Crunking Classes

Tomorrow at various locations

Cocktail Week's got a grip of pro-taught booze classes, including the tools and techniques of batching badass party punches (w/ Elixir's owner), "How To Be a Bartender", covering the finer points of shaking, stirring, muddling, garnishing, etc, and a history lesson on Barbary Coast-themed cocktails at Rye. At each event, you'll drink down whatever you're learning about, a memory-jeopardizing practice ensuring people show up to these things next year.

Vid: Death Star Destroys Enterprise

Some Trek hater crafted this amateurish vid of a few Stormtroopers watching the Death Star superlaser the SS Enterprise to oblivion over the bay, then celebrate with a fist-pound, the official Imperial mocking of Skywalker's stump-bump.

Skip Star Trek; watch this

Join: Thrillist Hamptons

People think the Hamptons are all about Sex and the City, but really, they're about people who just want to get out of the city to have some sex. To help with that, we're unleashing a summer-long Hamptons edition revealing everything from wrigglingly fresh Thai to reptile racing; tell your Hamptons-bound friends to sign up, and they'll thank you with hugs that linger just long enough to express gratitude, but not long enough to express their desire to give you a pair of sexy pumps.

Tell all relevant parties about Thrillist Hamptons, and sign yourself up if you're headed that way
