The restaurant question we get asked more than anything is definitely: "Where should we go for my friend's birthday party?" Generally speaking, the situation involves a party of 10, more than a party of 200, but this restaurant short-list can accomodate a wide scope of food preferences, ambiance and number of people. Since we're of the mindset that hard booze never hurts, we've put a star by the restaurants with a full bar. Go ahead now: Celebrate good times. Common!

Come out and show your support for Buena Vista Elementary School, the first Spanish Immersion center in California and the second in the states. To celebrate its 25th anniversary, the school is throwing a party with 20 DJs, two bands, live painting and a silent auction. Nibbles will be provided by Kokkari and Spork and all proceeds will benefit the school.

To celebrate our Eat & Drink awards (a.k.a the Piggies, thusly named because winners receive their own bronze pig statuette) we convinced seven of our winning restaurants to host pork-centric dinners on Monday nights throughout the month of February.

Participating restaurants: Ozumo, Delfina, La Folie, Slanted Door, Laïola, Nopa and Kokkari—check out some of the amazing pork concoctions below. Smoked bacon cocktails and more! Behold below, the dates and menus—call restaurants directly to reserve your table!

On the two spits set directly in front of the flames, he’s roasted nearly every type of meat imaginable, from whole, milk-fed Napa Valley lamb to Moscovy hen and Berkshire pig. Cooking has never been so elemental—nor, we might add, so simply delicious.
