If you’re curious about what grows in your (or your neighbor’s) back yard, head to the Underground Farmers Market on January 28, where you can pick up locally foraged mushrooms, locally brewed kombucha and much, much more. The event will run from 5 to 11 p.m., but the location has yet to be announced. Check this site for details as they emerge.

Would you like some earrings with that hot toddy? Just in time for the holidays, Lightbox has put together their third show—a Saturday afternoon Crafty Hour that will highlight gifts for $50 or under. It’s all about affordable, unique gifts from local designers. Come shop and get your drink on!

In true style, Foreign Cinema is doing it up for their 10th anniversary. We're talking magicians, dancers, henna artists, acrobats, jugglers and, of course, plentiful cocktails and bites from the Foreign Cinema kitchen.

Proceeds from the evening will support the Bay Area nonprofit organization, DrawBridge, which is committed to providing creative art programs for homeless children and youth.

What's that new swanky brick space in the Mission, you say? It's The Corner, a sister restaurant to Weird Fish, and definitely worth checking out. Alex Jackson (formerly of Gramercy Tavern, St. John and Bacchanalia) is the chef on hand and he'll be cooking up  a full menu starting today. So head over and try some lamb sweetbreads, truffle fondue, fried rabbit and more.

Could this be the new Yoshi's? Chris Pastena and Bruce Hanson will open the doors at Coda to introduce a food and music venue to the Mission district. Coda will present dinner and music six nights a week. Adam Theis and the Jazz Mafia will perform on opening night, beginning a weekly Tuesday residency. Be one of the first to check it out.
