We hope you saved your "I Voted" sticker or ballot stub because Bay Area establishments are offering rewards to participating Americans. Save your sanity with free fries, cocktails, distractions, and special discounts this Tuesday.
Super Taco + Tequila Tuesday
Got to urge to keep voting? Head to the Marina for a Taco Tuesday showdown between neighbors White Rabbit (3138 Fillmore St.) and Balboa Cafe (3199 Fillmore St). Sample each spot's taco and marg combo, then vote for your favorite via social media. The winner will be announced Wednesday, November 4th.
Watch Party at Zeitgeist
Reserve your private booth at this beloved Mission dive bar (199 Valencia St., zeitgeistsf.com), where you can keep your friends close and your (discounted) booze closer as the election results are projected on Zeitgeist's back wall during the watch party from 5pm to 9pm.
Free Fries!
Ready to carb load? Sport your "I Voted" sticker or bring your ballot stub to all Super Duper Burgers locations Bay Area–wide and get an order of fries on the house.

Get a breath of free culture.
If art is part of your political process, this is just a friendly notice that San Francisco museums—including the Conservatory of Flowers, the de Young, Museum of Craft and Design, Legion of Honor, and Contemporary Jewish Museum—will be offering free admission on Thursday, November 4th.
