It's a little quiet in the city this week, but we're not mad about it.
While many are wrapping up summer by galavanting about Europe, we're closing it out with wine tasting, brews by the lake, cheap yoga classes, car-free day on Valencia Street, and the 90th anniversary of Trader Vic's.
Have a good one!
