From 3 to 6pm, step inside the Lower Haight’s most exclusive venue for a potluck-style housewarming — bring a hot dish if you’re able. We got a glimpse inside yesterday, and things are looking good!
Phew!
We think that’s everything, but we could be wrong. If you know of any events or discounts we missed, let us know.
Otherwise, we’ll see you tomorrow!
