Let them eat mooncakes!

We may be in the middle of a late-Summer heat wave, but this weekend marks the Mid-Autumn Festival in Chinese and other East/Southeast Asian cultures. Also known as the “Moon” or “Mooncake” Festival, it dates back over 3,000 years and features lanterns of all shapes and sizes and tasty mooncake pastries.

Looking to impress your friends and family during the Mid-Autumn Festival? Thrillist put together a list of the best places to find mooncakes in San Francisco. Let us know your favorites!

Labor Day Gratitude

On Monday, when we’re all relaxing by the grill, enjoying a cool beverage, and waiting for our burgers to be done (or well done, as the case may be), let’s take a moment to honor the hard work we put in all year round to keep our world moving.

Be Thankful. Live Simply. Be Kind.

We found this sign hanging in the bathroom of a coffee shop we visited recently in Denver. It was a good reminder to pay attention to the most important things in life and ignore the noisy world surrounding us.

Happy International Beer Day!

It’s the first Friday in August, which means it’s International Beer Day! Time to pour a pint of your favorite craft brew and celebrate the end of another week of the Dog Days of Summer.

The Bay Area is home to one of the most vibrant and creative craft brew scenes in the world, and there’s no shortage of taprooms and breweries within a quick road trip of wherever you live.

Here’s a list of local favorites from the SF Chronicle. It’s a little light on the South Bay, so if you need some tips, just ask the Geek!

What are friends for?

The United Nations designated July 30 as the International Day of Friendship in order to promote and encourage peace, happiness, and unity. We hope you’ll use this opportunity to thank the close friends who make your lives better every day.
