The Question, From the Penthouse
- Start at Mr. A's rooftop bar — twelve floors up, the bay and the Pacific at once. Happy hour, one drink, steady nerves.
- Dinner at Cucina Urbana — pull any bottle off the wine wall at shop price; warm, unhurried, the right room for the moment.
- Close at Parc with a French nightcap — coq au vin country, intimate and confident, where the night settles into something said.

The Tuesday You Made a Night Of
- Walk 16th at dusk past East Village's warehouse murals, drink in hand — the most street art downtown, eight blocks of it.
- Dinner at Cowboy Star, the butcher-driven steakhouse — warm, low-lit, less scene than the Gaslamp houses.
- Find the password into Realm of the 52 Remedies — a speakeasy under the neighborhood, pre-Prohibition drinks and real surprise.
