Dining and Drinking
Piers Addleson’s Pea House is offering an off-menu special for single men. In order to get the multi-course meal, for the astoundingly low price of seven dollars, simply approach the hostess and say, “I’m so lonely, I could die.”
The meal, an homage to the happy-go-lucky bachelor lifestyle, features Top Ramen (your choice of chicken, shrimp, or beef flavored broth), a gourmet bologna sandwich on artisan white bread with homemade miso mayonnaise and Dijon mustard, Fritos on the side, and for dessert, an assortment of Brach’s candies. The meal also includes two choices of drinks: a PBR and Seagrams boilermaker or Red Beer (V8 and Bud Light).
For the ladies, we recommend the bar at TGI Friday’s. Because the restaurant will be packed with happy couples, the bar will be abnormally open. Discounts for a variety of complicated fruit-based rum drinks will be extended.
For ladies looking to get their groove back, San Narciso’s only openly gay club, The Crank Shaft, is hosting Ladies’ Night. You might not meet the man of your dreams, but you’ll be surrounded by handsome trendsetters who don’t want you for your body.
