The Tents of the 1%
Breathing room comes at a premium around here. If you need some, your best bets are a weekend of camping or a move to Daly City. Kidding. Don’t move to DC. Instead: camp with SF’s Lotus Belle and their colossal Outback tents, now shipping.
A Winery in a Submarine
Bucolic. Kitschy. Both appropriate descriptors for your standard tasting room. Nuclear submarine? Now that’s atypical. Meet Sottomarino, Treasure Island’s new showcase of Italian varietals, pouring now in a decommissioned Naval training facility.

Marilyn Monroe departed this mortal plane 52 years ago. But damned if she doesn’t still photograph well. Proof: the never-before-seen Marilyn Monroe candids on display at MARILYN: The Lost Photographs of a Hollywood Star, now open.
