1 EAT, DRINK & WATCH: Celebrate the Super Bowl at home
If you plan to entertain some friends for the big game, here’s Gold Country cookbook author Sonya Keister’s game plan for a perfect party. (Corned beef sliders! Kielbasa-in-blankets!) And don’t forget to throw in some perfect cocktails and mocktails.
2 EAT, DRINK & WATCH: Take it on the road
If the 49ers can’t play the big game at home, why should you? Don’t worry, though, Bay Area pubs and restaurants have a ton of watch parties planned.
3 WATCH: So, what’s on after the Super Bowl?
It’s considered one of the plumb time-slots in all of TV — people always seem willing to see what’s on after the football’s over. In this case, it’s a show that seems to have just the right stuff.
4 SIP & PLAY: It’s SF Beer Week
Anyone who doesn’t believe that a Higher Mind runs the universe will have to explain to us how the Super Bowl and San Francisco Beer Week occur at the same time.
5 SEE & HEAR: Great shows are all over
From Renee Fleming to Hershey Felder to Diablo Ballet and a Lovers’ Lane celebration, there is a lot to see and do in the Bay Area this weekend.
6 WATCH: A comedy close to the heart
When actor, filmmaker and Bay Area native Leah McKendrick decided to have her eggs frozen, little did she realize it would inspire one crazy hit movie.
7 PLAY: Great games to cue up
With all the TV football going on, you need a somewhat more physically challenging pursuit to balance out the weekend. That’s right, video games! Here’s what you should be playing this weekend.
