Alcademics

For my latest story in San Francisco Magazine, I wrote about three drinking itineraries in the East Bay. The five-page story is called The New Beverage Belt and it involves three tours:

• Cocktail bars in Uptown Oakland, including the just-opened Hello Stranger and forthcoming Here's How. 
• Tasting Rooms of Alameda, with seven stops including the Hangar One and St. George Spirits distilleries.
• Day Drinking in Jack London Square, which was 100% an excuse to write about Heinold's First and Last Chance Saloon - and happily they took the photos of the bar to accompany the story. 

I did a lot of drinking as research for the story, so out of respect for my liver go out and pick up a copy of the magazine or read it online!
