The Week Intro is like a bible for having fun on the cheap in the city. So it seemed like a natural fit to get the site’s mastermind, Lea Troeh, to mastermind a few dates for us.

1. South of Chavez

The date: How about we… get some Vitamin D south of Chavez: Volunteer at Alemany Farm, then relax with a beverage in Wild Side West’s backyard.

Why it’s great: There’s only a brief window when outdoor drinking is pleasant. Take advantage!

2. Dates on Wheels


The date: How about we … pedal north on Polk for unique views: Bike to the Wave Organ, grab snacks at Greens to Go (10% discount with SF Bike Coalition membership), smell the roses at Fort Mason Community Garden, then grab the sunset from the Art Institute’s roof deck.

Why it’s great: Fort Mason has some of the best views in the city. And biking across town makes for a fab date.

5. Farm Fresh to Gough

The date: How about we… go up Gough: volunteer at The Free Farm (Gough/Eddy, workdays Wed and Sat 10-2, free vegan lunch!), then attend one of the unique events at 100 Days of Spring!
