  • 2012 | Best Place to See Ruth Asawa's Art for Free

    In November of 2006, not long after reopening in its newly designed building, the de Young Museum organized what it called the first complete retrospective of Ruth Asawa's career. It was a perfect match of equals -- a San Francisco institution (the de Young) reborn in a world-class structure, and another San Francisco institution (Asawa) reconsidered in her 80th year. It's easy to take Asawa for granted, but there's still no one quite like her. Her life-size wire sculptures stop you in... More »

    Treat your newest flame(s) to Friday nights at the de Young. You'll get free music, a cash bar, and plenty of opportunities to show what a serious and thoughtful person you are before trying to get into his/her/their pants. Observe! Let's say you begin in the Haight and stroll over to the museum while sharing your delicately positioned likes and dislikes. You marvel aloud at how much you have in common with him/her/them. (Yes, I agree that Fail Dogs is the new LOLcats. OMG, soulmate!). Then... More »

  • 2006 | Best Free View

    Treat your newest flame(s) to Friday nights at the de Young. You'll get free music, a cash bar, and plenty of opportunities to show what a serious and thoughtful person you are before trying to get into his/her/their pants. Observe! Let's say you begin in the Haight and stroll over to the museum while sharing your delicately positioned likes and dislikes. You marvel aloud at how much you have in common with him/her/them. (Yes, I agree that Fail Dogs is the new LOLcats. OMG, soulmate!). Then after downing some gin while listening to whatever live band is playing — oh, you love Latin jazz, too? OMG! — you take an excursion up the museum's fabled tower, where you attempt to demonstrate your mastery of all things San Francisco by correctly identifying the structures that only local pedants would recognize. If you can't score after all that, then there's just no help for you.
