"As much as your friend thinks that all the jobs out here are in Silicon Valley, it’s mostly houses, and odds are, they’ll end up working close to the FiDi/SoMa instead. Set the stage and have them meet you there after work one day, so they can see where they’ll actually be spending their time. Novela makes nice cocktails based on literary characters, and gets crowded after work with people wearing company-branded vests with matching backpacks. Go network and show them that they could meet people whose cousin’s boyfriend’s sister’s best friend is your mom’s book club organizer’s kid. It’s a small world, and look, they’re already making connections in SF. If they like the idea of checking out places close to where they’ll work, show them our FiDi Lunch Guide and our guide to Where To Get A Drink Near Your FiDi/SoMa BART Stop." - will kamensky
