"It’s the moment you’ve been dreading: third-tier friends are re-entering the chat. So you’re going to want to pick a spot that’ll take some pressure off of having to make substantive conversation with, say, an old college roommate who keeps texting, “Let’s catch up.” That’s where Zeitgeist comes in. Every Saturday at 6pm, the Mission beer garden has a stand-up comedy show (tickets are here and $25 each), giving you both a) something to talk about and b) less net time spent conversing about things like “the good old days.” Order a beer and a burger or grilled cheese and enjoy it all in one of Zeitgeist’s partitioned outdoor booths." - julia chen 1
