October 24 at 4:30pm (This weekend)
GLBT Historical Society Museum · Castro District
The Castro's fiercest stories don't make the guidebooks. This monthly walking tour digs into queer resistance: police riots, trans doctors turned away, and the lesbians who ran blood drives during the plague years. Ends with a round at the Lookout.
Oct. 25 & Oct. 29 at 5:30pm
Filbert Street & Hyde Street · Russian Hill
Russian Hill feels like a secret village floating above the city. Stroll past eccentric cottages, hear how Beats and bohemians shaped the streets, and catch views that'll make you stop mid-sentence.
October 25 at 2pm (This weekend)
Noe Valley / Sally Brunn Branch Library · Noe Valley
Wander through Noe Valley's sun-drenched streets and discover the working-class roots behind its charming Victorian facades. Your guide uncovers how this "Village within a City" earned its nickname and which buildings cheated the 1906 Earthquake & Fire.
October 25 at 6pm (This weekend)
Presidio Officers' Club · Presidio of San Francisco
Watch a former Army post spill its secrets. This free guided walk traces the Presidio's journey from military base to national park, winding through centuries of history to the scenic Tunnel Tops.
Every day at 11:30am from Feb. 19 to Feb. 17
Ninth Street Independent Film Center · West SoMa
Turn your phone into a treasure map for a self-guided picnic hunt through Haight-Ashbury and The Mission. Solve riddles to unlock artisan cheese, meats, and treats from local producers, then follow the final clue to a secret outdoor spot for your spread.
October 25 at 11am (This weekend)
Tennessee Street & 19th Street · Dogpatch
Unravel the mystery of how Dogpatch got its name on this guided stroll through one of SF's favorite historic districts. You'll trace boom-and-bust waves from the Gold Rush to today, mixing old brick bones with shiny new builds.
Browse San Francisco neighborhood by neighborhood, get ideas just for you, or ask me anything.

New Conservatory Theatre Center is worth checking for intimate productions and queer stories. For an evening built around dancing, look at the programme at Madrone Art Bar. Pick the production or music first; the room is only half the decision.
Tell me whether you mean San Francisco itself or the wider Bay Area. Add your neighbourhood, transport, and how long you’re willing to spend getting there. A good event needs to fit the journey home, too.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.
