TGSF - End of Month Get-Together - In Person

Fri, Oct 30, 2:00 AM

From San Francisco Foodies

**Welcome** *ALL* trans, non-binary, gnc (Gender non-confirming), intersex, people sincerely questioning a transgender path, other friendly queers, and allies! TGSF gets together in person, at least once a month, generally on the last Thursday of the month. This is our **HALLOWEEN** meeting. Feel free to wear anything that makes you feel good (please be sure it's legal :) This is our monthly **in person** event! When we get together, feel free to continue to wear masks, and if that’s part of the rules at the time, then we’ll all wear them! **Our "NEW VENUE"!** We will meet at **Taqueria San Jose,** which is the name of our old venue, but they moved across the street! So, same time, same name, but now at 2839 Mission St, across Mission Street, from Taqueria Los Altos. - Sorry for any confusion. It's good to buy food here to support them, but **food is optional**. (Meat will undoubtedly be eaten by someone at the restaurant. If you'd like to help organize vegan, or non-food events, please contact TGSF via \*[TGSF.org@proton.me*](http://TGSF.org@proton.me*) !) TGSF usually has an End of Month dinner/gathering on the **last Thursday of each month**, except: * **March**, we attend **TDoV** (Transgender Day of Visibility) - [http://TDoV.org/](http://TDoV.org/) * **June**, we attend **Trans March** - [http://TransMarch.org/](http://TransMarch.org/) \- You really must experience this event\! * **November 20**, we attend **TDoR** (Transgender Day of Remembrance) - [http://TDoRSF.org/](http://TDoRSF.org/) * **December**, we'll meet before the traditional winter holidays – **Details to be announced.** * (If another trans/gnc-related event is important to support, it will be substituted for that month's gathering.) We try to keep the Meetup [http://www.meetup.com/TGSF-Transgender-San-Francisco/](http://www.meetup.com/TGSF-Transgender-San-Francisco/) , but **we need volunteers to do Social Media!** Our Facebook and other Social Media haven't been updated in years. (Yes, **the website, TGSF.org, is still dead**. Eden hopes to have some ideas on how to fix it "soon".) ***Volunteers are always needed!*** We need people to: organize gatherings; to answer the phone messages and emails; for outreach to organizations and media; to organize and carry-out "mutual aid"; etc. Please do NOT use the Meetup, Facebook, or other sites to contact TGSF! Those methods may not be checked for months at a time, if ever. *The best (only realistic) way to contact us is through email, info@TGSF.org .*

[Festival & Lunch] Fleet Week Airshow and Lunch at Pier 23 (table for six)

Sat, Oct 10, 7:00 PM

From San Francisco Foodies

**Pier 23 Cafe** *"It's always been here"* for me *Pier 23* is a classic where I enjoy soaking in the sunshine during our *San Francisco Summer,* eating fresh seafood and trying their other new and San Francisco classic dishes. Our office in *Levi Plaza* would come here for team lunch, and I would often catch an early dinner before walking home to Pac Heights. Their fish and chips is a huge portion and always good, as are their fish tacos and hamburger. they also have a signature beer, one of my favorites. *it's low stress, and just fun.* *Pier 23 Cafe* has been featured on *Food TV's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives* and in other television programs. There may be live music, should be airplanes. Come watch the airshow with me, probably leave before the end and walk up to Pier 39 or so. **Minutiae** Weather says "Sunny", so dress casual, bring sunscreen if you need, hat and sunglasses. Air Show is occasionally loud. **History** *Forty years and counting, Pier 23 Cafe Restaurant & Bar is committed to preserving its rich San Francisco history. A destination spot for all those seeking a Classic City experience, we serve delicious food and cocktails right beside our beautiful San Francisco bay. As a family owned and operated small business, we create unique and intimate experiences. Our success is dependent on our relationships and local community. We take pride in our staff and purveyors, and in providing our customers quality product, service, and atmosphere.* from restaurant website Family owned and operated since 1985. **Chef and Owner:** *Flicka McGurrin and Mac Leibert* **Menus and Reviews** [Pier 23 Cafe](https://www.pier23cafe.com/) [Pier 23 Cafe (Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives)](https://www.dinersdriveinsdives.com/Pier-23-Cafe-San-Francisco-CA) **Administratriva** Entree's range from $14-$28. Estimated Cost of food is $35, not including tax and tip. Alcoholic drinks can easily increase this estimate. *Dress is smart casual* **Taxes and Restaurant Fees** Dining in San Francisco has a sales tax (8.625%) and probably an employee health mandate (3-10%), a tip (20%) may be automatically added, even on individual bills, if not we expect a 20% minimum tip to be paid for individual bills. We will try to get separate checks, but remember to bring cash. Each diner is responsible for their own orders and costs but we will have to consolidate and divvy up the final bill accordingly. *Please bring cash or have Zelle or Apple Cash available.* **Transportation to Pier 23** MUNI: F Finding street parking around Fisherman's Wharf and Pier 39 is usually impossible, especially during Fleet Week. Parking garages can be found nearby, but may be full because of Fleet Week. *Use event comments for Car Pooling and Ride Sharing.* *Many thanks for the photos and history from restaurant website* **#EatSanFrancisco #SanFranciscoFoodies #SFFoodies** *We Look Forward to Seeing you at This and Other San Francisco Foodies Events* \-\-\-\-\- cut below this line \-\-\-\-\- as question:
