TGSF - End of Month Get-Together - In Person

Fri, Oct 30, 2:00 AM
From TGSF - Transgender San Francisco
4.8

**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 .*

Dinner at Nopa: Table for 6 ($25 Deposit)

Dinner at Nopa: Table for 6 ($25 Deposit)

Thu, Oct 29, 12:30 AM
From San Francisco Foodies
4.8

(Event description written with the help of AI) **Nopa** is a staple of San Francisco’s dining scene, located on the corner of Divisadero and Hayes Streets in the North of Panhandle neighborhood. Known for pioneered farm-to-table dining and vibrant late-night hospitality, it serves thoughtful Californian-Mediterranean cuisine made with locally sourced, seasonal ingredients. **Chefs & Culinary Ethos** * Chef & Founder: Chef Laurence Jossel co-founded the restaurant in 2006 (along with partners Jeff Hanak and Allyson Jossel) and continues to lead the kitchen. His background includes years at iconic Bay Area kitchens like La Folie, Gary Danko at the Ritz-Carlton, and Kokkari. * Farm-to-Table Focus: Jossel and his culinary team build daily menus around fresh produce picked directly from local Bay Area farmers' markets. * In-House Program: The kitchen emphasizes zero-waste cooking, nose-to-tail whole butchery, and in-house preservation, smoking, and wood-fire techniques. The atmosphere is energetic, social, and warm, making it popular for everything from casual neighborhood gatherings to late-night dinners. The [menus](https://www.nopasf.com/menus) change daily, but include several regular standout dishes: * Nopa Cheeseburger: A San Francisco favorite made from house-ground beef served on a toasted brioche bun with pickled onions, aioli, and hand-cut fries. * Thick-Cut Pork Chop: Consistently praised for being extraordinarily tender and juicy, cooked over live wood fire and paired with seasonal stone fruit or produce. * Ya-ya’s Fried Chicken: The dish features fresh chicken that is buttermilk-brined, Moroccan-spiced, and double-dredged before being fried until extra crispy. **Costs** Small plate starters range from $14-24, and entrees range from $29-45. Food and drinks will be the responsibility of the person(s) who ordered them. No separate checks. Please be prepared to split the check at the event and pay via cash, Venmo, Zelle, or Apple Cash. I will collect the $25 deposit about a week before the event. If you attend the event, the deposit will be deducted from the amount you owe for your meal. Please stay on top of your notifications and messages in Meetup so you don’t miss out on essential communications. **Taxes and Fees** Dining in San Francisco has a sales tax (8.625%). The restaurant charges a mandate of 6% and a mandatory gratuity of 20% for large parties. **Parking and Transportation** Muni 24 to Divisidero & Hayes; 6 to Hayes & Divisidero Limited street parking
