BYOB and plant yourself anywhere along the 2.23 mile track to watch greats like Valentino Rossi (Italy), Jorge Lorenzo (Spain), and Australia's Casey Stoner, who's very sure he's going way faster. Get your tix at a nearby retailer -- list at MazdaRaceway.com Eat: Plant Cafe On Pier 3; Embarcadero; 415.984.0437 Taking up residence right on the water, this airy Embarcadero eatery's done up with vaulted ceilings, luxurious reclaimed wood tables and bar, and decorative hanging plants on the wall. The super-fresh grub ranges from spiced crab cakes w/ paprika aioli, to panini on ciabatta (e.g., mango & lime chicken, grilled eggplant, etc), to cilantro/lemongrass/shitake noodle soup -- order for your date and prepare to be Udon Juan. Check the menu at ThePlantCafe.com Party: Thrillist Loft Sirs, check this out. It's the recap of a Thrillist Loft party we just threw in New York featuring ABSOLUT Vodka, plus flair bartenders, breakdancers, attractive women, and modestly decent looking men. We're rolling the Loft to another Thrillist city -- whichever one receives the most votes from readers like you. To cast your vote for San Francisco, and to get more invites from ABSOLUT ACCESS, hit thrillist.com/ thrillistweek, and show those other burgs you're not to be trifled with. Gear: Acrimony Sale 515 Gough St, btwn Fulton and Grove; Hayes Valley; 415.861.1025 Up to 70% off complete lines o' current season stuff: minimally slick trousers n' jackets in grayscale by Endovanera, military-ish prepster wear by Nom de Guerre, Wood Wood's loose-fitting threads for lounging about, and slim cut button downs by Fear Factor winner Hyden Yoo, who after milking a smelly goat using only his mouth, inexplicably's failed to launch his inevitable drink line: Hyden Yoo-Hoo. The deals extend to their online store, so cop 'em at ShopAcrimony.com Go Some More: Arj Barker July 1-3 at Cobb's Comedy Club; 915 Columbus Ave, btwn Lombard and Chestnut; 415.928.4320 Catch the Marin-born observational comic who stars as the Flight of the Conchords' idiotically lovable friend Dave spouting off about anything from sickly babies having no business on airplanes ("baby doesn't even wanna go on a trip") to how Google's all conceited these days ("Did you mean Vagina? Yeah. Yeah, that's what I meant, Google Images."). Score tix via ArjBarker.com Drink: Vin Club 515 Broadway, btwn Columbus and Kearny; North Beach; 415.277.7228 Valiantly attempting to class up the Broadway strip, a dude from Tomasso's is opening a little wino's haven that boasts a long handmade bar pieced together from old wine boxes in the fore and intimate booth seating in the rear. There's a small selection of charcuterie, crostini, and panini, nine draft/bottled beers (La Chouffe, Duval...), and a Cali/Italian, never-not-rotating wine list anchored by cabs/zins/chards from the proprietor's own VinNostro label, which you can sign up to receive a few times a year, but just when you think you're out, they pull you back in!
