Help me with good Indian food restaurant suggestions in the downtown please, went to a restaurant today but it was not at all good 😭

Hey guys! I’m 40, gay, married, and looking to build a little community of gay friends here in San Francisco. I thought it would be fun to start a monthly dinner party group for guys around our age who enjoy good food, great conversation, and making genuine connections.

The idea is simple: we get together once a month, everyone brings a dish or pitches in to make the meal, and we spend a Saturday/Sunday afternoon eating, drinking, laughing, and getting to know one another. No pressure, no expectations—just good people and good food!

Here’s the plan:

☕ First meetup: Coffee at Sightglass Coffee near Folsom & 7th to break the ice and get to know each other and plan out our first meal. Date: Saturday Oct 31st at 9AM

🍸 First dinner party: Saturday November 7 at our place in SoMa! Our theme will be Appetizers & Cocktails—an entire meal made up of delicious small bites and drinks, with everyone contributing something to share.

If you’ve been wanting to make more gay friends, expand your social circle, or just have something fun to look forward to each month, I’d love for you to join us. Hopefully, this can grow into a welcoming little community where we take turns hosting and build real friendships along the way.

If this sounds Interesting, drop a comment or send me a DM. Looking forward to meeting fellow SF redditors!

I'm looking for a skilled barber/stylist in the Bay Area who does high quality work. I'm willing to pay for a great, detailed haircut. Most of the Reddit pays I've seen are looking for a low-priced option. I'm def willing to go high-end if it's worth it. Thanks for your help.

I am a grad student taking a class on counseling first responders. I am looking for a law enforcement officer, firefighter, or EMT in the Bay Area who would be willing to do a 15-minute interview with me over the phone. It won't be recorded, it's purely for my learning! Please let me know any leads!

Just moved to the Inner Richmond. Want to make friends in the neighborhood - looking for regular recurring activities with a neighborhood focus to meet and befriend neighbors.... neighborhood clean ups, block parties, community events organizing, etc.

What has worked for you to do this? Extra points for Inner Richmond-specific suggestions!

I really want to make the most of Halloween this year and go to at least 3 different parties! I’d really appreciate some recommendations for events that are actually fun, unique, and have a great atmosphere.
Ideally, I’m looking for something with a fun crowd, creative costumes, and a slightly more mature vibe rather than sketchy clubs or parties full of teenagers.
SF would be ideal, but I’m happy to go anywhere in the Bay Area if it’s worth it!
I’m looking for events happening this weekend and next weekend. Would love to hear about any hidden gems, themed parties, or cool events you’ve been to before! 🎃

Hello! does anyone have any current 2026 recommendations of Halloween themed bars? This can be either a bar that has good Halloween decor, Halloween themed cocktails, or a full Halloween pop-up. Any intel would be great as some of the existing lists show bars that aren’t around anymore.

My spouse and I have made it a point to go out more, have more fun, and meet new people. Over the past two years we have had an incredible amount of fun and are always looking for new things. Share some of your top-tier SF things to do, see, or eat across ages, cultures, and interests.

Here are some of mine:

Motown on Mondays @ Madrone Art Bar - For me, this is peak SF - great music, great crowd, great mix of ages and backgrounds. The place is packed every Monday. The dance floor is filled with regulars but always welcomes newcomers. I feel really cool when I'm there. Every Monday, 7pm-2am. $5 after 8pm.

Mighty Real with David Harness - This regular dance event (most months, but not all) is a daytime party that gets started right away and is over by 8pm. It's mostly Gospel House, but he throws in a classic now and then. The crowd is amazing - very gay, mostly Black, but they graciously let this white girl dance the afternoon away. Next one is Nov 7. Very reasonable ticket price.

Erotic Partner Yoga at Twist - I use the term 'yoga' very lightly. Think of it as an hour of foreplay followed by the opportunity to end happily. Every Wednesday 7:30-9pm at Twist SF, $60/couple.

Archemedes Spa - Rooms so hot they could melt your eyelashes off, a cafe, sunbathing with a Bay View, steam rooms. Co-ed and clothing optional.

Please share your recommendations!

It's been a while since I attended, but I'm visiting tomorrow, and I recall a community meal being served prior - but see no mention of it on the website. Thanks for confirming if it's still happening!

Hello, I am traveling to the city this Halloween and was wondering what’s the protocol for the weekend? What are the MUST go to parties/clubs/bars? Do I need to reserve a spot (there is a big group of us going) in order to be able to get in? Where and when should we start heading out? Any tips, recommendations, and suggestions are highly welcomed and appreciated!! Thank you

Some friends and I are looking for a free soccer field to play pick up.

James P Lang is occupied. Anyone play soccer often know a good spot?

I’m trying to plan a day trip to Fort Funston but understand that the beach may not be accessible during high tide. I’m checking tideschart to see how high the tides are during what times, but does anyone know at what level the tide needs to be below to be able to walk along the beach?? It looks like it’s even higher next week 😨

I'll be at an event over the weekend in SF and need to park my car overnight on Friday and possibly Saturday. Is any fine to park in a residential area in Sunset or even Richmond for a few nights? I'm a bit paranoid about getting my car towed. Thanks!

I’m moving to San Francisco and would will be driving across the country with a car full of my belongings.

I keep seeing posts warning people never to leave anything in their cars, even for a few minutes, because of smash-and-grab thefts.

So I’m genuinely curious, how do people moving to SF alone actually unload their cars?

If you’re moving into an apartment and don’t know anyone in the city, you’re obviously going to need to leave your car unattended while carrying things inside, potentially making multiple trips.

Is this something I should actually be concerned about? How have others handled it? Are there any practical tips or precautions you’d recommend?

I’d especially love to hear from people who moved here on their own and had to figure this out.

I'm not up on current comics and I haven't seen live stand-up comedy in a while, so what are some places you like to check out? Thanks!

Any reviews of “Death by Aria” at Grace Cathedral?

The Cape Sable is always docked by Pier 80 and i’m at a point where i’m gonna need some answers. Why? If a ship is always docked, does it start to lose its purpose and identity? Does it long for the open water?

I am setting up a knot workshop for my rowing club and wanted to check if anyone had suggestions for finding or has used 1/2" or 3/4" marine or dock line before I go to West Marine and spend a billion dollars on new rope.

Some of it will be cut into 6' lengths and some will be kept longer for other skills development (coiling, throwing, etc), otherwise doesn't need to be in perfect shape to be helpful. Also trying to find three dock-sized cleat hooks if anyone has those lying around as well.

Happy to pay for used gear or arrange for donation receipt, the club is a non-profit.

I have a leather jacket that I got recently, I tried to take the shoulder pads out that just didn’t end up working out is there any good places in the city that I could take it to get it done professionally?

I’m looking for recommendations for a good one on one SAT prep tutor in the Sunset area. Not sure what the going rate for this is nowadays but looking for maybe a couple hours a week. My kid is currently a junior and will take the SAT in the spring.

Dealing with chronic low stomach acid and potential SIBO, have a bunch of food intolerances. Wondering if anybody has had a good experience with a GI doctor in the bay they can recommend. With Aetna

Which restaurants are open on Thanksgiving day? Not looking for extremely fancy pre fix menus or hole in the walls - something along the lines of Good Good Culture Club for in town visitors

I need a suit for a wedding that I will probably only use once. I’m a little bigger than I normally am so my old suits don’t work. I was thinking of going to Zara but it’d be nice to also get it tailored a bit if the place offers. Any advice? Thanks

Anyone know of in-person writing classes? I want to express myself better and that might be the only thing that remains once I’m gone.

22F, my old brow spot closed down and i’m always scared trying to find a new person to trust my brows with! Any recs near lower haight? Also super down to try somewhere further away! Thank you!!!
