SF Dates on the Cheap...Without Feeling Cheap

Jun 15, 2012 —  Newsflash: San Francisco is expensive.
Equally Obvious Newsflash: San Francisco’s initials are S-F.
 
The notion that the lovely City by the Bay ain’t easy on the pocketbook is hardly an earth-shattering idea. No matter the subject – rent, food, gas, biodegradable sex toys – everything tends to pummel the national average when it comes to the price tag.
 
Sure, you probably don’t have to drive everyday given the city’s compact size, but when you do, good luck figuring out all the parking regulation signs: Street cleaning 12:03 am to 6:37 am, holidays excluded, parades included, blackout dates below, M–W unless noted, 10:22 am to half past the full moon of Endor’s daylight savings…
 
No wonder locals budget several hundred dollars a year for parking tickets.
 
But does that mean you just give up? Curl into a ball with your pint of balsamic strawberry from Bi-Rite and catch up on Planet Earth reruns? Not tonight! Because we’ve got a list of some fun date options from San Francisco parks to SF bars and unique neighborhood landmarks, and none will commit hara-kiri on the credit card.
 
You know you’ve been trying to come up with an excuse to ask out that girl from work or the cute boy from softball since you first laid eyes on them.
