Here’s the move: We’ve coordinated with 5+ local Mission spots who are putting up exclusive perks JUST for this event. Free appetizers. Discounted mains. Secret menu items. One night only. How it works: 1. Meet at Bernal Heights Park and walk down Virginia Ave towards Mission Street 2. Open the Smoov app - see which restaurants have deals 3. Pick your crew, hit your spots in whatever order you want 4. Show the perk on your phone when you pay - boom, discount applied on your tab 5. Roam free, eat well, discover spots you’d never expect to go to No itinerary. No reservations. Just good food and better company to walk into. Want to roll with the hosts? Check live location on the app and catch up. Otherwise, do your own thing - that’s the whole point. We’ve never done this format before, but you all asked for freedom to explore with your people. Let’s see what happens. 🚀 Download the app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/smoov-it/id6749177701 See you there!
Golden Gate Park Daytime Photo Walk
By popular demand, we’re excited to introduce our first daytime photo walk. As always, photographers of all experience levels, ages, and backgrounds are welcome. The only requirement is bringing chill vibes. And if you don't have a camera or don't feel like bringing one, well... that's your life to live. Also, this walk happens to be close to my birthday, meaning I'm one year closer to becoming an actual adult. While I still have the energy, I figured it'd be fun to hang out at the park. Have some drinks. Listen to music. Possibly a picnic? The possibilities are endless. Anyway, more details to come as we get closer to the date.
Past Highlights
Embarcadero Photo Walk
Hey folks, let's run it back for photo walk round 4! A few upcoming changes and announcements: - The route and exact starting location is TBD, but will be posted before the event. - We will meet at 6:00 PM and head out at 6:15 PM. Please do your best to be on time as the walks can be long and many folks have plans after. - DM me to get an invite to our WhatsApp group. For future walks, we'll be sharing our live location so you can find us if you get separated from the group. - I'll be introducing fun challenge or objective for this photo walk to spice things up and encourage a little friendly competition. More details to come. - During the walk, let's look out for each other. If you have any feedback, questions, or concerns, please come find and talk to me. I'm usually at the front of the group.
Crush Wine & Hang Out @ Jax Vineyards
We found a wine bar with impeccable vibes and plan to unwind there after a long week of delivering value to stakeholders. The staff is top-notch, the wines and snacks are excellent, and there’s plenty of space to roam and meet people. We’ll also have access to some perks (including drink discounts), which we fully intend to take advantage of.

Cocktails & Connections @ RM 212
Tucked away right outside the Financial District, RM 212 is a craft cocktail speakeasy lounge run by two NY brothers bringing hospitality to the Bay. Think prohibition-era vibes fused with modern mixology served late night. The vibe: Intimate space, great cocktails, easy conversation. No pretension, just good drinks and good people.

Castro Photo Walk
Back by popular demand, we're doing another photo walk in the city. This time we'll be exploring Castro where neon signs, colorful storefronts, and lively street energy create a cinematic atmosphere that makes every corner feel like its own vibrant scene. At least that's what ChatGPT says and I couldn't come up with a better description so let's go with that. Bring good vibes and something to take pictures with! Just like the first photo walk, there's no set route or plan. We're going to roam around wherever looks interesting, snap some photos, and get food and drinks after. This event welcomes folks of all ages and is not exclusive to Millennials/Gen Z.
Beat the Monday Blues @ Emmy's Spaghetti
Most Mondays suck. This one won't. We're taking over Emmy's Spaghetti Shack patio for a standing reception—drinks, vibes, and their legendary cheesy bread. Buy any drink ($10+), get the cheesy bread free. The vibe: You just survived another Monday. You're tired, hungry, and done with small talk. So, grab a drink, eat absurd amounts of carbs, talk to whoever's next to you. After the structured hour, stick around to figure out where to go next with your new friends—maybe hit a bar nearby, grab actual dinner, just keep the vibe going based on what the group's craving and see what happens. WHAT YOU'RE GETTING: 🍞 Free $15 cheesy bread when you buy any drink ($10 minimum) 🌙 Standing reception on Emmy's patio 👥 Capped at ~25 people—intimate energy, Mission vibe, no chaos FORMAT: 6:50 PM+: Check-in via text +1-855-955-5001 when you arrive 7-8 PM: 8-minute conversations (we pair you with 6-7 people via the Gist app) 8 PM+: Hang with whoever you vibed with, or head out Monday, December 1, 7-9 PM.
