"As of 4:31 Tuesday morning, power has been fully restored to all customers impacted by Saturday's substation outage in San Francisco," the utility wrote. "Crews completed the necessary electrical connections to safely restore service to the remaining 3,800 customers who were without power. The root cause of the outage remains under investigation." Only 231 customers had no electricity as of Tuesday at 9:32 a.m., and the utility's outage map was free of red.

The small artworks are the calling cards of San Francisco artist DraINvader, who's on a mission to cover sewer drain holes with something worth noticing. "The idea is, every piece solves a real problem while adding something beautiful," he said. For the past several months, DraINvader has been steadily installing his pieces on city sidewalks. Each customized square plate features a 3-D printed image, such as a butterfly, a Day of the Dead skull or Star Wars' R2-D2.

There is a place in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park that is heaven for Bay Area inline skaters and roller skaters who like to boogie to the funky beat on wheels. The Godfather of Skate brings his mobile DJ unit and plays groovy tunes for you to skate to. On most Sundays, there's usually someone willing to teach you a few choreographed roller disco dance moves.

From the onset, this Indian-Nepali restaurant on the border of Union Square and FiDi blends in with all of the other nearby utility spots where office goers grab takeout or tourists make pitstops along a sightseeing route, but Trisara is more special than that. The menu leans heavily Indian -dals, biryanis, and tandoori-with a few Nepali dishes like momos, goat curry, and chow mein thrown in, and the portions suggest the people working here are genuinely invested in overfeeding you.

You'll see a killer comedy show with a handpicked lineup of 4-5 comics who normally perform at SF Sketchfest, Cobb's Comedy Club, Punchline and Thrive City. Plus Moe Greens has a state of the art ventilation system, rolling trays that you can borrow, super red velvet wallpaper, comfy leather booths for you to sink into and daily specials. We're doing this special cannabis lounge comedy takeover. Make sure you check the joint out before the takeover goes up in smoke.

City officials say they want the float to be a marketing tool for the city. Once completed, it will feature some of San Francisco's most iconic landmarks.

This Christmas and Hanukkah season, SF's December nights are once again razzle-dazzled up by the sixth year of the rebooted annual San Francisco Fire Station Community Holiday Decorations Competition. The contest is an old SF tradition from the late 1940s and early 1950s that returned in 2020 during the COVID doldrums, and this year the fire stations are competing for $4,000 in prize money for the winning stations' charities of choice.

Holiday plans abound with San Francisco at its merriest. Grab holiday cocktails at the St. Regis or afternoon tea at the Beacon Grand, then take in the sparkly lights at Pier 39 and City Hall, and dip into holiday shows all around town. For some non-denominational fun, discover new treats at Nick's Cove, Equal Parts, and Outerlands. Jump ahead to this week's top events:

Third Thursdays on Ellis, or just "On Ellis," launched first as a pre-Portola block party in September, and the events in October and November, featuring electro DJs Wax Motif and Joel Corry have been pretty lit, as the kids say, with thousands in attendance. The event happens outside the historic John's Grill, and it seems to have caught on with a younger party crowd in a much bigger way than the similar Fridays on Front Street, likely because of the music acts who have been booked and the more rave-y atmosphere.

The incident happened outside the bar 440, at 440 Castro Street, around 11:40 pm on Wednesday, December 10. Dog dad Parker Brumfield says that his five-year-old French bulldog Hank was stolen while in the care of "one of his parents," so possibly not in the care of Brumfield himself. A suspect reportedly picked the dog up from the sidewalk while the caretaker was distracted and fled into a waiting car.
