It's that time of year again folks: This Saturday, May 10, marks the 15th Annual KFOG KaBoom! Get ready to wait in long lines, drink tons of beer out of plastic cups, listen to music, and (if you're still cognizant by the time the sun goes down) watch a huge fireworks display synchronized to loud rock 'n' roll. What could possibly be better on a Saturday?
Well, if you prefer your booze in a glass and your munchies a little more upscale (no offense hot dogs, I still love you), then you'll want to check out Waterbar Restaurant's KaBoom party. For $65 a pop, you can chow down on a ton of hors d' oeuvres and partake from a full cash bar while watching the festivities from the chic comfort of Waterbar's digs. Billed as the best spot in town for the fireworks, the party runs from 7 to 10 p.m. and the menu includes oysters on the half shell, prawn cocktail, pizza, gougere sandwiches, artichoke crab crostini (told you it was upscale), risotto fritters, salt cod fritters, gravlax, ceviches, tartare, and mini-meatballs.
