Let's do lunch:
What's more civilized than a lunch of pasta with wine? Put down that burger, says SF Weekly restaurant critic Meredith Brody, and seek out the tagliolini pepati (smoked bacon, garlic, jalapeño, arugula, and roasted tomato sauce) at Aperto (1434 18th St. at Connecticut, 252-1625).
Drink therapy:
Chill on the cheap, golden-age-of-jazz-style: $5 well drinks and house wines, and $3 draft beers and sparkling wines at 1300 on Fillmore (1300 Fillmore at Eddy, 771-7100), 4:30-6:30 p.m.
Lucky 13 (2140 Market at 15th St., 487-1313): Inked bartenders, swivelly barstools, backyard beer garden, and an overall respectably divey vibe. Only thing that could possibly make it better? $2.50 happy-hour pints.
