The sun is shining, Survivor is back, and we finally got around to replacing our broken vacuum. So, things are looking up. And if you’re looking for even more fun plans to get into this week, we have some ideas. From a pop-up with grilled fish sandwiches and wine to a new smashburger concept in North Beach, here are 7 new things to check out (and eat) this week.

Lucy’s Table at Lily

Every fourth Tuesday of the month, Lily (one of our favorite new restaurants) will host communal, family-style dinners spearheaded by co-owner Lucy Lieu. For $80, you get four courses of Vietnamese dishes like crispy rice with caramel chicken, shrimp-stuffed tofu, and more, plus an optional beverage pairing for an additional $36. Reserve your spot for the September 28th edition here.

Pandanmonium

If you need more pandan in your life (who doesn’t?), swing by District Six in SoMa on Sunday, September 26th for “Pandanmonium.” From 12-5pm, the food truck park will host a bunch of food businesses serving every green dessert imaginable, from pandan ice cream sandwiches to puddings and donuts.
