TGSF - End of Month Get-Together - In Person

Fri, Sep 25, 2:00 AM

From TGSF - Transgender San Francisco

4.8

**Welcome** *ALL* trans, non-binary, gnc (Gender non-conforming), intersex, people sincerely questioning a transgender path, other friendly queers, and allies! TGSF gets together in person, at least once a month, generally on the last Thursday of the month. **Our "NEW VENUE"!** We will meet at **Taqueria San Jose,** which is the name of our old venue, but they moved across the street! So, same time, same name, but now at 2839 Mission St, across Mission Street, from Taqueria Los Altos. - Sorry for any confusion. It's good to buy food here to support them, but **food is optional**. (Meat will undoubtedly be eaten by someone at the restaurant. If you'd like to help organize vegan, or non-food events, please contact TGSF via *TGSF.org@proton.me* !) TGSF usually has an in-person End of Month dinner/gathering on the **last Thursday of each month**, except: * **March**, we attend **TDoV** (Transgender Day of Visibility) - [http://TDoV.org/](http://TDoV.org/) * **June**, we attend **Trans March** - [http://TransMarch.org/](http://TransMarch.org/) \- You really must experience this event\! * **November 20**, we attend **TDoR** (Transgender Day of Remembrance) - [http://TDoRSF.org/](http://TDoRSF.org/) * **December**, we'll meet before the traditional winter holidays – **Details to be announced.** * (If another trans/gnc-related event is important to support, it will be substituted for that month's gathering.) We try to keep the Meetup [http://www.meetup.com/TGSF-Transgender-San-Francisco/](http://www.meetup.com/TGSF-Transgender-San-Francisco/) up to date. But **we need volunteers to do Social Media!** Our Facebook and other Social Media haven't been updated in years. (Yes, **the website, TGSF.org, is still dead**. Eden hopes to have some ideas on how to fix it "soon".) ***Volunteers are always needed!*** We need people to: organize gatherings; to answer the phone messages and emails; for outreach to organizations and media; to organize and carry-out "mutual aid"; etc. Please do NOT use the Meetup, Facebook, or other sites to contact TGSF! Those methods may not be checked for months at a time. *The best (only realistic) way to contact us is through email: temporarily tgsf.org@proton.me .*

[Dinner] Trestle (Table for Six) 2026 Picnic Volunteers Have Priority

Sat, Sep 26, 12:30 AM

From San Francisco Foodies

4.8

**Trestle** A *Bib Gourmand* recipient for their innovative, affordable and delicious dining experience. Most reviews seem to mention their price point first, probably because that is astonishing for their continued pursuit of excellence. Trestle offers a three course prix fixe menu for $52. see [Trestle Menu](https://www.trestlesf.com/menu) for an example, menu changes every day. *This event has priority seating for people who volunteered at our Very San Francisco Summer Picnic. Regular event registration will start four days before.* **Menus and Reviews** [Trestle](https://www.trestlesf.com/) [Trestle (yelp!)](https://www.yelp.com/biz/trestle-san-francisco-5) [Trestle (Michelin)](https://guide.michelin.com/en/california/san-francisco/restaurant/trestle) **Administrative Trivia** Dinner pricing is listed as about $52 per person, alcoholic drinks can easily increase this average. *Dress is business casual.* Each diner is responsible for their own orders and costs but we will have to consolidate and divvy up the final bill accordingly. **Taxes and Fees** Dining in San Francisco has a sales tax (8.625%) and possibly an employee health mandate, a tip may be automatically added because of the size of our party, even on individual bills. **Parking and Transportation** *Trestle* is by the corner of *Jackson and Columbus* in San Francisco’s North Beach district. There is a parking garage directly next door on *Jackson St* (Closes at 11PM), one across the street on *Columbus* (Closes at Midnight), and parking at the *Hilton* on *Washington* is a 24 hour option. We are located nearest *Powell Street and Montgomery Street BART and SF Muni Light Rail stations, and Powell Street and California Street* cable cars. Bus stops are located nearby at *Mission Street, Howard Street, Third Street, and Second Street*.
