Merry Cheapmas, San Francisco!
San Francisco pretty much empties out except for tourists around Christmas. (Parking is never easier all year than it is in my neighborhood the week before New Years)
But for those of us left to hold down the city there’s fortunately still plenty to do and plenty of deals to be had.
Here’s our picks for our favorite deals and events on Christmas Day 2010. Have a merry one!
And if you have an event to add or a deal we missed, please leave a comment below and let us know!
