How to enjoy Super Bowl Sunday if you don't watch football
The upside of not being a big football fan on Super Bowl Sunday is that you get to enjoy activities, events and places that might otherwise be crowded.
The latest: Here are a few to check out if you're not in the mood to take part in this de-facto holiday.
🎥 Go see a movie at the Roxie Theater for SF Indie Fest: There are five options to choose from on Sunday that are being featured as part of the city's annual independent film festival, including a surreal dark comedy, neo-noir debut and creepy pregnancy-themed horror flick.
🥾 Go on a hike in Muir Woods: Spend time outdoors surrounded by majestic redwoods at one of the Bay Area's most popular nature landmarks that's likely to be far less busy than usual. Reservations are required. Book yours here.
🎼 Listen to classical music at the Herbst Theatre: The SF Civic Music Association is hosting a free concert showcasing some of Beethoven's most-revered classics. From 3-5pm.
💃 Take a salsa class: No experience is required for this beginner-friendly dance lesson. Entry costs $71. From 3-4:30pm at 414 Mason St.
🍽️ Dine at a restaurant with typically long wait times: This is your chance to try for a walk-in table at your favorite place that's always exceptionally busy. Some places to consider include Hook Fish Co., San Ho Wan, Buena Vista Cafe or Four Kings.
🛒 Go to Costco: Anyone who's braved this gem of a shopping destination on a Sunday knows it's not an experience that's for the faint of heart. Lucky for you, Super Bowl Sunday is one of the few occasions where that doesn't necessarily apply. Located at 450 10th St.
