How to Celebrate SF Pride 2025 Like a Local
Although San Francisco's Pride Celebration is technically Saturday, June 28, through Sunday, June 29, everyone knows it's truly a monthlong observance. This year's theme is Queer Joy is Resistance, and June is filled with events for everyone, such as the new immersive play The Compton's Cafeteria Riot at the Tenderloin Museum. Here at Eater SF, we've rounded up a number of dinners and events to attend for the month of June. While Pride Month has (rightfully) earned a reputation for becoming a pink-washed, corporatized slog, we're leaning into events centering queer artists, donating to LGBTQ organizations, or with some standout element in force. And while we should be supporting LGBTQ-owned businesses year-round, if you want to get dollars directly into the community this month, Do the Bay has an excellent guide to queer-owned restaurants, bars, and more, here. Here's where to eat during Pride Mission bar Teeth hosts two events this month, with a Pride edition of Sungay Brunch on Sunday, June 8 (and, notably, it's their last event of the season). Teeth will also host Beats & Eats on Sunday, June 22, with a roster of DJs spinning from noon to 8 p.m. and extended brunch hours. On Saturday, June 14, patio bar Terrene at 1 Hotel San Francisco hosts a drag queen brunch, and the purchase of a ticket includes performances by Lady Camden and Tila Pia, among others, and a sprawling brunch buffet. Over at Flour + Water and Penny Roma, the two restaurants brought back their rainbow taleggio scarpinocc dish, with $2 from each sale going toward LYRIC, which creates community and support for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning youth and their families. Not to be outdone at the pizza shop, Flour + Water Pizzeria in North Beach will feature what they're calling the LGBTQIA pizza — (L)eeks, (G)arlic, (B)acon, sundried (T)omato, (Q)uadrello di Buffalo, (I)talian parsley, and (A)rugula, if you're wondering — with $5 from each pie going to LYRIC, too. On Saturday, June 28, Mars Bar & Restaurant will host the Queer Women & Trans Brunch from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. with food and drinks, but also music and dancing. Grab a drink at these San Francisco bars Favorite Mission beer patio Zeitgeist hosts their monthly free-to-play drag bingo on Thursday, June 19, hosted by Eucalypstick. El Rio is hosting a number of events, including a party with Out & Abt on Saturday, June 21, starting at 3 p.m. If you want to get sky-high over Union Square, Starlite will have its own Pride drag show on Sunday, June 8, and the $25 ticket includes drag performances, DJ sets, bites from the menu, plus cocktails and Champagne. A special Pride cocktail dubbed the Rosey Cheeks will donate a percentage of sales toward the Horizon Foundation, which supports and invests in LGBTQ nonprofits. Meanwhile, Saluhall in mid-Market is going all out with a month of Pride programming. A pop-up gallery by Good Mother Studios will showcase queer artists throughout June, with Thursday events to meet the artists. Saluhall's monthlong drink special 'Guava Have Pride' will benefit the SF LGBT Center. Barrio in Ghirardelli Square is also serving a rainbow-layered margarita with a portion of proceeds going toward the San Francisco AIDS Foundation. For a caffeinated (and nonalcoholic) drink option, Verve Coffee Roasters is selling a blueberry matcha cold foam latte with 100 percent of beverage sales going toward Equality California. Check out these Pride parties around San Francisco Queer-focused wine club Fat Cat will pour wines at their Fibers of Being Pride Event on Saturday, June 7, showcasing queer artists. For a different change of pace, the Ritz-Carlton offers a fancy weekend afternoon tea party at Parallel 37 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. in June, pairing a Champagne toast and tea with a tower of tea sandwiches and desserts. Drag Me Downtown returns this June with weekly drag show events held every Friday this month. The inaugural event on Friday, June 6, is at One Market Restaurant from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., featuring dinner and a drag review. It's one of the last few chances to visit the restaurant before it closes on Wednesday, June 11, and it'll also offer food and drink items benefitting the LGBTQ Historical Society from June 2 through June 11. If Drag Me Downtown attendees pre-register for any of the events, for a $10 fee, they will receive '2025 drag swag' and the proceeds will go toward the Transgender District. For the final event on Friday, June 27, the Drag Me to Front Street Pride Block Party will be in full swing at 240 Front Street, headlined by Peaches Christ. For the day of the parade, get a rooftop bar view of Market Street from Charmaine's starting at 11 a.m. Be aware, however, that tickets are set up for specific entry times due to the fact that 'the elevator at the Proper Hotel is slow.'

Half of Brits are slacking on their dental care with flossing among most common problems, survey reveals
HALF of adults are cutting corners on their dental care, with experts warning of huge health impacts people may not realise until it is too late. A fifth of those surveyed in a recent poll report opting for a quick swig of mouthwash over brushing their teeth, with 12 per cent even admitting to having used their finger as an alternative tooth brush. Advertisement 2 A new poll shows that Brits might not be brushing properly, or at all, for reasons of laziness and to avoid being late Credit: Getty 2 Experts in the dental hygiene industry have warned that not brushing could put people at risk of a range of health problems Credit: SWNS A poll of 2,000 adults revealed 45 per cent do not bother flossing, 41 per cent only brush once a day, data which has dental experts worried for people's long-term health. Nearly two in 10 (18 per cent) brush their teeth for half or less of the recommended time they should – two minutes - just enough to freshen the taste of their mouth, rather than a full clean. Reasons for this include laziness (33 per cent), running late for something (22 per cent), and not feeling well (26 per cent). Meanwhile, more than one in 10 (11 per cent) admit to never having cleaned between their teeth, using floss or other products in their entire adult life. Advertisement Read more in Teeth Rosemarie Maka, from Philips Sonicare, which commissioned the research, said: 'Cutting corners when it comes to oral hygiene is something a lot of adults do – whether they admit it or not. 'But neglecting your oral hygiene can have huge health impacts, which is something people don't realise until it's too late. 'It's been interesting to find out that even something so quick and simple as brushing for the recommended two minutes or giving your teeth a quick floss is not part of Brit's everyday routine.' TOP 15 WAYS BRITS HAVE CUT CORNERS WITH THEIR ORAL HYGIENE: 1. Skipped flossing 2. Brushed only once a day 3. Skipped brushing teeth before bed 4. Skipped brushing after meals 5. Brushed teeth for less than a minute 6. Used mouthwash instead of brushing 7. Brushed with an old toothbrush 8. Skipped brushing in the morning 9. Skipped brushing when running late 10. Used a toothpick instead of floss 11. Used chewing gum as a substitute 12. Used a finger to brush teeth 13. Brushed without toothpaste 14. Used water to rinse instead of brushing 15. Used a mouth spray instead of brushing The study also revealed 79 per cent believe people get judged on their oral hygiene and appearance of their teeth.

Nearly half (49 per cent) even go as far to say this could impact their romantic relationships, and 38 per cent say the same about employability. UK Mum's Dental Nightmare: Turkey Teeth Leave Her in Debt and Pain It also emerged exactly a quarter will only visit the dentist once a year, while 34 per cent admit they have never visited a hygienist - with one in 10 claiming they don't even know what one is. As a result of poor oral hygiene, 41 per cent have had a filling, 27 per cent a tooth extraction, and 17 per cent root canal treatment. Advertisement Despite 21 per cent claiming they wouldn't know how to make improvements to their oral health, 72 per cent reckon theirs is in a healthy state overall. The data also found 23 per cent reckon poor oral hygiene has previously stopped them from doing something like talking to people (46 per cent), going on a date (29 per cent), and posting images on social media with their teeth showing (27 per cent). Philips Sonicare has partnered with The Hygiene Bank charity to donate £1 of its toothbrushes being sold through Boots. Dr Nilesh Parmar from the brand added: 'Brushing your teeth twice a day is one of the simplest ways to protect your overall health. Advertisement 'Skipping your daily brush, floss or even hygienist check-up can lead to gum disease, tooth decay, bad breath, and can even have links to heart disease and other serious health conditions. 'Dedicating two minutes, twice daily to your oral health routine can reap rewards; however, studies show that what most people think is two minutes is, on average, thirty seconds. 'I recommend to my patients to use an electric brush with an in-built two-minute timer or go back to basics and listen to a song that lasts two minutes while brushing or using an egg timer in the bathroom to track time.' TOP FIVE TIPS TO LOOK AFTER YOUR ORAL HYGIENE: 1. Brush for 2 minutes, twice a day Most people brush for less than a minute that's not enough. Aim for 2 full minutes, ideally morning and before bed, to ensure thorough cleaning. 2. Use a fluoride toothpaste Fluoride helps strengthen enamel and prevent decay. Don't rinse your mouth immediately after brushing — spit, but let the fluoride stay on your teeth longer. 3. Be gentle don't scrub Brushing too hard can wear down enamel and damage your gums. Some electric toothbrushes have a sensor to inform you if you're brushing too hard. 4. Don't forget the gumline and back teeth Plaque often builds up along the gumline and on the molars. Tilt the brush at a 45° angle to reach the gumline effectively. 5. Change your electric toothbrush head every 3 months Worn-out bristles are less effective and can even harbour bacteria. Replace your toothbrush (or brush head) every 3 months, or sooner if the bristles are frayed.

ITV quiz gaming show hosted by Mel Giedroyc is 'AXED after just one series due to poor ratings'
An ITV quiz show hosted by Mel Giedroyc has reportedly been axed after just one series due to 'poor ratings'. Pictionary, based on the legendary classic board game, was turned into a TV show inspired by its US version and hosted by the ex The Great British Bake Off presenter. But recent reports emerged that the guessing competition won't going forward, according to The Sun. 'There are no plans at this stage to make any more Pictionary,' an ITV spokesperson told the publication. 'So many quiz shows have been inspired by beloved board games and the assumption was Pictionary would become an instant hit. 'Sadly the ratings were poor and celebrity-led panels require a budget, which in this case wasn't deemed worth expending.' MailOnline has contacted ITV's representatives for a comment. But the beloved English comedian has been booked and busy as she is set to front Win Win with People's Postcode Lottery alongside fellow star Sue Perkins. In the new series both contestants in the studio and viewers at home will have the chance to win the £1million prize pot. The synopsis states it's 'the most interactive quiz show ever aired in the UK, as viewers playing from the comfort of their sofas get the chance to win the same truly amazing prizes as the contestants playing in studio.' Airing on ITV on Saturday evenings, Win Win will run for six weeks starting later this year. Mel said: 'This quiz is so extra! Imagine winning something like a car just by playing along with a gameshow you're watching on a Saturday night in your pyjamas? I can't wait!' Sue added: 'If I wasn't hosting this, I'd be playing it at home; sat in my leopard print onesie, cuddling the dog whilst trying to figure out The Nation's favourite chocolate bar. Bring it on!' The duo, known for starring together on The Great British Bake Off from 2010 to 2016, most recently worked together on their Sky One sitcom Hitmen. In January, The Masked Singer fans and judges were left in shock when Mel was unveiled as Teeth. After going up against Bear in the nail-biting sing-off, judges Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall, Mo Gilligan and Maya Jama opted to vote out Teeth, with all of them none-the-wiser as to who was behind the mask. So it came as a great surprise when the character finally took off their costume head and revealed themselves to be none other than Mel. The actress, comedian and presenter delighted following the reveal, telling the panel: 'I'll take Su Pollard! It's so nice to see you guys. I love these teeth so much! 'I was very pleased with Alex Scott. Such a fun show, it's impossible not to have fun on this show!' The reveal comes after viewers complained that the clues during the game were 'impossible' as they struggled to work out who was hiding in the costumes. Mel's appearance left the panel open-mouthed in shock after they failed to mention her name at all throughout the series. Other guesses for the star - who changed her voice throughout - included sports commentator Alex Scott, comedian Su Pollard and radio host Ferne Cotton. Viewers watching at home also found it difficult to identify Mel, with many blaming the tough clues which featured one referring to Australian soap Neighbours which is filmed in Melbourne - an apparent link to Mel's name. Speaking about how she felt to be leaving the show, Mel told host Joel Dommett: 'I feel really elated actually. I blooming loved it. I'm sad because my next song was Pointer Sisters, 'Automatic' done as Marlene Dietrich. That would have been fun.' She went on to add of her unveiling: 'I just feel it's a win-win. I didn't think I'd get this far, I think I've got over half way which is great! It's been so fun.'
