Let's do lunch:
Sick of sammies? SF Weekly food maven Meredith Brody says check out a spring risotto (with any luck, the asparagus, shallot, and mint version'll be on the menu) at Perbacco in the FiDi (230 California near Front, 955-0663).

Drink therapy:
Toast Hump Day at Levende's Wine Wednesday, where you can score half-price bottles of vino with dinner (20-buck minimum food purchase per person). Levende Lounge (1710 Mission near Duboce, 864-5585), 6-11 p.m.
Sure, that's the murky bay out there, but pretend you're partying near some chi-chi resort's playa -- with happy hour prices worthy of a banana republic -- at La Mar Cebicheria Peruana (Pier 1.5 on the Embarcadero, 397-8880), 4-6 p.m.

Livin' the life:
Witness the second coming tonight when Schmaltz Brewing Company launches the second incarnation of its He'Brew Rejewvenator spring ale. The celebration goes down at Mission Beach Café, where wunderkind chef Thomas Martinez and pastry whiz Alan Carter preside over a beer-friendly spring menu. 6 p.m. $60. 198 Guerrero at 14th St., 861-0198.
