THE HOT LIST ! TAX TIPS!

Tax Tips
Chances are you've paid the piper- or will come Wednesday- and, in the spirit of putting 2008 to bed (financially) here are some recomendations to help you move on and celebrate. Let the fun begin ....


IN THE RED
Spring Wine Special at Terzo

Head to Terzo, and they'll give you half off a bottle—or, more optimistically put: two bottles for one—from the 20-deep list of wines under $40. Order the Grilled Niman Ranch Steak and call it a day.

Sun-Thur, now through May 31, 3011 Steiner St. (at Union ), 415-441-3200


A WINDFALL
Lounge Menu at Michael Mina

MM's new lounge menu means that you can feel like a million bucks without spending it. Settle into a high-backed stool at the marble bar and load up on luxe comforts like Lobster Corn Dogs and Lobster Pot Pie from the new lounge menu as Borys whips you up a dirty martini, or five.

Now at Michael Mina, Westin St. Francis, 335 Powell St (at Post), 415-397-9222


HALFWAY HOUSE
Halfsy Hour at Zinnia

Thanks to Zinnia's new Halfsy Hour, classic libations like a Dark and Stormy, Chimay Red Label and glass of syrah are half-off starting Wednesday. Perfect timing…

5-7pm, starting Apr 15, Zinnia, 500 Jackson St (at Montgomery ), 415-956-7300


STOCK TIP
15% Off Wines at Biondivino

Some people invest in pork bellies; for you wine is more of a sure thing. Drop by this wall-to-wall Italian wine boutique, mention UrbanDaddy and you'll get 15 percent off any bottle—or rather, every bottle—in the shop.

Apr 15, Biondivino, 1415 Green St (at Polk), 415-673-2320


FILE AN EXTENSION
ACME Chophouse's Happy Hour

Head to AT&T Park, and for $5, you'll get your choice of Iron Chef/James Beard-winning chef Traci Des Jardin's Dungeness fritters, baby-back ribs or chicken wings—add $3 draft beers, $4 wines by the glass and $10 by the half-bottle, and call it your season pass.

Starts Apr 16, Tues-Fri on non-home-game days, 4:30-6:30pm, ACME, 415-644-0240
