San Francisco is proud host of a new reality show called "How to Get the Guy" that's unfortunately not a descendant of Will and Grace, Queer Eye, The L Word, American Idol etc. Also a biodefence lab is coming to the East Bay and SFist teaches wine pairing.

This week being Gay Pride week, Gothamist thought for about parading then realized, well, that sounds suspiciously like exercise, and we'd rather drink anyway. So we wondered if there is such a thing as a gay drink? What makes it gay? We asked at an ostensibly straight bar, Lolita, at the party for Elizabeth Merrick's novel Girly (Ms. Merrick ran the Cupcake reading series with Lauren Cerand until April 2005). We spoke to one co-owner, who said, in what would become a refrain, a Cosmopolitan is gay, right? Well, it's pink and, um, even we can't finish that sentence. Lolita does have it's share of gay, though, including The Tease, a Citron-Amaretto-pineapple juice-sour mix-lemon juice and a cherry, a drink that the bartender made to kick you in the knees. And there are two house drinks, the eponymous one and the 266, the bar's address on Broome, a gin drink that can kick other parts in. We asked about the inclusion of the Velvet Hammer on the menu. He says it's from the movie Cocktail. The Tom-I love this woman!-Cruise movie cocktail (vodka, creme de cacoa, milk, a cherry) is clearly their gayest drink.
Gothamist knew there was a reason why we loved Brian Williams so much. Besides being hilarious and loving pizza, the NBC Nightly News anchor apparently loves sexy TV, too. Rush and Molloy report that when stars of The L Word (think Sex and the City without the men and the New York, but with more ladies) were at Michael's, Williams said, "On Sundays in my house, it's all about the lesbians of 'The L Word.'" Word. The media is all about loving the ladies - from the MILFS of Wisteria Lane to Los Angeleno lesbians...just as long as they are hot. Mayor Bloomberg, NYC needs a show about MILF-y lesbians STAT!

• Alessandra Stanley says, "Except for the politics and soft-core pornography, "The L Word," Showtime's new series about lesbians that starts on Sunday, is old-fashioned fun." Hey now!
