Photos from last week's parties celebrating the Big 4 Restaurant's 40 Year Anniversary
Last week, the Big 4 Restaurant celebrated its 40 Year Anniversary with five days of parties beginning on Monday October 3 and culminating on Friday the 7th. Every night was festive and high-spirited, but Friday was the big blow-out party with hundreds of glasses of wine and champagne poured, hundreds of hors d'oeuvres served, and fifteen re-enactors portraying bigger-than-life historical characters from San Francisco's 19th century colorful and storied past. These photos were taken during the week and I've numbered each image. If you see yourself in a photo, or someone you know, please contact me and provide me with your name or their name(s) so that I can add it below the photo.
