Question: where does one go if one were to celebrate the birthday of an Orchestra Conductor? Why the Tosca Cafe, of course! Last Tuesday, San Francisco Symphony conductor Michael Tilson Thomas (that’s MTT for those not in the know) had his 60th birthday party thrown there in his honor by his partner of 30 years, Joshua Robinson. Robinson chose Tosca because Thomas had said he wanted to go someplace “very San Francisco” and what says “very San Francisco” more like an 85 year old bar known for it’s celebrity sightings and opera laden jukebox? SFist has been going to Tosca for years trying to hunt down celebrities (Bono hangs out there!), but sadly, we've mainly seen Euro-Trash and those striving to become Euro-Trash there.
