Happy New Year, San Francisco!!!

What's that? Your head hurts? If you're like most of this city, you're in need of a strong cup of coffee -- and fast. Or, perhaps you prefer a little hair of the dog, or an unrelenting sweatfest of a workout. Fortunately, San Francisco has plenty of hangover-friendly New Year's Day activities, no matter what your poison.

For a few of our favorites, check out our New Year's Day slideshow below.

Brunch Drunk Love(01 of04)

Though an obvious answer to the New Year's hangover, a good boozy brunch has never let us down. While bottomless mimosas will surely be available at Lime, Luna Park and Bisou, we're taking our money to Bruno's for Brunch Drunk Love. The Elizabeth Falkner-approved weekend brunch has plenty of coffee, plenty of booze and stomach-snuggling eats like the sticky icky bun with salted caramel or the little piggy -- a 4505 sausage, black forest ham, braised pork shoulder, fried egg, chorizo aioli and Gruyere on a housemade English muffin.

Itching to get that New Year's resolution started? There's no better time than mere hours after you crashed on the couch in your party outfit. Fortunately, the Yoga Loft is hosting a special two-hour Vinyasa class with a merciful 11:00 a.m. start time. (credit:Flickr: terriko)
Zeitgeist Bloody Marys(03 of04)

The battle for San Francisco's best Bloody Mary is an epic one. The best restaurants pride themselves on their high-brow versions, and the make-your-own Bloody Mary bars across town sounds fabulous until you realize that you have no idea how to make a Bloody Mary. For a best bet, head to Zeitgeist. The chilly outdoor patio is sure to be festive, and the bar's pickled-green-bean formula is an award-winning classic. (credit:Flickr: emmavn)
The B.A.R.E. Ball(04 of04)

If you work in the service industry, you know that New Year's Eve weekend is going to be anything but a party for you and your coworkers. Created with you in mind: the first annual B.A.R.E. (bar and restaurant employee) Ball at Era Art Bar in Oakland. On Monday night (widely known as industry night) industry workers and their friends can finally celebrate New Year's Eve without having to get someone a double vodka soda. For $40 (all benefiting the Alameda County Community Food Bank), partygoers get complimentary food, cocktails, entertainment and a roaring good time. (credit:Getty)
