Nopa (the restaurant) got a couple nods for Best Late-night bites and Best Place to Dine with a Crowd, which isn’t really all [...]

Golden Gate Park Getting a Waffle Truck

by Andrew Dalton on June 23, 2010

EaterSF reports that Waffle Mania Waffle Truck-turned-Kiosk has been approved to set up another location in Golden Gate Park. Caroburger over at Eater is a little thin on the details, but apparently they’re going to operate out of a truck set up “near the museums”. So, at JFK Drive and Hagiwara Tea Garden Drive, then?

Fell & Divis Arco Owner Kind-of Assaulted BP Protester Maybe.

by Andrew Dalton on June 21, 2010

So it turns out the Arco/BP Shutdown party wasn’t just a one time thing and the Facebook Revolutionaries behind the protest are doing this weekly now (who knew?).  More importantly though, last Friday’s protest not only angered a lot of drivers, but it apparently pissed off Arco Station owner Larry Armstrong who, according to facebook [...]

New Sidewalk Cafe at Fell & Divis

by Andrew Dalton on June 18, 2010

I’ve noticed this dirt-cheap hot dog offer in the past (which may or may not be related to the hot dog cart guy that hangs out in front of the Independent), but now they’ve got a table and chairs out in front of the convenience store at the 76 Station. Because if there’s one thing [...]

Protest a Bunch of Stuff and Make a Park at the Fell/Divis Arco

by Andrew Dalton on June 10, 2010

Breaking News: Old Dude Has Knife; Single Handedly Threatening To Roll Back Gentrification.

by nedhepburn on June 3, 2010

This dude infront of the Bean Bag Cafe had a knife and threatened to kill a number of crust-punk kids sitting outside. I don’t know why. I don’t even care. I just think that the guy has seen ‘Death Wish’ one too many times because God knows we all have opinions about gentrification in [...]

People Of San Francisco, I Have Arrived.

by nedhepburn on June 3, 2010

Bloodied, dirtied, and covered in what appears to be aloe vera, I have arrived in San Francisco.
For the third and perhaps final time in 9 months I packed up everything I own into my car and left Los Angeles, swearing that I’d never return. I headed North, to the Bay Area, home of promiscuity, revelry, long [...]

First up, Nooworks – that adorable little shop of screenprinted tees and totes and such attached at the hip to Workshop announced in a blog post that they’re packing up and heading down to the Mission.

by Andrew Dalton on May 28, 2010

After hearing the announcement on Wednesday that ING would be dropping their Bay to Breakers sponsorship, the fine Citizens for the Preservation of Bay2Breakers (Why do we always put a 2 in there?
