Ice Cream Watch 2k10: Chile Ice Cream & Pie Coming Soon [UPDATED]

by Andrew Dalton on February 16, 2010

Spotted this sign and a diligent carpenter with a circular saw outside of the old Green Chile Kitchen space on Fulton and Baker.

Upcoming: Yelp Drinks Week means $5 fancypants drinks at Madrone

by Andrew Dalton on February 15, 2010

Yelp has declared the first week in March to be Yelp Drinks Week! (They also declared that you have to end every sentence about Yelp with an exclamation point!) Anyway, Yelp Drinks Week means there will be loads of hand-made, half-priced cocktails around town, and for us in the neighborhood it means $5 off a [...]

Department of Stuff You Kind of New Already: MUNI busses aren’t that frequent

by Andrew Dalton on February 10, 2010

MuniDiaries posted this submission from a reader the other day, but I missed it, SORRY.
Anyhow, MD reader Anthony sent in this screenshot to point out that the 24-Divis is “running pretty thing already” as he says. And he raises an important question: where will the upcoming cuts come from?
Also, who knew the 24-Divis went [...]

Thursday Night: Candybar + KungFuTacos + Yelp = ???

by Andrew Dalton on February 10, 2010

Although we haven’t been shy about our love of spotting the Kung Fu Taco Truck parked in front of Candybar on Tuesdays/Thursdays, the jury’s still out on whether the confluence of a neighborhood favorite with the Yelp crowd will lead to an EPIC happy hour or miserable crowds and food poisoning. (Note! As far as [...]

If those other two events didn’t appeal to you…

by Andrew Dalton on February 10, 2010

OK, so maybe you’re not looking for singles and you hate puppies. That’s fine, that’s like, your opinion, man. But if you’re still looking to get out of the house on a Wednesday night and you’re tired of hearing about $2 beers, who also happens to be one of those “bike nuts” you might checkout [...]

Change Your Beer Drinking Habits with Broke Ass Stuart

by Andrew Dalton on February 8, 2010

Stuart posted a new video over on his Goddamn Website earlier today in which he gets schooled on his swill-drinking beer habits by his friend Sayre, a local beer sommelier (called a Cicerone – the more you know!). On their walk through the city, brilliantly called a “Swagger Stagger” (not a bar hop, mind you) [...]

Just Say “DivCo” ?

by Andrew Dalton on February 8, 2010

No. Wrong. Ugh. I don’t even know what to say about this post on Modern Luxury Magazine (whatever that is). Ignoring, for a moment, the fact that we’ve all known we can get $2 beers on Divis for years now – you can’t just go making up names for (parts of) a neighborhood that already [...]

Nash Bridges Revisited: Javelin Catcher

by Andrew Dalton on February 5, 2010

In what might eventually prove to be a feeble attempt at connecting with his adopted city, Andrew is watching every episode of Nash Bridges’ inaugural season. His analysis of this once-popular television program can be found here and on the SFAppeal every Friday until the SF Public Library makes him return the DVDs. If [...]
