Neighborhood Watching: Let’s go to Oak-Land!

by Andrew Dalton on November 18, 2009

Do you live in San Francisco? (I hope so, otherwise a lot of this site won’t make any sense to you.) Anyway, you should probably watch this video (via generic1):

How quaint! They even name-dropped Little Star vs. Zachary’s. Full disclosure: My girlfriend used to live across the street from that Zachary’s and I never once [...]

What takes longer? NOPA vs. Popeye’s

by Andrew Dalton on November 18, 2009

I posited this question on twitter last night, but since not everyone follows @AggroPa on the twitspace friendbook machine, here it is for the rest of you:
What takes longer on a Tuesday night: the line for $0.99 two-piece deals at Popeye’s, or the wait for a table at NOPA?
I spotted more than one person bring [...]

Popular Pizza Prices for Penny-Pinching Panhandlers

by Derek Bradley on November 17, 2009

Listen up, we know it’s Tuesday and you could pilfer some Popeye’s for 99 pennies, but there’s a new cafe in the hood  and some decent deals on Little Star (cowabunga!) that might sway you from the purveyor of poultry. As Broke-ass Stuart pointed out yesterday, Little Star Pizza on Divis will be tossin’ up half-priced [...]

Green Chile Kitchen Re-Opens. Best Burrito You’ve Ever Eaten?

by Andrew Dalton on November 5, 2009

I swung by the new Green Chile Kitchen at McAllister and Baker last night to give them a try. My allegiance to Papalote means I’ve lived in the neighborhood for over 3 years and never once tried GCK’s (cool kids call it that) North-of-the-Border cuisine at the old location on Fulton. So what did I [...]

Aggressive Mastication: Burger Porn at Acme Burgerhaus

by Derek Bradley on October 26, 2009

What’s that? A new burger place opened up on Divisadero? That’s right, Acme Burgerhaus (sans umlaut) has aptly positioned itself right between Jay’s and Popeye’s. So of course we had to check this out.

Friday Digest: Which came first, the restaurant or the neighborhood?

by Andrew Dalton on October 2, 2009

The other day the ever-skeptical Eve at SFAppeal questioned a thin and unattributed article at SFGate about which restaurants “capture the spirit” of their neighborhoods. I guess the people at The Chron/SFGate still have money to eat out despite all those layoffs (cheap shot!) And sure enough the anonymous Chronicle writer(s?) only included a couple [...]

SFoodie at SF Weekly let us know that next Friday, October 9 Papalote on Fulton will be donating 30% of sales to help support the victims of Tropical Storm [...]
