by Andrew Dalton on September 1, 2010

Vulture Reports that the elusive Sean Penn is in New York and our first reaction was: he must be evading that Ike Turner he’s got on the board at Madrone. Why else would he be dressed as Robert Smith?

Popeye’s on Divis Catches Fire, $0.99 Two-Piece Tuesdays Canceled.

by Andrew Dalton on May 18, 2010

So this just happened. About seven fire trucks and various squad cars showed up on Divis while smoke poured out the doors of Popeye’s. Seemed a bit excessive since there were no massive grease-fueled towers of fire involved, but I imagine places like that are equipped to keep that shit contained to the kitchen. SFFD [...]

Did We Just Get Profiled by the Census Bureau? I Think We Just Got Profiled by the Census Bureau

by Andrew Dalton on April 16, 2010

Have you filled out your census form? I hope so, because if you haven’t then NPR will probably lump you in with these assholes in Williamsburg, Brooklyn who are apparently an authority on why 20-somethings in their neighborhood aren’t returning the forms. If you’ve been watching the Colbert Report you probably caught this gem of [...]

by Andrew Dalton on March 18, 2010

For whatever reason, there seems to be a great deal of Fried Chicken news in the neighborhood today. All of which comes to us via twitter, appropriately enough. First off NOPA wants you to know about their rotisserie chicken (technically not fried, but whatever):

by Andrew Dalton on January 12, 2010

Well, it’s Tuesday and you know what that means? $0.99 2-piece at Popeye’s. But remember! Be timely, because things can start to get nasty when they run out of chicken. Just look at what happened at these fine Popeye’s locations:

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 [...]

The Budget-Conscious Panhandler: A Year’s Worth of Beer Change

by Andrew Dalton on October 27, 2009

Look you guys, it’s a recession, we can’t go throwing away all our nickels and dimes all willy-nilly. Panhandlers (both Aggressive and otherwise) are all about gathering change. Just think what you could be buying with the change from stuff you insist on buying every day.
As much as we’d like to, we can’t really afford [...]

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.

The first thing you’ll notice is their hyper simple menu: it’s a short list of burger choices, so you get to pick [...]
