16th and Guerrero restaurant update
Two empty restaurant spaces are about to get less empty. Today a new sign went up at the former Bangkok 16 space for Krua Thai: And further down the street at the former Il Cantuccio space is an alcohol permit for (what else?) a new Italian pizza joint called Mozzeria:

Metreon renovation
Stopped by the Metreon lately? (No? Of course not.) Currently it’s being torn up, and almost everything is closed. The only two remaining establishments are the theater and the Japanese restaurant. Everything else is either gone or being rebuilt. Even Jillians is closed for renovation, despite signs everywhere claiming the opposite. The only two enterances…

Breadache: The Tartine bread experiment
Last Christmas I got a copy of Tartine’s bread cookbook. Oh wait, did I say cookbook? It’s more of a narrative bread manifesto. (Breadfesto?)

Catching up with Clarion Alley
Sometimes I walk through Clarion Alley just to look. It’s not that I don’t want to take photos of the murals, it’s just that I don’t want to be so cliche. But today I decided to take some photos in spite of my own unoriginality, and you’re looking at the result. These are the newest…

Fort Point
Today I visited Fort Point for the first time since I was very little. In fact it was part of a Y-Westerner’s trip. So that means I was maybe in first grade at the time. Something like that. Anyway, if you’re a local history buff, a Civil War buff, a Golden Gate Bridge buff, or…
