• Foodism: A Taste of Hippie San Francisco

  You may have noticed Foodism, the nine-year-old quarterly free magazine, at shops around town. (Or you may not have, like this apparently unobservant writer.) But the publication also has an online space to peruse its flavors of hippie San Francisco in between printed seasons. With sections like "Feste," "Zoetry," "Dionysiac," it feels straight out of the Merry Pranksters era.
