July 1, 2008Holiday Block Parties: Divis. and the Mission
(Junior Panthers)Holiday block parties are a smart idea. I hit the one in Hayes Valley last weekend, where various galleries and boutiques offered delicious drinks (cider with brandy!) and snacks, as well as discounts for folks doing their holiday shopping. This week there are two block parties coming up: tomorrow night the Western Addition has its art walk (on Divisadero between Haight and Geary) from 6 p.m. until "late." Then on Friday the Mission's "Get Local-- Give Local" batch of store dis
December 10, 2008Good Coffee in Big Arty Space
If you're going to spend top dollar for your fancy java, there might as well be some perks thrown in (pun intended). Four Barrel Coffee, open for four months on Valencia in the Mission, boasts a huge room with a lofty ceiling featuring beautiful exposed beams. The vast space is adorned with sculptural wood tables, and a row of animal heads line one wall -- chic if not exactly PC.Donuts are trucked in from the Mission's own Dynamo Donuts, including the famed glazed-maple-bacon.

The Urban Cowboy: Excessively accesorizedUrban Burger 581 Valencia (at 17th St.), 551-2483. You can practically smell the ambition here, a burger joint open barely two weeks. The concept has all the signs of incipient burger empire, and why not? The owners' extended family can claim Toast in Noe Valley and the Grind Café in the Haight. Like Custom Burger on Seventh Street, the game here is customization: Pick a patty, weigh in on cheese, toppings, a spread, and bun. If free choice is anathema t
May 27, 2009I Heart Street Art: Valencia Trip
A couple weeks ago I was walking around Valencia, Spain, looking for street art, when I came across an ancient Roman bridge with graffiti all over it. First it struck me as offensive, like who would dare deface something so old and hallowed? But then I started thinking about the epicness of it. It's a juxtaposition we'll just never see here in the new world -- contemporary street art on a thousand-year-old structure. Moreover, it's everlasting vs. everlasting! Everlasting Roman
June 23, 2009Sangria is as Cooling and Variable as the City's Summer Weather
JonnyGdeCA/FlickrScore a prime example at Ramblas on Valencia.Sangria is as delectable and as open to experiment and interpretation as paella, its great culinary cohort of the Spanish table. This fruity, sparkling concoction is the perfect light-spirited libation for the summer months and is malleable enough to be prepared in several variations. The basic idea is to throw slices of fruit into a big pitcher with some sugar, a splash of brandy, and a bottle of wine, chill it for an hour or so, a
June 25, 2009City of Burgers: Thrill of the Grill's Kobe
Mary Ladd Double the meat, double the delcious.Though some may gripe that this place has all the makings of a restaurant that exists solely to cater to drunks, Thrill of the Grill has more to offer than that. Sure, it's a super casual restaurant that may at first glance seem like a logical meeting spot for the wasted. And it does fulfill all the criteria for drunk hangout: prime Valencia corridor location; carb-o-riffic menu of burgers, cheesesteaks, and pizza; late hours; piped in techno
July 6, 2009Score one for SOMA: Suriya Thai Migrates from the Mission
Photo by Pengrin, via YelpSuriya Thai steak.Score one for SOMA, and zero for the Mission. Before being evicted earlier this year after nearly two decades of service, Suriya Thai was a Mission standby for authentic Thai food in a calm setting. Knowing Pi Bar (a pizza joint) is on the way in the old Valencia shop space at 1432 Valencia at 25th Street does little to quell the craving for dishes like Evil Jungle Prince (the Prince may be evil but he's sooo tasty!). Suriya Thai's legions of fans se
July 16, 2009Vandals May Think We're A Rag; but the Guardian Is a Crapper
It's not easy being a newspaper dispenser in the Mission. We were walking down Valencia this week and saw that many of the SF Weekly boxes had been adorned/defaced with graffiti, but this poor, beat-up guy in particular had been turned into: 1. Homeless clothes storage 2. A fire hazard ready to go up in flames. 3. A comment on our paper being a rag? With the newspaper industry tanking, the Missionites
July 24, 2009Snapshot: Smelly Cat

October 21, 2009Breaking: Suicidal Person Threatening to Jump on 500 Block of Valencia
View Larger Map A man on the scene has informed us that a suicidal person is threatening to leap off a building on Valencia between 16th and 17th Streets, and the area has been closed off since around 5:45. Police spokeswoman Sergeant Lyn Tomioka confirmed that the 500 block of Valencia -- the "old Valencia Gardens" is off-limits to the public because of the potential jumper. Details were sparse -- including, even the sex of the person atop the building. Negotiator teams are purportedly in plac
