Tenderloin / Civic Center

HOLY SHIT SOMETHING OPENED!

— By Serg |

I haven’t eaten here but I was fucking shocked to see the grand opening banner announcing the arrival of a Yemenis restaurant at the culinary mecca that is Post and Larkin. Ever since I first noticed this building in 2003 this place has been empty with some shitty ass microsoft word flyers taped to the window that proclaiming “Jenny’s International Cuisine Coming SOON!” in all the arched glory that the janky impact font could muster up. I’m kind of disappointed that Jenny’s amazing international cuisine never got to make it’s mark on the culinary scene of San Francisco but this place might be good. Yelp hasn’t hit it, they’ve probably been to busy stuffing their dumb fucking faces with Carne Asada fries at Olivos, apparently worthless fucking SoCal bastadized white people taqueria garbage plates are the holy grail of mexican food on yelp (their pupusas are no joke tho, I fuck with them hard and they are super nice).

Ever since my agoraphobia manifested, I’ve had to rely on my Flickr contacts to visit the wilds of San Francisco for me.  Three people have posted pictures of this mural, so I’m guessing that means “it’s a hit.”

Since I was never good at making critical decisions, I present to you all three snaps.

Tendorloin [sic] Tony's Tours Replaced By Gourmet Coffee

— By Brizz |

Tendorloin Tony

Not being as cool KevMo, I have yet to receive a death threat via blog comment, and I also don’t live in the Mission. I  technically live in the Western Addition, I guess, but barely, and spend a great deal of time in the neighboring Tenderloin, so was excited when I spotted this bizarre-o business venture in a long-vacant retail space at Larkin and Golden Gate. I really wanted to take one of these tours. I figured I’d get some nice insights into the history of the ‘Loin along with at least a few words thrown in on “great moments in public defecation.” I spotted it back in early December. The photos and sign were posted for a single day and disappeared. Today, the nonsense below was tacked to the same window.

This town needs another gourmet coffee shop like it needs another group blog. Oops. Anyone know anything about the enigmatic Tendorloin [sic] Tony? Or want to call the landlord and report back?

 

Does Anyone Want to "Cat Bomb" Whiskey Thieves Next Week?

— By Kevin Montgomery (@kevinmonty) |

 

Don’t get me wrong, I generally think dogs are kinda cool, but I’m by far more into cats.  For one, cats are not a Dolores Park fashion accessory and are not acquired by otherwise dog-apathetic single guys to pick up chicks.  Cats also keep undesirable creatures (mice/rats/your ex-girlfriend with allergies) out of your apartment.  But, really, SF is a giant neighborhood that is all about bringing your pets into bars, either to be seen or some other noise like companionship.  So why the hell not cats?  Crystal tells me that the bouncer at Whiskey Thieves said the bar is willing to allow cats if they are on the leash.  Does anyone else want to have a cat-in?
