Pierogi are all the rage these days. They're the new pie, which was the new cupcake, which was the new Otter Pop. Perhaps this recent San Francisco obsession is because The City isn't home to a bunch of Eastern European immigrants. Maybe we're just bored of Mexican fast food and eating food on the street when it's 55 degrees outside. Either way, Vegan Hacker, a monthly vegan culinary workshop that takes traditionally omnivorous recipes and veganizes the shit outta 'em, picked up on the recent trend and is taking on pierogi tomorrow. And perhaps better than learning how to make your own pierogi is the fact that all this goes down at Noisebridge, the Mission Street computer hacker space full of some broken shit, some working shit, and some robotic shit. Really, I cannot think of a better backdrop for such an event.

Ride the 38 out to 20th and Geary some time; the Richmond has lots of Russian families and shops where you can buy pierogies.
ahem.
if you go to either the Richmond or the Sunset, you can find many eastern european markets and bakeries that sell hella good food. Hell just on Balboa near 6th you’ve got some great choices. Irving St. has some amazing fresh baked breads, deli meat and pirogis too. Back in 2000 they used to have street signs in Russian for the election, before the liberals banned street sign postings, and also, the Russians sure as Hell know how to make some good strong beers. They sell plastic 2 litres of the shit and makes Four Loko look like California Cooler.
come out sometime and we’ll do a tour.
