New Food Trailer Replaces Parking Lot, Just in Time for a Week of Rain…
Less than a year ago, we reported about a new parking lot that replaced an empty gas stationĀ on the corner of Sixth and Harrison Street. At the time, we questioned whether the new Skypark lot (377 Sixth St.) would succeed, despite it’s less than affordable pricing for a rather vacant area of SOMA. It appears [...]
Brian Wilson Talks About His Partnership With the New Lucky Strike! [Video]
By now, you’ve probably heard that Brian Wilson has partnered (in some capacity) with Lucky Strike Lanes (200 King St.). As is the case with most business decisions in San Francisco, Wilson’s involvement with the new bowling alley/lounge (Officially Opening TOMORROW) began through a mutual friend. They “clicked”, bowled a few frames, and Wilson ultimately [...]
UPDATE: RHDP Volunteer Clean/Sweep This Weekend [Video]
Updated Post on 3/08/12: Now that Caltrans has completed some additional work over at the Rincon Hill Dog Park (corner of Bryant and Beale St.) it’s time for local residents to roll up their sleeves and contribute to its ongoing maintenance. We received this email from the Dog Park about an upcoming Clean & Sweep: [...]
Sunday Streets Returns This Weekend!
Great news for all you Outdoorsy-types. Sunday Streets returns this week! And if that’s not good enough, it’s coming at you one hour earlier due to that little pesky thing called Daylight Savings. Spring Forward with Sunday Streets on March 11th along the Embarcadero! We are happy to announce the return of the popular Sunday [...]
Tin Vietnamese Now Serving Saturdays!
Not only is Tin Vietnamese Restaurant (937 Howard St.) my personal favorite spot in SOMA to get Pho, but I support every business that decides to add weekend hours to their repertoire. As you probably know, this neighborhood has a rather tough time convincing some restaurants that it’s worth their effort to stay open on [...]

For those of you who were following our December Fundraiser push to sell the custom made, Dogs of SOMA 2012 Wall Calendar, I’m happy to report that we have raised $1,100 (after taxes and shipping costs) to benefit the Episcopal Community Services Charity (165 Eighth St.) that was decided by you, our fair readers. The [...]
Sunday: Find a New Best Friend in South Beach…
We’re having a bit of a tie-in sort of day today. While we’re on the topic of dogs, I guess it would be appropriate to share the following Dog Rescue Event happening this weekend over at Pawtrero Bath House and Feed Co. (199 Brannan St.) and City Dogs/Bernie’s Grooming (177 Brannan St.). Pawtrero Bath House [...]
Deal of the Week: Happy Birthday, Bar Basic!
If you have never been to Bar Basic (510 Brannan St.), you’re missing out on one of the more relaxed bars in South of Market. I remember a couple years ago when this space was known as the Gallery Lounge. At the time, I thought that the concept was interesting: bar as art gallery- but [...]
Crime in South of Market – March, Volume 1
If you’ve ever doubted how crazy this neighborhood can get when it comes to crime, just take a stroll down Sixth Street on the First of the Month; the unofficial but highly documented epicenter of crime in San Francisco. That’s where I ended up last Thursday after a meeting that I attended in the area. [...]
