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 [...]
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 [...]
Pac Brew Lab/American Grilled Cheese Kitchen: A Match Made in SOMA!
San Francisco Beer Week may have come and gone, but that doesn’t mean we can’t keep the Brew Party going. Two of my favorite SOMA Businesses have announced a new Happy Hour Collaboration that might actually be too cool for Beer Week. Pac Brew Lab (214 Clara St.) and the American Grilled Cheese Kitchen (1 [...]
Deal of the Day: 25 Lusk Offering a Chef’s Sampler for $54
This new deal sounds tempting. While it didn’t earn a 2012 James Beard Award Nomination, I still consider 25 Lusk (25 Lusk St.) to be one of those restaurants that South of Market can add to the bragging list. This week, Bloomspot is featuring a 4-Course Chef’s Sampler complete with a glass of sparkling wine [...]

The study measures the 36-largest U.S. cities [...]
Forget the Mission, SOMA’s The Place To Eat (According to James Beard)
So you know how everyone always talks about how jaw-droppingly fantastic the dining scene has become in the Mission District over the past few years? I’m curious to know why the powers-that-be have been ignoring South of Market as San Francisco’s true culinary destination. Now, I have a little evidence to support my theory. Earlier [...]
Pop Up Restaurant Event Tonight – Chef Ravi Kapur @ Citizen’s Band
Updated Post on February 22, 2012: Back on Monday, we shared a new Pop-Up Restaurant by Chef Ravi Kapur over at Citizen’s Band (1198 Folsom St.). At the time, Chef/Co-Owner of Citizen’s Band, Chris Beerman, had told us that they were gauging the potential of this Pop-Up before they determined if it would become a [...]
A New Restaurant Will Soon Round Out a New Culinary Hot Block on Folsom
It may not look like much, but I received a random phone call a couple of weeks ago from the new occupants at 858 Folsom Street, and it appears that there will soon be a new addition to the fine-dining block between Fourth and Fifth. According to the call a new restaurant named Jamber- with [...]
