Spend Your Weekend in SOMA

Spend Your Weekend in SOMA

It’s Labor Day Weekend! The unofficial end of the Summer for most of the Northern Hemisphere, but the unofficial beginning of Summer here in San Francisco! It’s time to open your doors and windows and let that natural air conditioning take hold. This weekend, if you’re one of the few who are staying in town, [...]

A New Twist on the Best Happy Hour in SOMA!

A New Twist on the Best Happy Hour in SOMA!

How do you take the Best Happy Hour in South of Market and make it even better? Two words: Clementine Gimlet. And that’s only one item on the newly revised Happy Hour Menu at Ozone Thai (598 Second Street). If you haven’t been to Ozone, what are you waiting for? They not only offer some [...]

An Open Letter to District 6

An Open Letter to District 6

Update from 9/03/10: When it rains, it pours… Look at this video from blouz.com, one of the best ‘on the scene’ resources I’ve found for the Sixth Street Corridor. Talk about eyebrow raising:   Update from 9/02/10: Someone sent me this link to an interesting blog from over on 6th Street. It’s a great supplemental [...]

UPDATE: Borders Going Out of Business Sale

This morning, I received this email image from Borders… I guess it’s nothing we didn’t know already, but it’s further promoting their Going Out of Business Sale where you can get up to 30% Off on Selected Items.  There have been a lot of mixed feelings about the potential bowling alley that is rumored to [...]

UPDATE: Tokyo Express NOW OPEN at Mission & Fourth!

Check Out Our Local Business Directory!

Check Out Our Local Business Directory!

This morning, we added our newest Local Business Directory Category: Real Estate Agencies. “Wait a second,” you might be thinking. “You have a business directory at LiveSOMA?” Being that we more than TRIPLED our monthly traffic record in August (Thanks to everyone!), I’m going to guess that many of you haven’t had a chance to [...]

This Week in FREE Concerts!

I didn’t post this week’s FREE Outdoor Concert Schedule yesterday because for some reason, they opted to not have any performances this afternoon. This week, the schedule is starting in South of Market tomorrow. This week they have my personal favorite, Pan Extasy, performing at the Orrick Building on Howard Street, as well as some [...]

UPDATE: Dangerous Sidewalk on Third Street in South Beach

UPDATE: Dangerous Sidewalk on Third Street in South Beach

We’re happy to report that there’s no longer an added threat of impalement along 3rd Street in South Beach.
