$10 for $20 worth of cheeeeeeez (or anything else) at Cheese Plus (2001 Polk at Pacific). Snag this deal before it vanishes like a piece of St. André on a plate in front of me. They have awesome sandwiches, too.

If you’re willing to venture to lower Polk tomorrow night, the fifth annual Three Thirty Three Under the Tree festival will be livening up Kimo’s (1351 Polk) with eight local bands, including 333, Room For A Ghost, Entropy Density, Cuban Cigar Crisis, Old And Gray, Burnt Thumbs, Megan Romero, and Tell The Truth. The show kicks off at 7 p.m. and will run to at least midnight.
My friend Chas plays in the group Cuban Cigar Crisis, and they’re actually really rad, and I assume they’re in good company. So here’s a tune from CCC for as a little evening palate cleanser, Continue Reading »

To celebrate its fifth anniversary, Russian Hill’s New American eatery Luella (1896 Hyde at Green) is offering wine by the glass for only $5 Sunday through Thursday throughout the month of March. Seeing as the restau’s most wallet-friendly glass of wine goes for $8, this is definitely a good deal. Better yet, you can scoop up this deal whether you’re in the dining room or in the bar — forget eating, let’s booze! Will I see you there mañana?

Pedestrian crashes on Van Ness Ave’s double fine zone from Golden Gate up to Lombard quadrupled inexplicably (up to 16) last year compared to 2008. Look both ways!

Today’s deal on FreshGuide is $5 for $10 worth of sweetness at rice pudding and frozen yogurt shop Loving Cup (2356 Polk at Union). The creamery of sorts takes a creative twist on dessert staples with flavors like rum raisin, pistachio, pumpkin pie, almond butter, English toffee, and chai-infused pudding, and also has a full coffee bar and other sweets like cupcakes and rice krispie treats. Go ahead. You deserve it.

I took a break from my beloved Polker’s this weekend and had brunch at Cafe Golo over on Lombard St. (at Gough). I tried my first breakfast burrito (First! I know!) there and was pleased, and my date had an omelette that was yummy — and both very affordable. But I must admit this is my new favorite spot because the customer service is downright delightful. The spot is family-owned, and to say our servers were sweet would be an understatement. I left with a serious case of “Will you be my mother?” after our adorable waitress said “thank you for your business” to every soul who walked out of the door.
They also treated us with some complimentary pieces of delicious banana bread, and I couldn’t help but buy a loaf to take away. Yum! Turns out the owner also owns a bakery, and sells his breads at local farm markets, where is also where they pick up all of their fresh-as-can-be produce. They tossed a few extra veggies-of-the-day into my date’s omelette, which was a pleasant surprise. Get over to Cafe Golo (1602 Lombard) as soon as you can.
