I’m excited to see something new going into the Rex place. I’ve long been wishing to see it shutter; never was a fan. Who knows what will replace it? Zarzuela has some competition. I’m excited.

A New Coffee Shop Opens on Polk
Posted in News, Restaurants on May 22, 2011 | 1 Comment »
A new coffee shop, called The Brew, opened today in the former florist’s shop space at 2436 Polk St., between Union and Filbert. The menu is pretty straightforward with the usual cappuccinos, espresso, etc., and the decor is simple; there’s really no angle that sets this place apart. But nevertheless it’s a nice, quiet place to [...]

Posted in Restaurants, tagged Afghanistan, Food, Helmand Palace, Local Blog, Restaurants, SOFAT Blog on August 16, 2010 | 6 Comments »
I’ve never eaten at the Afghan restaurant Helmand Palace (Van Ness between Union and Green), mostly because it just looks like a hole-in-the-wall and secondly because I don’t know much about Afghan cuisine. But, Michael of the S.O.F.A.T. blog (Stories of Food and Travel) dined there recently, and reading about his experience has convinced me [...]
