Posts Tagged ‘Hyde’

Hey y’all! I’m trying something different here on Polk Sheet and giving a guest blogger a shot. Welcome Russian Hill local Natalia W. and her keen eye for the curb: While walking down Sacramento the other day, my boyfriend’s sharp eye caught this doozy at the corner of Hyde. Somebody may have had too many cocktails [...]

Near or far, edgy or conservative, American or foreign, a city is always a living, breathing thing. But despite the bustling streets, the forward-thinking citizens, and the need to push, push, push, you’ll find pockets that remain static — in face of change. Since I carved out a little life for myself around Russian Hill, [...]

I love receiving tips from my Polk Sheet readers about happenings in the ‘hood. Unfortunately, the latest one is not so pleasant: If you’ve seen or heard anything, feel free to pass the word along. I suppose this sort of thing comes with the territory of city life. But still, a bummer! Sorry Curt. On [...]

I have it on good authority that Bacchus Wine and Sake Bar (1954 Hyde St. at Union), i.e. the shoebox-sized pre-Sushi Groove drink-while-you-wait spot, has had a change of ownership. I’m not sure whether the contemporary speakeasy, which has only six bar seats, no website, and not even a sign, will remain as is or [...]

Working for the Weekend

Wondering what all the hullabaloo is at Union and Hyde? Unfortunately that sexy construction crew isn’t building an underground disco, but installing 24″ and 8″ water lines. Those neon-vested studs won’t return until the end of the month (Sept. 19-20, 26-27) to finish up the job, since weekends are the only time MUNI can de-energize [...]

Last week, the SF Chronicle got down to the meat of tapas, bringing to light how the small plates have deviated from their original Mediterranean routes. In Spain, tapas are essentially just tiny appetizers, a precursor to dinner, and more about “strolling and snacking,” than filling your belly sharing a lot of little plates with [...]
