The Window

Love Pop-up Food Vendors? Check out The Window!

Pop-up food vendors are the newest craze in this city.

So, what’s a “pop-up” you ask? A pop-up is a food vendor, who may have a food truck, that is using another restaurant or shop’s space to prepare and/or sell their own eats.

Last month, Coffee Bar‘s third location in SoMa (Howard and 12th St) announced that while they are several months away from opening, they want to open up their kitchen for use by San Francisco pop-up vendors who want to sell food out of a service window on the side of the building they’ve dubbed “The Window.” 

Starting next Wednesday, Mar. 19, The Window will be hosting nine different vendors that include Soup Junkie, Good Foods Catering, Seoul Patch, Jablow’s Meats, Sweet Jo’s Chile and Biscuits and Maite Catering.

To see the March pop-up calendar, visit the Coffee Bar’s The Window webpage.

Lucky Strike

Lucky Strike Opens in San Francisco

Looking for something new to do in San Francisco?

Why not add bowling to the list? And not just any bowling alley…Lucky Strike! Famous for its hip, blacklight bowling complete with plenty of music, a gastropub, ugly bowling shoes and a game room.

Opening tomorrow, Friday, Mar. 9, this bowling mecca opens right across from AT&T Park and is co-0wned by none other than “The Beard” himself, Giants closer Brian Wilson.

Grab a martini or IPA (they’ve got a few more craft beers than your average alley) and some sushi, and get ready for some 10-pin action. If you can, try to get one of the two lanes in the Green Room,  an intimate, well-appointed lair with tobacco-hued sofas, emerald velvet chairs and a century-old Italian harvest table. And if bowling isn’t enough for you, you can also go to Lucky Strike for a game of chess, pool or trivia in a game room.

Check out the complete menu:

I’ve got my bowling shoes ready! I’ll see you there!

It’s William Shatner’s World…we just live in it

He was Captain Kirk. You’ve seen him on countless Priceline.com commercials. Now you can see William Shatner and all his wackiness in his very own show called “Shatner’s World (We Just Live In It).”

The show’s Broadway run has ended, but when has something like that ever stopped William Shatner. Now he’s touring the country and for one night only (Sunday, March 11), William Shatner bring “Shatner’s World” to San Francisco’s Orpheum Theatre.

I’m sure the show is nothing more that William Shatner being William Shatner on stage, but here’s how the “About” section of the Shatner’s World website describes it:

Who am I, really?
I haven’t saved the universe countless times (or even once), but a part of me is Captain Kirk.
I’m not a hard-bitten, L.A. cop, but a part of me is T.J. Hooker.
I’m not an addled (well, maybe), high-powered attorney, but a part of me is Denny Crane.
I’ve had many other roles, on-screen and off…Husband, father, friend. Horseman, Singer, Philanthropist, NEGOTIATOR.
All of the parts contribute to the whole, AND IT MAKES FOR ONE HELL OF A STORY!

Hey Chocolate Lovers! The SF International Chocolate Salon is this Sunday!

If you love chocolate like I do, you won’t want to miss the 6th Annual San Francisco International Chocolate Salon this Sunday, Mar. 4 from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. at Fort Mason’s Herbst Pavillion.

The SF International Chocolate Salon is the premier chocolate show on the West Coast where chocolate aficionados, fanatics, buyers and journalists can experience the finest in artisan, gourmet and premium chocolate in one of the world’s great culinary metropolitan areas. 

I went with some friends a few years ago and had a blast. We tasted so many kinds of chocolate and even got to see Elizabeth Faulkner of Orson, Citizen Cake, and most recently, Iron Chef America fame. If you’ve never been and love chocolate, I definitely recommend checking it out. But I have to warn you, you’ll definitely be on a sugar kick after this event!

FiDi’s Newest Spot: Per Diem

In mid-December, the newest bar/restaurant to hit the Financial District, Per Diem, opened it’s doors. Opened by the same folks who brought us The Brick Yard in Cow Hollow, Per Diem feels like you’re stepping back into time to an old Southern bar. Lots of brick, crystal chandeliers and exposed beams make this a cozy place to meet friends for a drink after a busy day of work in the FiDi. It reminded me very much of another FiDi hotspot, Tyler Florence’s Wayfare Tavern.
