This week's tablehopper: hello, pumpkin!

Hello hello! I know I’m not the only one fired up for this short week, whew. The past couple weeks have had me waaaay over-busy, including the two Jewish Food Society events I helped produce (check out my Reel recap here!), and last Friday, I had the opportunity to…

New Openings (and Reopenings): Friends Only from Ray Lee (Akiko's), Liholiho, Pinsa Rossa, Keys Jazz Bistro, More

A North Beach Institution Returns: the Savoy-Tivoli Is Reopening Soon

Gambit Opens in Hayes Valley, Stoa Coming to Lower Haight

Back in April, I reported on GAMBIT LOUNGE, a new bar taking over the former Noir Lounge space in Hayes Valley from Cezar Kusik (Rubicon, Butterfly, 25 Lusk) and Edward Calhoun (Southpaw, Dogpatch Saloon, Peacekeeper, 25 Lusk). On Sunday, I swung by for an industry sneak peek, and they are…

This week's tablehopper: pasta weather.

Hi gang, I know today is a tense one—hopefully the welcome rain and a stiff cocktail (or quality and low-dose weed beverage) will help you deal with things. It’s a good night for some mac and cheese. (I have a bunch of pasta recipes on my Pinterest board,…
