A Short Visit to the New SoMA StreatFood Park at 11th and Harrison: Food Trucks, Food Trucks, Food Trucks!
Thursday, July 12th, 2012Well, here’s the new SoMA Streatfood Park, betwixt the I-beams of the Central Freeway (near the western terminus of I-80) and Store #144, America’s First Urban Costco.
I guess I passed through the place early – it looked like a ghost town when I was there.
But the Yelpers, well, they love it.
As does Amanda Gold. And the Wall Street Journal reminds us that the SFP is just a short “stroll” from the $3.2 million penthouse at 9 Bernice.
And, oh, KQED’s Jenny Oh offers her photos and impressions here.
Say cheese!
The entrance at 428 11th:
Les mise-en-scene – reminds me of the spare vehicle lot / junkyard of Veterans Cab Co, which is what this place used to be. Instead of busted Plymouth Gran Furies we now have food trucks:
Open-air communal dining, redolent of the Main Pavilion at Jonestown:
Ah, here are the trees on Division shown in the plans. All this new activity has chased away the under-the-freeway stolen bicycle fences all the way to….
…just across Division Street:
Now, speaking of parking, here’s what you’ll see across the street from the main entrance: ”PARKING IS FOR COSTCO SHOPPERS ONLY – Violators Will Be Towed”
So, you’ve been warned.
I don’t know, I’m sure it was a royal PITA to get the SFP up and running. And I know that the gestation period for this new baby was longer than a rhino’s, but of course a lot of that had to do with setting up the handicapped-accessible bathrooms and the pavillion and whatnot.
What I don’t know is how things will shake out for the SFP over the next year or two. This could be a case of a K-selection strategy in an r-selection environment.
We’ll see.
M-F: 11 AM to 3 PM and 5 PM to 10 PM
Weekends: 11 AM to 10 PM
People on the street eating chicken and meat
People eating pork with a knife and a fork
Wasp Salad Being Served Up in San Francisco’s Financial District This Week – How Did This Happen?
Friday, April 27th, 2012Alls I know is that this poor little critter came along with the salad from an area lunch purveyor. (IOW, it didn’t hop in later on.)
This kind of thing is new on me:

The New SoMA StrEAT Food Park is “COMING SOON!” – Slowly But Surely – A Food-Truck Meeting Place Near the Costco
Tuesday, March 13th, 2012The SoMA StrEAT Food Park will be opening soon, or so they say.
Here’s how things look at the old location of Veteran’s Cab just across the street from America’s First Urban Costco:

Let’s hope the food truck fad doesn’t end before an existing parking lot can open up as a parking lot…

Upstairs is yet another stage, an intimate 40-seat dining room with curtained booths, a private area for groups and bachelor/bachelorette parties, as well as deluxe Champagne rooms and exclusive VIP areas.
Independently owned and operated, The Penthouse Club and Steakhouse will be open 7 days a week. Serving lunch and dinner, guests will be able to enjoy premium spirits and rare reserve wines, and select from the tempting classic American steakhouse menu.

OMG, OMG, OMG: Via ScoutMob, Free Sandwiches From Ike’s Place in the Castro District!
Monday, November 7th, 2011OMG, this is it. [Cue O Fortuna]
It’s the fourth anniversary of obscenely-highly-regarded Ike’s Place, so ScoutMob has a free sandwich deal for you.
You can’t beat that.
(I guess Ike won that NIMBY war after all. Good for him.)
Anyway, enjoy.
Count of Monte Chase-O Fortune,
like the moon
you are changeable,
always waxing
or waning;
hateful NIMBYs
first oppress
and then soothe
as fancy takes it;
poverty
and power
but Hot Momma Huda
melts them like ice.
Fate – monstrous
and empty,
you whirling wheel,
stand malevolent,
well-being is vain
and always fades to nothing,
shadowed
and veiled
you plague Ike Shehadeh too;
now through trickery,
I bring my bare back
to your NIMBY villainy.
Fate, in health
and in virtue,
is against me,
driven on
and weighted down,
always enslaved.
So at this hour
without delay
pluck the vibrating string;
since Fate
strikes down the strong man,
everyone weep with me

All the deets:
Well, here it is, straight outta West Pico Blvd, it’s the Pico de Gap Taco Truck!
Check out the sked on Twitter to find it around town to score two tacos plus a bottle of Mexican Coke or a similar such fruity drink for just $1.69, which is redolent of 1969, the year the first Gap store opened up on Ocean Boulevard.
See? This lovely Gap Gal is holding all four available tacos (designed just for S.F. by famous Top Chef “cheftestant” Ryan Scott) plus a $20 off coupon for “1969″ jeans:
