Here it is, at Miley and Baker near Greenwich, San Francisco, CA 94123 - Marina/Cow Hollow.
Here’s the review:
“Place is hidden & small. Typically overcrowded (mainly due to size), but also a nice oasis in the sea of the city.”

Now you Know Better Your Obscure Public Parks.
As far as I can tell, but I don’t make it to the outer boroughs all that much these days.
No matter, this place was impressively busy last Sunday

“Sunday 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM Year-round
In the Parking Lot between 8th and 9th Avenue, South of Irving Street Get directions…
The Inner Sunset Farmers’ Market brings fresh, locally-grown fruits and vegetables to you every Sunday, year-round. Join us every week to taste some the best of California’s best”
I wish to declare Burger Urge, of 1599 Haight Street, a tourist trap.

Vox populi:
“It was one thing to charge 9-10 dollars for a mediocre burger and another to charge 2 dollars more just to put a slice of cheese on a regular burger, but now some burgers are 13.99?! NO fries, no sides? no sides? It’s an average burger and absolutely not worth the huge spike in prices. I hope the tourists enjoy wasting their Euros and Yen. $13.99? Utter rip off. Get a delicious sandwich across the way at Haight Street Market for $6.50 instead.”
“McDonalds – which is full of crackheads – is a better dining value.”
The People have spoken.
(Well, here’s the latest on the situation over in Florida that the MusclePharm people were so worried about.)
Now it’s on with the show, the road show, see?

And let’s see what the Yelpers have to say about this particular Costco sto:
“I love Costco! Here’s why..
1.) Best return policy- no questions asked!
2.) Lowest price without compromising the quality.
3.) Health score of 100/100! Beat that!
4.) Best hotdog you can get for only $1.50! That’s including soda.
5.) Costco’s travel deals are the best! Nobody can beat it.
6.) Caucasian guy at the cashier who always wears Hawaiian shirt and speaks like 10 different languages.
7.) Convenient – location, parking etc”
And oh, if I can read the fine print, you can too, but anyway, just saying this whole deal is members only. So if you’re not among the first 300 Costco members in line, you won’t be getting anywhere near CK. (One assumes the MP people* want you to queue up for hours and hours, you know, to create a frisson non?) Fair warning.
*6’1″ and 230 pounds – why do those stats seem familiar? Put me in, coach!

(Now of course there are plenty of other places in town that could similarly be considered “sketchy” by the Yelpers, except the Yelpers would never have a reason to go there.)
Now let’s take a look at these blips on San Francisco’s CT scan:
North Beach – Stay off of Broadway and out of its strip clubs and you should do fine. The epicenter is Kearney and Broadway.
The Tenderloin – This is the big one. AKA the Uptown Tenderloin, per some Berkeley residents. AKA the Twitterloin. AKA the 6th Street Corridor. AKA Downtown. AKA Civic Center. AKA New Market / NeMA. AKA Central Market. AKA Mid-Market. AKA the ‘Loin. The epicenter is Turk and Taylor.
The Fillmore – AKA the Western Addition. The epicenter is the Popeye’s Chicken & Biscuits in the Safeway mall.
NoPA – AKA North of Panhandle Area. AKA Northeast of the Panhandle Area. AKA the Divisadero Corridor. AKA DivCo. AKA the Western Addition. The epicenter is the Popeye’s Chicken & Biscuits at Hayes, I suppose, but the drug dealers who hang out at McAllister and Divis might disagree.
Lower Haight – AKA Lower Fillmore. The epicenter is Haight and Webster.
16th and Mission – The epicenter is the BART Station.
24th and Mission – The epicenter is the BART Station.
30th and Mission – The epicenter is where they want to build a new BART Station.
The Lower Third – NB: The cross-streets are alphabetized, more or less. The epicenter is Oakdale and Third
END OF LINE.
Thusly:
You see, first it was all like this, abandoned, empty:
Then it was all like this, as seen from 225 Bush, a slightly older and slightly shorter building:
And then you could see through the thing, as seen earlier this year:
And now it’s a beacon at night.
I guess it’s called 140NM now? Ok fine.
So, first this building was commercial office space, then they wanted to change it to condos, and then they changed it back to office space, and now I’ll bet they wished they had stuck with the condo idea. Oh well.
Anyway, get all the deets on the Pacific Bell Building right here.
I’m thinking it’s not easy to get a four-star Yelp rating from 1100 Yelpers and yet here it is:

And look at this, they aint never heard of the acronym NoPA:
“Welcome to San Francisco’s First Dessert Lounge
Candybar is located in the Western Addition neighborhood of San Francisco.”
How refreshing!
If it weren’t for five-star shill Yelpers, this event would be rated 2.5 stars.
However, if you are a fun person, with a group of friends, and you all expect the event to be a big ripoff but you’re going anyway, there’s a chance you might like Oktoberfest By the Bay at Pier 48.
Prices are actually down from a few years back – that’s why I’m saying it appears to be a better event, less of a ripoff.
Good luck!
