The Chatterbox

02/28/06

This week is all about some casual dining spots popping up around town. Two of my favorite folks in town, Will Linn and Monika Milk Bernstein, are mostly known for their event-producing work as Blasthaus, and for their hip lounge/art space, RxGallery. But on March 20, they will be…

222 Club

A fave little Tenderloin haunt, the ~222 CLUB~, just landed their liquor license (they scored it from the now-closed Sno-Drift Lounge). Which rocks, because “the grotto” (as me and my pals like to call the triple-deuce) was already a choice little spot, even though they only had wine and beer,…

The Lush

RockIt Room

Out on Clement St., the Last Day Saloon morphed into the ~ROCKIT ROOM~ last year, but the renovations are actually complete this week. The former roadhouse has been brought up-to-date and modernized, and will be featuring more of a sleek/industrial/urban look. The downstairs is supposedly working the loungey…

Purcell Murray

Okay, I am so totally going to this: on Saturday March 4, kitchen goddess and Provence princess, ~GEORGEANNE BRENNAN~, is doing a cooking demo on springtime ingredients for a perfect Provençal menu. Think lamb, and early spring produce like morels, asparagus, and fava beans. There will be a lunch following…

Pesce

THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE FORMER POLK STREET LOCATION, DATED FEB 28, 2006 For a town known for its seafood, it sometimes feels mighty challenging to indulge in some quality and tasty fish here. What gives? And I'm not talking sushi, or crab and garlic noodles. So yes,…

Couleur Café

*THIS RESTAURANT HAS CLOSED* Scene: Tuesday night, 7pm. Your sh*t is hungry. Work sucked. Your frig only has olives and ketchup and, like, one egg. (One egg, so annoying.) You've had enough of the Chinese-Thai-Indian tribunal with their meals and deals on the pastel pieces of paper…

K&L Wine Merchants

As if you need further inspiration to visit ~K&L WINE MERCHANTS~,  but here you go: on Saturday, March 25, they will be offering a special tasting of wines from small producers who make organic/biodynamic wines from the Loire Valley, Burgundy, Jura and Southern France. The wines are…
