The "fro-yo wars" got all the headlines in '08, but the battle to be ground up and put into your fleur-topped latte has been quietly raging, too.

Who'll be the victor? Does anyone actually care? Who know; This is also just a list of all of the (barista-equipped) purveyors of these fine coffees in the city.

Fri, 21 Nov 2008 01:17:30 +0000

Some of San Francisco�s alleys are like the tiny, bistro-lined streets in Europe which, too narrow for cars to drive through, become pedestrian oases from downtown bustle and traffic.

Mon, 17 Nov 2008 23:35:18 +0000

Unspoiled Cesspools: Hipster-Free Dive Bars

Mon, 13 Oct 2008 22:43:24 +0000

This city has plenty of hipstered-out, so-called dive bars, but once 50 percent of a bar's revenue comes from anything other than crusty old drunks, it's no longer a real dive--and it's time to colonize some new cesspool. The dives on this list reach depths you only sink to after a lifelong downward spiral, where dirt-cheap drinks are served in even dirtier glasses, but there�s nary a hipster in sight to spoil the authenticity--except you.

Molecular Gastronomy

Wed, 03 Sep 2008 21:55:55 +0000
