13th Annual Glen Park Festival

Having lived in San Francisco for the past seven years, I feel like I am at least somewhat familiar with most neighborhoods in the city.  The exception is Glen Park.  I am ashamed to say that until recently I wasn’t 100% sure where it was/that it existed. Yes, I know

Dumb Cheap Pizza Lunch Special Is Afoot at Lil’ Frankies!

Perhaps you’ve noticed the rash of $1.00 pizza joints around town nowadays. It’s really testing the limits of the age old maxim of “there’s no such thing as bad pizza in New York City,” which is true when you consider what the outland territories (read: flyover states) dare to call

Sample Lagunitas Deliciousness at the Brazen Head

Craft beer, craft beer, craft beer, craft beer, craft beer. Seems to be what any bar worth it’s salt in Brooklyn can talk about. Well, that or molecularly-complicated, organic, artisanal cocktails. But let’s not get hung up on deconstructed martinis and talk about some craft beer. There’s an explosion going

Bid A Fond Adieu to Merce Cunningham’s Legacy

Excuse my ignorance of the form, but I’ve never been much of one for modern dance. It’s an incredibly powerful art that can really illicit emotion through the display of the body contorting and acting in uncommon, graceful ways, but watching too many bad performances soured my taste for the
