Where there’s a weekend, there’s a way.
The Del Popolo truck’s popping up at the American Grilled Cheese Kitchen tomorrow. What will be there: pizza, of course, and beers from Linden Street and Pac Brew Labs. What won’t be there: grilled cheese. Oh, the irony.
The Union Square spot just got revitalized/reconcepted, with a new lounge-oriented focus. You’ll find a raw bar, small bites like ahi tuna poppers and Asian-influenced drinks like the gin/elderflower Concubine. Actual concubines: you’re on your own for those.
You and Ethan Hunt have a lot in common. Okay, that’s not true, but you do have this: rappelling off of buildings. Your version: a 425-foot drop off the roof of the Grand Hyatt, which comes with a donation to Special Olympics Northern California. Playing the Mission: Impossible theme: optional.
Imagine a ménage à trois with you, Marion Cotillard and Salma Hayek. We’ll give you a minute. Now add food to the equation. Now subtract Marion and Salma. What you’re left with: this place, the Potrero bistro’s new sister restaurant, serving up mussels, crepes and... quesadillas. Okay, you can add Marion and Salma back now.
The views at the Mark’s penthouse bar: panoramic. So panoramic, in fact, that you can see Washington, DC, from there. Well, kind of—they’re screening Hollywood classics with popcorn, gratis wine and that epic martini list. Next up: Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. You love a good filibuster.
