By the way, if you’re asking, you can get to The Monte Carlo for a drink in 11 minutes from 16th and Mission. But if you want to go to Monaco for some gambling, you’re on your own.

Now this is how you do a proper bicycle street race! I wonder if our neighbors in Twin Peaks would allow us to commandeer their streets and sidewalks some afternoon so we can try to pull this off ourselves?
My favorite part is when a dog ambles into the sidewalk-sized track directly in front of the cyclist and all he can do is yell “Perro!” as quickly as possible to avoid disaster. Yes, I realize that the use of Spanish probably means this isn’t an authentic favela, but you get the idea. The only thing that would make this cooler would be if he did a no hand track stand at the finish line.

As many a southern transplant knows, it’s damn near impossible to find a decent plate of rolled tacos in San Francisco. Primarily the provenance of SoCal surf shacks, those golden cylinders of high-octane awesome heaped high with cheese and guacamole are few and far between in The Mission’s culinary burritoscape.
For everyone who’s ever craved a clutch of fried taco glory, Taqueria el Buen Sabor has you covered. All of the essential components are there – crispy deep fried tacos inundated with a wanton mess of lechuga, crema, guacamole, and queso.
When Ramblas Tapas closed, I figured my days of devouring fancy churros dipped in molten chocolate on (or near) Valencia Street were over. Not so! I’ve just been informed that Regalito does the same thing, and that they do it well. I shall soon see for myself.
(Thanks, KCM!)

If you like letters of the alphabet, you’re going to love the new show at Gallery Hijinks:
The Letter Collector is curated with the intention to exhibit both emerging and established artists in one massive group show based on the common love of type and script. Stemming from immensely different backgrounds, each artist creates their unique translation of a letter in the alphabet. The viewer will experience an assortment of letters expressed through a range of mediums: drawing, painting, photography, neon, wood, relief sculpture, and mixed media.
Letter party! Can’t wait!
Note that the above promo was made by Joe Lumbroso, the man behind that epic TCB Courier commercial.
But, it’s kind of not even that disturbing. Is it a good sign that I feel that way?
Watch for yourself:
(Thanks, Amanda!)
