Above is a picture of the former Out of the Closet consignment store. Below is a picture of the same building getting knocked down. Here comes the high-density, multi-use, multi-rate housing project we’ve been waiting for.

Conduit
Address: 280 Valencia St @ 14th
Phone: 415.552.5200
Parking: Parking lot space available
Conduit was designed by the modernist architect Stanley Saitowitz, who thought it would be a good idea to line the space with hundreds of metal wiring conduits. The American/Italian/French food gets its shine from a former Boulevard chef. In addition to a full bar and a 125-bottle wine list, there’s also a 14-person private wine room. At night, Conduit’s stainless-steel/copper grid will be lit up by LEDs.
Monks Kettle
Address: 3141 16th Street at Albion
Phone: 415.865.9523
Website: monkskettle.com
This beer hall serves pulled pork, ahi tuna confit sandos and giant pretzels w/ cheddar ale sauce, pairable with 124 handpicked bottles and draughts. The selection ranges from Bavarian Dopplebocks, to Scottish ales, to a section called “Grandpa’s Suds.”

By Farrah:
Fruitvale (Oakland) vs. The Mission (San Francisco)
Both have a deep-rooted Latin culture and some of the best Mexican food in the Bay yet nightly, the Mission teems with bar-hopping hipsters while Fruitvale’s residents settle in at home with their families, their partners or their goldfish. The fact that both are thriving due to an influx of new businesses and development makes them similar enough for some comparison.
I interviewed two thirty-somethings – an attorney who has lived in a two bedroom house (that she owns) in Fruitvale since 2003 and my friend Gene, a Market Coordinator for a large insurance company and DJ, who has lived in a large apartment on Valencia (in the Mission) since 1999. I’ve also done a little of my own research, including many nights of drunken debauchery in the Mission and getting my grub on in various Fruitvale taquerias.
Results:
Neighbor hotness: Mission
Likelihood of getting jacked: Probably Fruitvale
Likelihood of getting swagger jacked: Mission
Kid friendliness: Fruitvale
Getting around: Mission
Cool stuff to do: Mission
Likelihood that all your neighbors are just like you: Mission
Price: Fruitvale

Foreign Cinema :Mission
Good for brunch, outdoor seating, dinner plus movie
A real gem. Beautiful and dramatic outdoor area for dining. The dishes are divine, the presentation creative and tasteful. I definitely recommend sitting outside to get the full experience. This is also a fantastic place to take out-of-towner’s.
Fringale: SoMa
Dinner, cozy, authentic real French cuisine.
When you walk in, you’ll be greeted by French servers or ignored completely, but once you get noticed and take a seat in this warm and intimate establishment, you will feel right at home. The food will melt in your mouth-rich, but wholesome and fresh. The mussels and fries are a must.

The new condo building at 3280 22nd Street is a “beautiful four unit mixed use condominium building,” according to the property flier. It’s true, there are some neat features including the “living roof,” the “green” elements including oil barrel wood siding & rainscreens and Stewardship Council certified cabinetry. There are even some nice design elements (if you can get past the small rooms) which include giant windows, sharp lines, and beautiful floors, but above all, you’ll have welcoming neighbors.
Located on 22nd Street @ Valencia, this newly constructed condo building is just down the street from one of the best breakfast spots (Boogaloos), coffee shops, bars, taqueria’s and total belligerence any Wednesday-Saturday night. But you don’t have to look much further than out your window to see what your neighbor’s really think of you. The picture above was taken from the window of the unit that is selling for $1.399mm and is loosely translated as: “ENOUGH ALREADY with you rich people and your condominiums.”
