It is 7:40 a.m., rainy and a cold 53° out there. Highs are expected to get up to 57°. Details here. I hope you’re staying warm and dry.
The time has come to welcome Namu Gaji, a Korean restaurant with a to-go window, to 18th Street. Urban Daddy writes:
This is where you’ll fill your picnic basket on a sunny day en route to the park. Or, after sunset, head here with your date to warm up over rare bottles of sake.
Start with the sliding-glass window on Dolores that opens into the kitchen. You’ll order the street-food goods you often get at the Ferry Building, like the fried chicken and okonomiyaki. Or ice cream alts like sake-infused shaved ice.
Come dinner, choose park-view seats at the bay-laurel counter or at the communal table under the long redwood branch. Try the sizzling plate, which could be anything from squid to pork sisig.
And in video news, hipsters now have their own YouTube show. The Chronicle reports:
Whether they’re ready for it or not, hipsters are about to get their close-up. The loosely defined subculture is the subject of a YouTube channel, American Hipster, that releases its first shows Monday.
The project is an experiment, according to the producers.
“We think a lot of hipsters will hate our channel,” said Peter Furia, a Seedwell co-founder. “But we think some of them will see some value in it. We think people who aren’t so much hipsters will really enjoy learning more about some of these things they’re seeing around them.”
