The former Tallio’s Coffee space at 4732 3rd St. has been leased by San Francisco native Mellay Menelik. Although she hasn’t nailed down a concept for the space yet, she plans on starting a new catering, pickup and delivery business in early 2026. After that, she hopes to open a storefront. For now, she says she’s excited to open a business in her city.
All Good Pizza on Jerrold Avenue has posted an application for a new alcohol license. The pizza joint serves Neapolitan style pizzas, salads and paninis. Its hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Star Market and Liquor has posted a public notice of “application for ownership change” on its storefront window, but declined to comment when asked for details of the new ownership.
If you’re looking for a relaxing fall activity, the Bayview/Linda Brooks-Burton Branch library is hosting a Silent Reading Café on Dec. 7 from 2 to 3 p.m. Attendees are encouraged to bring a book of their choice to silently read while enjoying baked goods, coffee and tea. The library is also hosting “Movies for Children” every second Wednesday of the month at 3 p.m. The next movie, “Lilo and Stich,” will be shown on December 10.
For those craving barbecue, Maurice Steuben, owner of Papa Rudy’s food truck, is stationed on 3rd St. between Newcomb and Oakdale Avenues from Thursday through Sunday. On Thursdays, his hours range from 2 to 7 p.m., and Friday to Sunday he can be found from 12 to 7 p.m.
I’d go to 3rd St more often if it was easier to bike around there. 3rd St itself is an auto speedway, and the designated bike routes that zig zag across it are meandering, often hilly, and you still get squeezed by impatient car drivers.
Take a bus then. Being afraid of cars is laughable.
It’s the low density zoning that keeps it a car oriented, retail challenging, neighborhood.
It had a chance to change a little when the gateway to it, the Bayview industrial triangle, went up for a rezoning vote as proposed mixed use but Walton wanted to keep it industrial so it’ll continue to act as a buffer between it and the rest of the city. No mechanisms to increase foot traffic on 3rd so no much hope for most businesses.
“Bicycle panacea YIMBY thoughts, by Jack Handey”
“If we just get rid of the people who own their homes and force them into market-rate condos and take away their personal transportation in favor of ableist options, the elderly impoverished will just pick up a bicycle and prosper!”
It’s sad that nothing can turn this historical neighborhood around, like they’ve done to the Mission,Soma, and even parts of Visitation valley. I saw a restaurant on Check Please, called,2 brother’s fish place, and it was gone, less than 2 weeks after the show aired. If you take a walk around the neighborhood, there are lots of craftsman style houses,but the main through fare 3rd street, is sad.
It is tough to turn around the general perception that this area is crime-ridden and dangerous, at least as you go further south from Mission Bay..
It doesn’t help much to repeat that as a mantra daily despite you never actually going there to see for yourself…
I have been there, hence my inside knowledge.
Have you?
