Over three years after a fire put the Beijing-style Peking duck spot Chili House out of business, the storefront at 726 Clement St. is once again open, now as a self-described Asian-American fusion brunch spot called Honeymood. The long menu reveals that Honeymood really isnโ€™t kidding about the fusion. Dishes include a โ€œGolden Tokyoโ€ style eggs benedict with chicken katsu and kimchi, and strawberry matcha french toast.ย 

Honeymood also serves caffeinated concoctions with names like โ€œbanoffee latteโ€ and โ€œberry bloom matcha.โ€

Thereโ€™s a new pizza shop coming for the former Golden Edge Pizza at 5351 Geary Blvd. Construction work is underway, and new signs show the name โ€œBada Bing Pizza,โ€ though no official opening date has been announced.

The historical nonprofit Western Neighborhoods Project will host a highly neighborhood specific โ€œbook clubโ€ discussion Saturday Nov. 14 at its clubhouse at 1617 Balboa St., at 6 p.m.

The book at hand is โ€œAt The Edge of the Haightโ€ by Katherine Seligman, a murder-mystery novel about a teenage runaway in Golden Gate Park during the Summer of Love. 

The event is free to attend. RSVP here.

Also on Nov. 14th, at 1815 Balboa St., Uncommon SF will host a holiday market from 11 a.m. to 3, featuring vintage clothing and craft jewelry and ceramics. That event is subject to change on account of the rain, so check Uncommonโ€™s Instagram for updates.ย

High Treason, the wine bar that until recently hosted HI NRG, is keeping on with the wine bar/coffee symbiosis with a new pop-up. Low Hurdle appears to be a low-key operation slinging coffee out of 443 Clement St on select mornings. Find them on Instagram.
