Papusas: The Taco Alternative at Balompie Cafe
With all the talk about Mission Burritos and Taco Trucks, people tend to forget that Mexicans aren’t the only ones in the Mission cooking up delicious dishes from their homeland. Of course, there are a ton of Peruvian places around town these days and there’s that Venezuelan place on Valencia,
Bargain Buys at East Village Cheese
Friends are fun. Having friends over to your house is fun. Buying snacks for your always-hungry friends when they come over, however, is not so fun. I usually forget about the latter in a frenzy of excitement over the former (“I get to wear slippers while being social! Score!”), so

Coating Your Stomach at Rossi’s Deli

Finger on The Pulse BBQ Blowout
Since taking a “break from food”, to open up his own bar, Lady Jays, star chef Sam Mason still knows how to throw a mean BBQ. One a month, New York magazine has been teaming up local chefs with DJ’s and buzz bands to create one delicious spectacle with their
Cheap Beach Eats at Rockaway Taco

Cheap Sandwiches at Rhea’s Deli
Rhea’s Deli is my solution to pricey Bi-Rite picnic food. I love hanging out in Dolores Park all day with some good eats and cold brews just like everybody else, but I can’t handle paying for Bi-Rite’s expensive (albeit delicious) made to-go selections every time the sun is out on
