New Location for Tender Greens 

One of our favorite salad spots in the city, Tender Greens just launched it's 17th location in SoMa. New to the menu and unique to the King Street location, stop by to try the Sweet Potato Noodle Salad made with kale, farmers market vegetables, and finished with housemade kimchi shitake soy vinaigrette.

New Restaurant Openings 

The TL just got a new neighbor in Tender (850 Geary), a wine and beer project from Miriam Lipton. Take a seat for local varietals on tap and SF-brewed beers while you snack on one of their delicious cheese and charcuterie boards. Meanwhile, Brenda's Meat & Three (919 Divisadero) is slinging stuffed johnnycakes, calas fritters, and Brenda’s famed cream biscuits for breakfast and low-country gumbo, pulled pork sandos, a seafood po’boy, and spicy fried chicken for lunch. And we haven't even mentioned dinner yet .... oh, boy.
