Mission Mission

By Plug1.

Sunday night at Beauty Bar: Lux Lives!

For the duration of an extended happy hour (5-10pm), CRAMPS DANCE PARTY!! I’ll be there with bells on. And if you need another reason, dig it. What a vocal!

He was the first American President to sleep on Guatemalan soil. So says Becca.

Dear Reputable International News Media Conglomerate,

That was totally a joke

Love,

Mission Mission

The scoop:

We started making bread! We’re doing a late afternoon batch of French Baguettes. Made from organic ingredients. Get ‘em while they’re hot!

Also, new savory bread pudding.

Curbed has already selected its Epic Comment of the Month — and it’s only February 6th!! An excerpt:

My friends and I are totally hoping to get a great apartment in the mission (that’s the neighborhood between valencia and dolores, and 24th and 15th–I read about it in C magazine’s travel section, they had a great article about it). I was hoping you guys could help. It needs to have parking (I totally need to learn how to ride public transportation, but until then, I just *can’t* move without my car ha ha!) We also need a big space, with hardwood floors, laundry, and some nice new appliances (oh, and a dishwasher–I totally *don’t* do dishes ha ha.) We want to be around authentic restaurants, that the locals would go to. Like Foreign Cinema. Or restaurants that are totally unique to the Mish and don’t exist anywhere else (like Luna Park). Dive Bars are a MUST! And we totally would love to live in an authentic live/work space. I will be working in the financial district.

We lucked upon some of these at MSF a couple weeks ago, but forgot to mention them. Luckily, Thrillist reminded us that they’re now available at Elixir:

Basically the Doritos of Latin America, these light & crispy deep-fried swine skins’re made by the former Orson chef in his home kitchen (just down the street from Elixir), and’ll run you $3.50 a bag, $2.50 with a beer — savings you’re probably supposed to leave as a tip, unless you’re a greedy pig, and thus, a cannibal.

This week’s Bay Area print edition of The Onion — their Best of SF issue — includes a feature on Mission Street Food and other local piratical restaurateurs. Burrito Justice and Mission Mission get mentions. So if you’ve ever wanted to see our URLs in print, now’s your chance.

Go Mission!

If you haven’t yet had the pleasure, tomorrow just might be the perfect day to check out the bevy of unique businesses that make up the delicate flower that is Valencia Street between 14th and 22nd Streets.

Special events and discounts await at every turn. For instance: McSweeney’s is having a sidewalk sale, Ritual is offering $2 double shots of espresso, Curiosity Shoppe is hosting a Valentine making workshop, and Gestalt is pouring $3 beers.

See GetLocalSF.com for handy-dandy map and complete details.

Thanks, mcas!
