While 30th Street has developed over the past decade into one of the best craft beer corridors in the US (perhaps the world), the irresistibly sensual wonderland of craft cocktails have been all but absent until now.
Besides Jayne’s Gastropub, it’s been difficult to find a spot along 30th to slide into a discreet corner with your date and share in the warming indulgence of finely crafted spirits (keyphase, finely crafted) paired with an equally delicious meal. Luckily for locals exploring a nightlife, El Take It Easy recently obtained their liquor license, ushering in an evolved era for 30th Street.
Read more about the cocktails, developed with Dean James of San Francisco’s Alembic. We recommend trying the Paloma with hand-squeezed grapefruit juice and 100% Agave. You can thank us later.
Pop Gallery in Culver City is hosting a closing reception Friday, June 10th for SUNSET CIRCLES — a show feat. a group of San Francisco artists, including the talented Jay Nelson (see above). This reminded us of our enlightened wanderings around The Sunset district of San Francisco last winter, where we encountered one of Jay’s custom built bicycle mobiles at Mollusk Surf Shop (also home to some ambitious indoor treehouses and an art ‘store’ by Thomas Campbell). Within a couple blocks, you’ll run into the General Store and Trouble Coffee (for coffee, coconuts & toast of course). So worth a visit.

What a rad undertaking by the supper club A Razor, A Shiny Knife. On the 1st of May, they served up a 6 course luncheon on the L train of the New York Subway. Their noble objective, “to challenge a habitual experience.”
Amen.

What a lovely way to start the day! Jaime from Spanish textile brand peSeta sent us this documentary about a very special series of bicycle caps they’ve designed+manufactured for the New Museum of New York City. We think you’ll like it…
What’s not to like? Bicycle caps made by a bicycle powered sewing machine: available at the New Museum shop (235 Bowery, NYC).
Check out their site for sweet little pieces – from bowties to the Ukelele Bag for Marc Jacobs.

Our friends at Sheepless are co-hosting a screening of The Greenhorns on Tuesday April 19th, 6:30pm, at The Loft at UCSD. Directed by Severine von Tscharner Fleming, and grown out of a grassroots non-profit organization of the same name, the film’s mission is to recruit, promote and support the new generation of young farmers in 21st century America. Following the film will be a panel discussion with some of San Diego’s most provocative advocates of small-scale sustainable agriculture — including Robin Taylor & Lucila De Alejandro of Suzie’s Farm and Jay Porter of The Linkery and El Take It Easy.
Zanzibar at The Loft is working with the folks at Suzie’s Farm to produce a local tasting experience to accompany the film. The dinner will feature multiple small plates created with fresh, local, and seasonal produce from Suzie’s Farm. Packaged tickets for the film and dinner includes a reserved seat, dinner, choice of beverage, and admission to the screening of The Greenhorns. Package or film-only tickets available via Ticketmaster or by contacting the Box Office directly at 858-534-8497.
