The produce place down the street from Drewes at 30th/Church is also both great and affordable.<BR/>I think we need more like the new place that just opened off 24th on Diamond, "Just Awesome". A game store that offers a game room to play in! Interactive places with activities, like Terra Mia, so that it's not just dining. Also, Noe Valley Deli offers substantial and delicious sandwiches and more for a decent price and quickly!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008050911800805999.post-16577741160001860832009-01-19T11:13:00.000-08:002009-01-19T11:13:00.000-08:00Restaurants are hard because the residents who liv...Restaurants are hard because the residents who live above or behind the restaurants are not super keen on them.

Nothing wrong with the current selection, they just get kinda boring when you eat out most nights. <BR/><BR/>Looks like almost all the commenters want more eating places -- so why do we still have that stupid restaurant moratorium?

I second the other person that said affordable, tasty, healthy fast-ish food. A great ramen place like Genki, Udon shop like Hotei, Indian like Kasa, etc. I also love the idea of a good Jewish deli!!! We could also use a modern kids furniture/accessories store, Crate and Barrel type home accessories store, a great t-shirt/sweatshirt shop like Upper Playground and a modern gift shop for presents like the MOMA store. I would love to see a tea lounge like Samovar, and a casual, affordable WINE BAR with tiny bites- like cicchetti pubs in Venice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008050911800805999.post-34359030191028718272009-01-12T14:52:00.000-08:002009-01-12T14:52:00.000-08:00whole Foods is going to take care of the independe...whole Foods is going to take care of the independent fish monger/butcher.
