We’ll be celebrating Orthodox Easter this weekend, and so I’m getting ready to go and make my mom’s tsoreki. Vegan-ized. (Those of you who know my mom’s tsoreki just gasped.) That’s right: no eggs! And my brother challenged me to a tsoreki bake-off, and we are not an uncompetitive family. The Tsoreki Challenge of 2015 IS ON.
From around the web this week:
Riding on yesterday’s SF Rent Quiz post, here’s a (not entirely funny ha ha) funny music video of what it’s like to find an apartment in SF. I call shenanigans on that kitchen, though. Granite countertops? Real kitchen cabinets? Come now.
48 Hills is wondering how the new private Leap buses are getting around the ADA. How are they getting around the ADA?
The Bold Italic is ceasing operations, but their archive will still be up for a few more months. Now’s the time to check out their SF Neighborhood Guide if you haven’t already.
Those of you who live here may also be wondering about the rash of fires breaking out across the city, seemingly every week. Mission Local has been doing some excellent reporting on the fires and the aftermath, including a 4-alarm fire that tore through their own office building two months ago. This past week, they published an in-depth piece on what happens years later, when the buildings have been rebuilt and the original tenants have a right to return.
Muni will be kicking off their largest service increase since the 1970s on April 25. Some of the changes include added service to the 30-Stockton, which seems to be a quick response to the popularity of those Leap and Chariot bus lines. Here’s to hoping your commute gets better!
Lots of San Francisco coverage this week!
A friend doing a stint in New York this month insists that everyone is wearing wide-brimmed, floppy hats. We’ll see. They just look so…fussy.
The holy grail of kid’s pants (pants that look like normal pants but feel like sweat pants) are now on sale at Hanna Andersson. Go buy a pair in each color.
After obsessing over white paints all week, I finally signed onto Houzz. I’ll see you all again some time next year, once I finish looking through all these photos of wainscoting.
Have a great weekend everyone! And Christos Anesti, Greeks!
