Colleen Barrett | December 10, 2010 7:41 amNamed after the highway running through Burgundy, France, RN74 (301 Mission St., 415-543-7474) is like the love child of French rustic and city polish. Candlelight glows from within its sleek but plush interior, transforming the bottom floor of the Millennium Tower into a scaled-down French train station that's been set for dinner.
Wine may be the main course — a European train station schedule flips letters to highlight last-bottle deals throughout the night — but updated, American takes on provincial French favorites have eyes on center stage.Read More
Colleen Barrett | December 1, 2010 8:16 amThe average gift shop is a cubbyhole of cuteness that's useless. A good one should make you covet something you don't need, but an extraordinary one is disarming. It convinces you life would be easier, sleeker, and more civilized if only you took the object of your affection home.Read More
Colleen Barrett | November 18, 2010 9:17 amIn a city that chooses cutting-edge over custom, the nearly 20-year-old Slow Club (2501 Mariposa St., 415-241-9390) shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, if you stumbled upon its vintage-looking exterior in the Mission's most eastern stretch, you'd be forgiven for assuming it's new.
Concrete floors and walls cement its industrial feel, but candlelight exudes warmth — a welcomed sight on the otherwise desolate corner of Mariposa (between 17th and 18th) and Hampshire.Read More
Colleen Barrett | November 11, 2010 10:27 amWhen friends and family start having babies, a whole new shopping genre opens up; unfortunately, there's no secret baby district you haven't heard of yet. So while you may need to leave your 'hood, you shouldn't have to go far with these aww-inspiring shops around town.
Fiddlesticks (540 Hayes St., 415-565-0508) in Hayes Valley should be a first stop for the childless and clueless.Read More
Colleen Barrett | November 3, 2010 9:26 pmStep off Valencia's crowded sidewalk and into this mechanic's garage turned wine bar. Heart (1270 Valencia St., 415-285-1200) has one ambition in life: leave the pretension of wine tasting behind and invite the convivial bar spirit in.
This being the Mission — and the owner (Jeff Segal) being a 26-year-old who dreams in red, white, and rosé — its heart is more visceral than Valentine.Read More
Colleen Barrett | November 3, 2010 6:56 pmGo digging for flea market finds and handmade crafts at Gravel & Gold (3266 21st St. 415-552-0112), a '70s-inspired California dream of a store. The small but spacious shop is like a glamorous cabin in the woods moved to the corner of 21st and Lexington (between Valencia and Mission). Its three lady owners personally source the captivating mix of vintage and new clothes, kitchen- and homewares, and rare but inspired books (think '70s self-help), then tell each maker's story in a handwritten note on display.Read More
