			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://travel.nytimes.com/2008/07/13/travel/13surfacing.html?scp=1&amp;sq=hipster%20hunting%20ground&amp;st=cse"><img src='http://img.metblogs.com/sf/files/2008/07/0713-tra-websurfacingmap.gif' alt='0713-tra-websurfacingmap.gif' align="right" /></a>I always get a little nervous when I see San Francisco listed on the front page of the Sunday New York Times travel section. A haute restaurant here, a travel deal there: frequently their writing about places outside of the greater New York area seems to have an air of superiority. When I was in Chicago they ran a piece about Wicker Park that seemed condescending (to the effect of &#8220;Look at these funky people who live here! How quaint.&#8221;)</p>
<p>Yesterday&#8217;s piece on Valencia Street, &#8220;<a href="http://travel.nytimes.com/2008/07/13/travel/13surfacing.html?scp=1&amp;sq=hipster%20hunting%20ground&amp;st=cse">Hipster Hunting Ground</a>,&#8221; wasn&#8217;t quite as offensive, but it still seemed to view the Corridor through a Brooklyn lens. The Curiosity Shoppe, Paxton Gate, Spork, and Ritual Roasters were all featured, and fairly. I was surprised, however, that Dosa was featured while Range didn&#8217;t get a mention; the same for Little Star (maybe I&#8217;m just a sucker for the jukebox and heirloom tomatoes). The piece, while limited in length, doesn&#8217;t capture the neighborhood&#8217;s character and even gets lazy toward the end: &#8220;Like the street itself, [Amnesia's] lineup is full of surprises.&#8221; </p>
