Revolution would be my favorite, ‘cept for the soundtrack
Yesterday I ducked into Revolution on 22nd between Mission and Valencia to wind down with a book and a beer. This is a classic cafe, open to the sidewalk, with a local artist hanging her project: scraps of paper with photos or drawings on them, entitled “Men I Picked Up on the Street.” Subtract the blaring Pet Shop Boys and you get a good vibe. Espresso, beer, wine, sangria and live music later on makes for a great place to meet a friend after work.
Hmm, blaring Pet Shop Boys. Enought to keep me away.
Funny, they usually have pretty good live music there – maybe the PSBs were just to keep people out long enough for the artist to hang her stuff without having to crawl over patrons? Giving ’em the benefit of the doubt…
