Swan Oyster Depot is the counter offer for any request involving the Wharf, cable cars, and cracked crab. Take Muni to the Embarcadero, find the California cable car terminus, and ride the less-crowded car over Nob Hill to California and Polk, where you can line up for a stool at Swan Oyster Depot. Order enough cherry stone clams on the half shell, shrimp cocktail, and yes, cracked crab, and your guests may forget that they're not within spitting distance from Bubba Gump's.

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
