Black Jet Bakery<\/a>, a beloved bakery in Bernal Heights, is opening its second location in the Outer Sunset at Judah and 46th Avenue as Black Jet Luncheonette.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It will take over the 325-square-foot storefront at 4033 Judah St., which was once home to Damn Fine Coffee<\/a>. Before that, it was home to Trouble Coffee, which occupied the space for 15 years, and was credited with starting the toast craze<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For years, Black Jet Bakery delivered pastries to first Trouble and then Damn Fine. When Laura Seymour, Damn Fine\u2019s owner, decided to close the cafe last October, the owners of Black Jet weren\u2019t really looking for a second location \u2014 but it fell on their lap.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a beautiful space. We love the history of it and love the neighborhood, so why not?\u201d said Black Jet co-owner Gillian Shaw Lundgren. \u201cIt\u2019s a perfect fit.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Luncheonette is aiming to open in June, just in time for San Francisco summer. It will continue serving its \u201cheavy-hitters\u201d like sour cream coffee cake and the Pat Greaney, its signature breakfast sandwich on an east coast inspired Bulkie roll.<\/p>\n

At the Outer Sunset location, the bakery will lean in heavily on savory items and have a rotating sandwich menu. Black Jet\u2019s co-owner Max Newman, former chef and baker at Zuni Caf\u00e9, will be the mastermind behind that.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The owners, who signed the lease in January, are excited about the parklet in front of the Judah location. Here, customers can sit down and enjoy a sandwich, while its Bernal location doesn\u2019t have any seating.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The owners have been seeking inspiration from fish and chips shops in London and want to go for the vibes of an old Italian deli. Shaw Lundgren\u2019s 12-pound terrier named Gus \u2014 she takes Gus to the beach three times a week \u2014 may also have a special appearance in the store design.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

With neighbors like the restaurant Outerlands, Woods and the surf shop Mollusk, Shaw Lundgren said, \u201cWe have everything that we could possibly need.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

La Linda<\/a>, a Mexican cafe at 2255 Taraval St, opened its doors in early December and held a grand opening with coffee and DJs on a Sunday last month.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Located below a four-story apartment building, the cafe serves breakfast burritos, cochinita pibil sandwiches, and tres leches concha french toast.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It endured a \u201cslow\u201d couple of months during the holiday season, when people went out of town and the winter storms kept residents at home, according to cafe manager Genaro Ruiz.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In recent months, business was \u201cokay,\u201d and mornings are much busier than dinner time, Ruiz said. Still, on a recent Thursday around 6 p.m., the restaurant was quiet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ruiz works another restaurant job at Embarcadero, and said business there is much better. \u201cThe problem is the economy,\u201d Ruiz said. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing you can do.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"PeopleAnnual post-parade party at United Irish Cultural Center. <\/p>\n

The Sunset District, once an Irish enclave, is getting ready for Saint Patrick\u2019s Day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This Saturday starting at 11:30 a.m., the annual San Francisco St. Patrick\u2019s Day parade<\/a> will take over Market Street, marching from 2nd Street and Market to Civic Center.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After the parade, the Irish United Cultural Center in the Outer Sunset is hosting its annual post-parade party<\/a> from 2 to 11 p.m. (!) at 2700 45th Ave. There will be a corned beef feast, live bands and Irish dancing \u2014 and probably a lot of booze.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the Little Shamrock<\/a> in the Inner Sunset, the city\u2019s second oldest bar (apparently after the Saloon in North Beach) opened in 1893, the festivities are also underway.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cCome throw down a pint or ten with us and let us make merry while we still can,\u201d the bar\u2019s Instagram post reads. Get to the bar on March 17, and enjoy the free corned beef, cabbage and potatoes, while supplies last.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Over at city hall, District 4 Supervisor Alan Wong announced a \u201cdumb law\u201d contest<\/a> on Wednesday afternoon, inviting residents to submit \u201coutdated, overly complicated, or simply unnecessary laws\u201d by March 30.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Wong gave the examples of the city regulation on bread<\/a>, which prohibits carrying bread through public streets in open baskets or exposed containers, and on chickens<\/a>, which limit the number of fowls in residential areas to four, but didn\u2019t specify hens or roosters.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of these may be humorous or surprising, but many reflect real challenges people face on interacting with city governments,\u201d Wong said, sitting next to supporter Frank Noto, co-founder of Stop Crime SF.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The winner, which will be announced in late April, will receive a certificate of recognition. Also, Wong said, \u201cthe dumb law might even get repealed.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

On social media, Wong\u2019s constituents seem to have mixed feelings. Some were eager to share their fair share of dumb laws contributions, such as daylighting rules, parking tickets in one\u2019s own driveway and even district-wide elections.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Others are more skeptical, saying it should be the supervisor\u2019s responsibility to \u201cweed out\u201d and identify these laws.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe do the job, instead of outsourcing it to your constituents,\u201d posted Tyler Stegall<\/a> on Nextdoor.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cSunset Buzz\u201d is a recurring column on changes, tidbits and other news from the Sunset.
