If you're a fan of Humphry Slocombe's ice cream or Flour + Water's Italian food, then you will cheer the news that both owners have projects planned for the large pink building on 20th Street between Florida & Alabama. Parlour by Humphrey Slocombe will be a bakery and cafe, and the Flour + Water owners are planning a restaurant known as Central Kitchen. Living a block away, I can hardly wait until they open!

Gracias Madre, on Mission at 18th Street, is a vegan Mexican food restaurant not just for vegetarians. There's something for everyone: enchiladas, tamales, tacos, tostadas, all with a surprising twist. The food is seasonal and locally grown. It's amazing how they can make cashews taste like sour cream!  The service was casual but accommodating. Give it a try, I don't think you'll be disappointed!
