Boulevard
Address: One Mission Street, San Francisco, CA 94105
Entering Boulevard’s doors is like stepping inside of a Toulouse-Lautrec painting. With its elegant mosaics, stylized wood accents, and softly glowing atmosphere, designer Pat Kuleto has captured the romance of the iconic Parisian bistro, elevating the historic building to the heights of its period artistry. Chef Nancy Oake’s culinary creations are themselves works of art. Each French-influenced dish is like a sculpture, consisting of layered components in a delicate balance of color and flavor that is as pleasing to the eyes as it is to the taste buds. Dripping with Belle Époque glamour and the flowery beauty of Art Nouveau, Boulevard is a delightfully ostentatious escapade.

Spork
Address: 1058 Valencia Street, San Francisco, CA 94110
Diners have lots of choices when exploring the culinary landscape in the Mission District.
One oasis shines among all the others: Spork. This former location of a Kentucky Fried Chicken has been transformed into a stylish-hip dining spot. Their name is a take on the utensil “spork,” which was introduced in the 1960’s by KFC. The interior utilizes “recycled” parts of the former fast food location. Ingredients for the daily changing American-style menu include sustainable produce and all-natural meats and seafood. The global wine list (glass and bottles) is supported by a wide variety of “specialty” beers.
