Balboa Café

Editorial Review

Buckingham Palace for SF royalty. Mayor Gavin Newsom’s pet project (aside from the city itself, that is). Power politicos talk urban planning over Maker’s Mark at the corner table, while finance types and gold-diggers clink glasses of PlumpJack wine at the mahogany bar. It’s like a retirement community for the Greek system. “I only come for the burgers.” Sure you do, honey, sure you do.
