The city provided a continental breakfast of "coffee, bagels, orange wedges, and blueberries" (delicious!) as well as temporary encampment tents for those that they evicted from Golden Gate Park at 4:30 a.m. this morning. (You can read Chron's article about it here, and SF Examiner's here.) SFPD and city outreach workers sounded the alarm for this election-year effort to clean-up the park. And "after eight hours' work, 44 people accepted the offer of a roof......

Noah's Bagels are similar to other pale imitations of a superior products: they are akin, say, to low-carb anything, sugar-free candy, Tofurkey, etc. Of course, there are decent examples of situations in which one would want to consume less sugar, carbs, or avoid meat. What's the excuse for eating bagels that are more like Wonderbread? Usually desperation. Or convenience. Which brings us to the point: Noah's is hyping the celebration of its 18th birthday....

Here's todays wrap up of the news...

This would have been even more awesome if it had been on top of a moving train. The police in Berkeley used a hook-and-ladder truck to conduct a manhunt on Telegraph Avenue rooftops after the robbery of a Noah's Bagels at around 6 a.m. Monday morning. After what was described as a tense "building-by-building, rooftop-by-rooftop search," the man was located on top of a building and arrested without further incident. Ah, the Stanford police blotter,......

There's a lot of transporation stories today, so here's your compendium, if you will, of stories....

--We missed this yesterday, but it's still awesome. Who's put security cameras in Chris Daly's office? --Your SF school board candidates. --More bus-only lanes on Geary, please. --$1 billion for Facebook? --The Albion Hotel in the Mission by Katz's Bagels gets sued. --Mark Fainaru-Wada and Lance Williams may go to jail. --A poignant profile of the homeless Asian man shot to death in San Mateo earlier this month. --The man who wrote Celluloid San Francisco......

If you've been like us, you've been reading all sorts of stories about terrorist plots in a whole bunch of cities that aren't the Bay Area and feeling kind of jealous. Hey, terrorists, what about us? Aren't we good enough to terrorize? Are we not infidel enough? Does our lack of good bagels preclude us from being part of the International Zionist Conspiracy? Luckily, reports have been coming out saying that yes indeed, the Bad Guys have been looking our way and plotting some terror. ...

Please welcome contributing SFist Bailey (that's her on the left) and her guardian, Stan, and they sniff out (ha!) the dog-friendliest spots in the City. Welcome to the Year of the Dog. To celebrate and honor this year, we will keep our paws to the ground and our nose in the air to uncover all the best places to whine and dine at the generosity of others. This is a column for all the......

Ever since SFist has lived in San Francisco, we've heard one complaint more than any other--"why can't we get a decent bagel in this town?" Well, that and. "why can't we build more housing in this city?" For a closer look at the reason why we can't (build more housing, not get better bagels), one just has to look at several recent stories to see why it is that we're all paying way too much......

Sci-fi geeks may have the upcoming Star Wars movie, but to political geeks, their Revenge of the Sith may just be this Friday when UC Berkeley hosts a discussion with New York Times' columnists Thomas Friedman AND Maureen Dowd. It's like the Sunday edition of the New York Times come to life except without the coffee and bagels. Seeing these two super-stud columnists together is like the "Real World/Road Rules Challenges" before they became overdone......

Great delivery pizza in Berkeley? It's true!...

Some things just go with certain places: clocks with the Swiss, bagels and New York, Arizona and snowbirds. Occasionally you encounter something that claims to be from one place even though it is clearly from another. Such is the case with the allegedly New York band, Scissor Sisters, who performed at the Fillmore last night. Professing to be the cure for the crowd’s Folsom Street Fair hangovers, the Scissor Sisters spent two hours conclusively......

Avoiding messy spills for yet another week....
