The part of the tenderloin where Twitter is considering moving is 6th and Market. I personally would call this 'Civic Center', not the loin, but that's a different story. In addition to grease burger and strip club, there is also tu luan, Taqueria Cancun, Showdogs, Passion Cafe, John's Burger, and a number of upstart foodie places. If you're a yuppie who drinks 11 dollar coffee, there is Mint Plaza with the 2 million dollar Blue Bottle, and if you're suburban at heart it's about 2 blocks from the Westfield center. Both muni and Bart stop at civic center, as well as 11 buses and the antique F line trolley. The 101 and Oak street feed right into market street via Octavia, but alas, there is nowhere to park.
- hugh3 16y agoAlright, sixth and Market is about as inoffensive as the Tenderloin gets (with the possible exception of having a reservation at the Bourbon and Branch). Proximity to Westfield and Bluebottle would be a major plus (and, y'know, it's actually only the same price as Starbucks... though I should refrain from recommending Bluebottle to anyone since it's quite crowded enough already).
- rdouble 16y agoDon't get me wrong, it is a zombie movie after dark. I just wouldn't worry too much about getting there or lunch.
- rhizome 16y agoYou're misinformed. The building Twitter is talking about moving to is the San Francisco Mart, which fronts the entire South side of Market St. between 9th and 10th streets. Tu Lan is about a half-mile away.
- rdouble 16y agoAh. Yeah, that's definitely not the tenderloin, but is a wasteland. If that's the case, my whole stance changes and I'm not sure if Brisbane is such a bad option.
