What’s Up in San Francisco
W RD ON THE STREET
The most ridiculous things we’ve overheard in San Francisco recently
“My life in California is built on lies.”
“He’s never read Harry Potter
books. It never would have
worked out.” “My bed is
replacing you as my best friend.”
“I wish my life had Command + Z.”
“I mean, if they FACE OF THE ’HOOD Charles Bililies 36, owner of Souvla restaurant in Hayes Valley
How did you get into the restaurant business? I’m probably one of the rare few who actually went to school for this! My grandfather owned and operated restaurants on the East Coast years ago. A lot of the copper and brass pots in Souvla came from him.
Why did you decide to open Souvla in Hayes Valley? I decided to live in Hayes, too! It’s such a great neighborhood. It has a bit of a small-town feel in the middle of the city. We’re surrounded by awesome places to shop, drink and eat, and there are always people out in Patricia’s Green and PROXY, the outdoor spaces in the middle of the neighborhood.

How has the ’hood changed since Souvla first opened? It’s become busier, for sure. We’re also seeing more savvy tourists, both American and from overseas.
Top three favorite spots in Hayes? My wife and I are creatures of habit, so we have our go-tos, and they usually have to do with drinking and eating. In no particular order: Zuni Café (1658 Market St; 415-552- 2522,
zunicafe.com) for oysters, Caesar salad and roast chicken; Birba (458 Grove St; 415-549- 7612,
birbawine.com) for a glass of wine and a snack; and Domo (511 Laguna St; 415-861- 8887,
domo.com), our friendly neighborhood sushi spot. ■ Sarah Medina
oversteep a black tea, then they
can really fuck up a green tea.”
“I’m not sure if I’ve ever been to a patio.”
“You’ve never eaten outside!?!”
“Show me how to use the light
switch. Do I need to download an app?”
“Pants are overrated.”
