Divisadero corridor greets new businesses
From the Examiner, “As the Divisadero corridor sees an influx of new businesses including a hip new pizza place and art gallery bar, it’s no surprise that developers are eyeing the once sleepy area.”
“A new restaurant called NOPA, for “North of the Panhandle” as the neighborhood is sometimes called, is slated to open soon in an old laundry near Hayes Street. Sameer Nasser, who owns a liquor store at Divisadero and Fell streets, plans to open Ziryab, a Mediterranean restaurant, across the street in January.”
“Faced over the years with interest by Burger King and Domino’s Pizza in moving in, the neighborhood supported legislation that bans chain stores.”
I’ve lived in this neighborhood for nearly ten years now, and am happy to see some change, especially with the addition of restaurants… There has been a dramatic lack of options available on both Divisadero and Fulton…
NOPA? Whay kind of name is that? Take pride in what the neighborhood is, the Western Addition
