Today · Presidio
Four years after the park opened, Building 201 gets its concession: Boda, Dayboat Seafood, Breadwinner, a Wrecking Ball cafe, and a picnic market aimed at residents and the Golden Gate crowd. Consulting chef Peter Serpico put a Baltimore pit-beef sandwich and a Philly-coded porchetta on the Breadwinner board. Doors at 7 a.m.; restaurant menus from 11.

The Chronicle dates Tartine’s first Marin bakery to Wednesday at Strawberry Village in Mill Valley; The Ark says a public soft opening began today. Mess Hall is in its first Monday at Tunnel Tops. Le Mil’s opened Saturday on Polk. Outside Lands is over.
The month, at a table
August 2026 — marked days have a seat at the table
Eater SF and The Infatuation SF were the primary dining desks. A Morris “Seafood Sidewalk Party” appeared only in an aggregator synthesis and was left out. Tụ Tập (San Anselmo) is real but outside the city. The August openings roundup’s Le Mil’s art was generic branded art, not a shop photo — that card is text-only. Bruno’s Infatuation page had a placeholder image. Outside Lands coverage (Eater, Aug. 7) is already past.
Mill Valley · official Wednesday
The Chronicle, this morning: Tartine’s first Marin shop. Bread baked in San Francisco and delivered daily; pastries made in Mill Valley. The Ark (Mill Valley) says staff training started Aug. 13 and a public soft opening began Aug. 17, with the formal opening Aug. 19. Founders Chad Robertson and Liz Prueitt baked in Mill Valley before the 2002 Mission shop.

Presidio · Saturday
The last empty piece of Tunnel Tops Park fills today: three restaurants, a bar, a cafe, and a market in the historic 6,000-square-foot Building 201. Boda does Korean fried chicken and banchan; Dayboat Seafood does hand rolls, oysters, and a Dungeness crab sandwich; Breadwinner — James Beard winner Peter Serpico consulting — does a Baltimore pit-beef sandwich and a porchetta with broccoli raab. Coffee from Wrecking Ball; pastries from Breadbelly; views of the Golden Gate from almost every seat. Patio for 120. Weekdays 7 a.m.–8 p.m. after the opening weekend.

Nob Hill · Saturday
The Indian coffee pop-up from the Newark Farmers Market gets a permanent room: pour-overs, drip, lattes, and chicory coffee. Anand Upender of York Street Collective built a cascara-kokum-hibiscus tonic with salted coconut cream for the opening. No food-photo ran with Eater’s item; the Chronicle is the underlying source.

North Beach · Saturday
Fourth year, now spilling into the park: 36-plus pizzerias and bagelries, a craft-beer lineup, the SF Ooni Pizza Championship, and a live-music stage. Tony Gemignani and the SFIAC Foundation host; proceeds listed for the Salesian Boys & Girls Club and Friends of Washington Square. SFMTA has Stockton and Filbert closed from Friday 5 a.m. through tonight 10 p.m. — the 39 Coit is on a reroute both days. Tickets were preorder-only via Purplepass.

If you are not going to the tasting, you will still feel it: SFMTA closed two blocks beside Washington Square from Friday 5 a.m. through tonight. The 39 Coit misses Stockton & Filbert and Stockton & Union all day Friday and Saturday.

Ximena and Jared Williams move the eggless-concha bakery off Bryant’s “Bakery Row” and into the old Shuggie’s room, with a coffee program added. Eater dated the move to Sept. 12, citing the Standard. Still inside the 90-day window.
