Lower Haight Leftovers: 12/16 Edition
Hope you're hungry, because we've got tamales, waffles, parties, updates on Bi-Rite and Maven, and more -- all in this week's leftovers.


A very reliable source tells us that the new Bi-Rite on Divisadero, which was originally expected to open last September but then was delayed until January, won't be opening until the May/June timeframe now. No additional details are available, so we're banishing this tidbit to leftovers.
This afternoon, from 2pm to 6pm, Duboce Park Cafe will host Sivan from Suite Foods, who will be cooking waffles "live, to order with fresh toppings." This is a one-time-only event, apparently, so if you like waffles, get on over to DPC.
Tonight, Groove Merchant Records celebrates 20 years in business with a party at SOM in the Mission. Expect plenty of great music and a "very special secret guest." The party is $10 presale, $15 at the door, and is scheduled for 10pm to 3am tonight at SOM (2925 16th St).
Also tonight, it's the second (and hopefully not final) installment of American Tripps at D-Structure. Berlin-style ping pong, beer and whiskey, a DJ, and good times. Doors open at 8:30pm, and it's $5 to get in.
On Sunday, Twisted Tamales returns to 735 Page Street, selling untraditional varieties like Tikka Masala Chicken, Spicy Korean Pork, and Vegan (Japanese curry with mushrooms). Chef/owner Troy Henry will be offering the bites from 10am to 3pm.
520 Waller Street, the space currently occupied by Cloud 9 Wireless, is available for rent. It's 1,100 square feet for $3,000 a month.
In other real estate news, the New Santa Clara Market is apparently for sale for $350,000, although it has been on the market before, so, take with a grain of salt.
Finally, yes, Maven is opening to the public soon. No, it won't be tonight. Yes, it could be Monday, depending on inspections. No, it's not certain. Yes, we'll let you know as soon as we know otherwise.
