The List

Hump This

Eat: Toast Eatery
3991 24th St, at Noe; Noe Valley; 415.642.6328

The Noe Valley giganta-breakfast purveyor is opening a new, chromed-out 45-seat spot on 24th, complete with 20ft stainless-steel bar. In addition to its venerated omelets, scramblers, french toast, burgers, and specialty sandos (crispy chicken, french dip, etc), this location'll be whipping up strawberry/chocolate/vanilla milkshakes. So expect to fight through a yard full of boys.

Gear: WSTSDMKT
at True (and online); 1415 Haight St, at Masonic; Upper Haight; 415.626.2112

True's just stocked its online store with a smattering of ironical pop-tees from this local brand (West Side Market, if Sajak wasn't such a jerk about vowels). Subjects range from Wesley Snipes deities to Enter the Dragon meets BMX, but the standout's "Psycho", in which a grainy Mike Tyson brandishes a kitchen knife, as it'd be rude to eat Lennox Lewis's children without first cutting them into easily chewable pieces.

Download: Hotspotr Mobile

The SF-based website that plots free WiFi spots and aggregates user reviews of signal strength, outlet availability, and food, has just gone mobile. Punch in your number online and you'll get a text linking you to the app; download it, and quit stumbling around with your laptop, looking for a place that has WiFi so you can find a place that has WiFi.

Eat: Asuka Ramen & Curry
883 Bush St, at Taylor; Nob Hill; 415.567.3153

This 30-seat ramen shop sports 2- and 4-tops, a polished-wood bar overlooking the open kitchen, and a solid selection of Japanese beer/wine/sake. Appes run from gyoza to tori kara-aga (lightly-fried chicken), with mains the likes of donburis, curries, pork/bamboo/onion/miso ramens, and pan-fried yakisoba with "Japanese Worcestershire" -- beefing up your condiment arsenal with another sauce that you can't spell.

Lid: Oakland A's X Raiders?

The self-proclaimed best place to find rare New Era online has released a fitted A's cap with a silver-embroidered, black-backgrounded "Stomper" the elephant, plus a flossy metallic silver bill. Production's limited to 30, in honor of the number of elephants actually still living in the wild.
