Richmond’s dining and cultural scene is buzzing with new openings and events. After a three‑year hiatus caused by a fire, the former Chili House location at 726 Clement St. has reopened as Honeymood, a self‑described Asian‑American fusion brunch spot.
Honeymood’s menu leans heavily into creative mash‑ups. Highlights include a “Golden Tokyo” eggs Benedict topped with chicken katsu and kimchi, as well as strawberry matcha French toast. Coffee lovers can also sample specialty drinks such as the “banoffee latte” and “berry bloom matcha.” The venue aims to provide a family‑friendly atmosphere that blends familiar brunch comforts with bold Asian flavors.
New pizza destination in the works
Across town, the former Golden Edge Pizza space at 5351 Geary Blvd. is undergoing construction for a new concept called Bada Bing Pizza. While no official opening date has been announced, fresh signage indicates the project is moving forward, promising another dining option for Richmond residents.
Neighborhood book club and holiday market
The historic nonprofit Western Neighborhoods Project will host a hyper‑local book‑club discussion on Saturday, November 14, at its clubhouse at 1617 Balboa St. The chosen title, At The Edge of the Haight by Katherine Seligman, is a murder‑mystery set in Golden Gate Park during the Summer of Love. The event is free and open to the public; interested readers can RSVP via the provided link.
Later that same day, at 1815 Balboa St., Uncommon SF will run a holiday market from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Shoppers can browse vintage clothing, handcrafted jewelry, and ceramics. Organizers note the market may adjust hours if rain arrives, so visitors should check Uncommon’s Instagram for updates.
Coffee pop‑up adds to High Treason’s offerings
High Treason, the wine bar that recently housed the HI NRG pop‑up, is extending its beverage lineup with a new coffee operation. Low Hurdle, a low‑key coffee pop‑up, will serve select mornings from 443 Clement St.. Patrons can follow the pop‑up on Instagram for the latest schedule.
These additions reflect Richmond’s growing emphasis on diverse, family‑oriented dining and community experiences. Whether you’re looking for a weekend brunch with a twist, a new pizza joint, a literary discussion, or holiday shopping, the neighborhood now offers a richer array of options that support local entrepreneurs and nonprofit initiatives alike.
