Morning Buzz: A Foodie Day Planner
Let's do lunch:
Want a tip from SF Weekly eater-in-chief Meredith Brody? Don't miss the shrimp and cilantro dumplings at Canton in SoMa (655 Folsom at Hawthorne, 495-3064).
Drink therapy:
Go all boy crazy on the cheap at a shiny new Castro club, with two-for-one cocktails at a happy hour that runs longer than a White Party tea dance. Trigger (2344 Market near Castro, 551-2582), 4-10 p.m.
Who doesn't love budget boozing with a view? Throw in a slash-priced California roll and you'll never want to leave your barstool. Chaya Brasserie (132 The Embarcadero near Mission, 777-8688), 4-8 p.m.
Extra credit:
The weather's turning vernal, and what could be more springlike than strawberries? As if on cue, Strawberry Week starts tonight: Fifty-seven restaurants spotlighting the tiny fruit in a big way, with special drinks and dishes through May 24th. Pay with your Visa Signature card and you'll score a strawberry-themed cookbook featuring recipes from some of the city's hottest chefs.
