The former Second Story space above Cellar Door Coffee, on Southeast 11th Avenue, will transform into Fenrir, starting April 2.

The 40-seat restaurant, named after the monstrous wolf in Norse mythology, will be drawing heavily from Scandinavian cuisine, serving dishes such as rollmops made with mackerel (instead of the traditional herring), caul fat sausage and raw lamb. The menu will gradually shift with the seasons, changing once or twice a month.

After the Civil War, Horace Wilson left his farm for Japan, where he introduced baseball. He's a legend there, something his relatives, including NPR's Theo Balcomb, didn't know for generations.

My husband (right), enjoying his time at the farmers market.

Spring is officially here, which means cooks across the country are looking forward to the opening of their local farmers market. What could be better than strolling through stands brimming with fresh fruits and vegetables, chatting with the farmer who grew the chard you're about to buy, your happy partner by your side? Right?

Um, yeah. About that. Now is also the perfect time to take a moment to ask yourself this question: Does my partner actually like going to the farmers market as much as I do? Because there's a good chance the answer is a resounding NO.

The Literal Fire – J. Crew Inferno Orange 998

The current New Balance mania that’s cutting through the sneaker world like a Vibram soled tornado has all the makings of a lost Malcolm Gladwell case study. What exactly was the tipping point that launched NB’s from average schmo staple to fodder for the insatiable menswear masses? I’ll leave that one for Gladwell’s next book, but I will say that New Balance has done an exemplary job at embracing their new-found market. Sure, those old school, all grey sneaks that the Costanza’s of the world used to wear still remain their most popular models, but over the past couple years NB has revamped their classic running shoes to create some damn fine, and for that matter, flashy, designs. It seems that every week New Balance seems to drop another “banger” (that’s what sneakerheads are saying these days right?) so we decided to round up the eight best releases of the past year.

The Throwback – 997 Reissues

The Confused Grandpa – Engineered Garments 993

The Frankenstein – ML72

The David Hockney – Concepts “C-Note” 998

The Stockholm Storm – Norse Projects “Danish Weather” 1500

The True Blue 991

The Old Glory – Made in the USA 998

*While most of these sneakers are unfortunately already sold out, with the brand’s recent track record, we’re sure some even better designs are just around the corner.

The Dueling Arena at Night

I was talking to a friend who is expecting and was lamenting the idea of caving into a "mom car"—as she listed off the ultra-safe, un-sporty, spacious vehicle options I wondered about mom cars of the past. Were they always so...unsexy? Turns out maybe not. After a little searching of the words mom and car I found a few mamas that liked to go vroom vroom. As for the safety element: no comment. Call child services.

The Future Bars team behind such successful San Francisco drinking establishments as Bourbon & Branch and Local Edition are expanding their reach in the East Bay. According to co-owner Brian Sheehy, they will be opening a new branch of their high-end spirits store, Cask, on College Avenue in Berkeley. This comes on the heels of their planned new cocktail bar, Tupper & Reed, which is taking over the former Beckett’s space in downtown Berkeley.

That’s no accident, according to Sheehy, who says his two Cask stores in San Francisco draw steady business from patrons introduced to the kind of unique spirits offered at their bars.

“We’re anticipating the same response here with Tupper & Reed as we had with Bourbon & Branch,” he says. “We’d like this to be the place where people in the East Bay go to purchase high-end spirits for the home environment.”

The new Cask will be taking over the current College Avenue Wine, Spirits & Deli, which occupies a fairly large space at 3185 College Ave. about midway between Oakland’s Rockridge neighborhood and Berkeley’s Elmwood district. It’ll carry a similar selection as the San Francisco stores, roughly 25 percent wine, 25 percent beer, and 50 percent liquor. One perk to the Berkeley location: their license allows them to offer customers tastings of beer and wine, as well as spirits provided its administered by a representative from the distiller.

Sheehy doesn’t anticipate getting the keys for the new space until the liquor license is processed in around 90 days, so the opening is still a few months off. Tupper & Reed, meanwhile, is on pace to open a little sooner, likely in mid- to late-May.

Cask: 3185 College Avenue, Berkeley, caskstore.com.

The only way to be a real man is to be a real man as ferociously as humanly possible. He goes all-in; he gets shredded and ripped and defines his life by aggression and competitions. He buys the hamburger that comes with two other hamburgers and a chicken cutlet on top of it. Why? Because it’s three hamburgers with a chicken cutlet on top of it. He is comfortable. This needs to be understood. He is on a log flume holding a drink with an umbrella in it, because ironic homoeroticism is the height of masculinity. This is how he thinks. There is no stress in his life, no obstacles, nothing impeding this path to pussy and alcohol and beige, deep-fried carbohydrates.

Here’s a list of the most popular Girl Scout Cookies and complementary ales. Of course, this isn’t exhaustive, but it’s a good place to start if you’re really into elevating your cookie game in 2014.

When perusing Wink & Nod’s menu, several things stand out: Chef Jeremy Kean’s quail yakitori in a smoking mason jar, made-to-order Twinkies, a cocktail named after Kim Cattrall. The kitsch is endless. But when the South End speakeasy finally opens its doors on March 20, perhaps the most startling will be general manager Curtis McMillan’s Billionaire’s Bijou cocktail priced at a cool $100.

The Queer Joy of Cataloging explores cataloging philosophy and practice through the lens of queer thought and experience. Cataloging and queerness share much in common: the desire to contextualize, interpret, understand; the work of unearthing the unexamined, hidden, overlooked, censored, unappreciated, and misunderstood; naming the unnamed; tracing histories and identities; and finding joy in discovery and curiosity, the odd, unusual, arcane. At the same time, “queerness” seems at odds with cataloging’s demands for orderliness, labeling, standardization, uniformity, and control. How can cataloging librarians negotiate these shared tensions? Through an exploration of resources, description, and access, Billey and Haugen reveal the joy in the challenge of queering the catalog.
