UNDERGROUND MARKET

Last night I attended an event called the Underground Market, at Private Works on the Mission. It was my first time going and had no idea what to expect. We got there an hour early and the line was already starting to get buzzy, we were getting anxious, it was starting to rain and some of the vendors were not ready. After a 45 minute wait that felt more like six hours we were in. The cover charge for entry is only five bucks and you have access to delicious food, music and an evening can't be completed without some alcohol.



It's a two story building with patio area as well. After entering we decided it was best to do a lap before committing to any vendor. But not of course without getting a glass of red with me. Upstairs, there was this food stand of duck confit gnocchi with wild cherry glaze, the line was getting super long so we decided to try it. In my opinion it was really good, but the only thing I could really taste was the tons of butter the chef was adding to his frying pan. OMG! I guess some people really like the greasy stuff.

Here's my very proud friend Beny trying the Gnocchi...

It was starting to get warm, so we decided to head outside and see what the fuzz was about. For starters they wouldn't let us drink outside so we had to finish our drinks inside. At the patio, there were two food stands, Wachi Nango, which is mexican coastal cuisine and Hapa SF, which is organic filipino cuisine. I tried both and I must say that they both were amazingly good, but maybe because I am mexican or who knows, the fish tacos from Wachi Nango were my favorite of all. The salsas are really good, spicy enough.

By the end, we decided to head inside and listen to some interesting bands play. The last one playing was sort of a folk type of music, it was really fun seeing all the people a little bit buzzed trying to dance this type of music. We had a great time!
