Golden Gate Park: According to the official countdown on the website, the new Academy of Sciences will open its sustainable doors in a mere 47 days, and Food & Wine gives us the most extensive preview yet of the pair of restaurant projects within the behemoth: The Academy Cafe and The Moss Room, both by the celebrated local chef duo of Charles Phan and Loretta Keller. The article touches on dozens of amenities and green features of the restaurants, including the ginormous living roof (pictured), where Phan and Keller will be probably able to harvest at least a few ingredients from the 1.7 million plants. Some of the highlights:

On the Academy Cafe, where Phan will do both tacos and noodles: "... on the main floor, [it] feels like an interactive exhibit showcasing cuisines from the Mediterranean, Southeast Asia and Mexico."

1) The Mission: Already a plywood vet is Grub on Valencia between 18th and 19th, but since it's in a high-profile location, updates abound. A tipster sends along the above shots, and from the looks of the interior, we're guessing that the late summer/early fall estimates are a bit optimistic, similar to Isaac Mognnam's other delayed project currently mired in plywood, Polk Street's Booth.

THE SUNSET—Nick Fasanella (Nick's Crispy Tacos) just took over Palermo/Spiaggia Deli, and now he's going to be taking Underdogs Sports Bar & Grill too. The first catch is that he's holding a contest and taking suggestions for a new name and concept for the now-dismal bar, which is not be confused with Underdog, the vegan sausage joint next door. The second catch is that the prize for said contest is $500 ... credit at the bar. So there's that. [SFist]

'BUCKSWIRE—At long last, Starbucks has released the list of the 600 stores to be closed this summer. For the most part, San Francisco was largely immune to the purge: only two stores are slated to shutter: one in the Metreon and the other at 901 Market. Across the bridge in Berkeley, the store at Shattuck and Cedar will also get the ax. [BuxGoss]

All closure notices arrive via The Shutter. Please report all failures to sf@eater.com.

The Sunset: Just in case the bright-red water-turnoff notices didn't convince you that the Wunder Brewing Company was shuttered for more than just "temporary renovations," it seems that place is officially for sale, meaning we've seen the last of the most recent inhabitant of 1326 Ninth Avenue. New signage (pictured) is up in the windows and from the looks of this ad, the brewery is on the market with a lease of $15,000 per month, not including the liquor licenses. And you wonder why that space has been a revolving door.

1) Noe Valley: Opening right on schedule today is the second Noe Valley location of Toast Eatery. We took a long look at the space earlier in the week, so we won't rehash too many details, but know that it's just about an exact replica of the original (look and menu), about 45 seats, is replacing the classic Herb's and is open until 10pm tonight. 3991 24th Street, at Noe; (415) 642-6328; website [EaterWire]

If you're like us, one of the redeeming factors of the froyo wars is the expectation that the last analogous trend, the boba movement, would fade into the obscure specialty it was before, and with it, its omnipresent Bay Area face: Quickly. Alas, evolution is at play. Brace thyselves: in a move that could nearly quadruple the froyo options in the city, the pestilential chain with upwards of 20 locations in San Francisco alone is now serving "new generation authentic" frozen yogurt for 59 cents. This, friends, could very well signal the end of days. The good news though, is that the "Grand Opening" banners have been replaced by froyo ones.

The Sunset: Given the extreme grossness that followed the shuttering of PJ's Oysterbed, it might be easy to forget that the closure was originally supposed to be temporary. In fact, when we first broke the story, PJ's offered a bit of classic restaurant fluff, insisting that the closure was prompted by planned renovations and they'd be back before long. Of course, this "hiatus" was called into extreme doubt by rumors regarding personal issues and lease woes on Irving—not to mention the ensuing shitshow. Alas, the answering machine has been updated, saying that PJ's regrets to inform you that they are permanently closed and would like to thank everyone for 30 years of patronage. Whether the shutter was permanent to begin with, or was a result of the critter circus that followed, we might never know. Sweets to the sweet; farewell, PJ's.

We're fairly certain water is needed at a brewery, even micro-versions.

The Sunset: For the most part, everyone—even local beer expert William Brand!—remains in the dark regarding last month's "temporary" shuttering of Wunder Brewing Company. Now, given the not-so-subtle turn-off notices that appeared yesterday on its door, we feel even more certain that a June return is highly doubtful, which would officially boost the tally of failed microbreweries at 1326 Ninth Ave to four. Quite the rough month for the corner of Ninth and Irving.

The Sunset: It took incriminating photos of brave rats, a few health department complaints, and probably an email or five, but after more than two weeks, the rotting crabs and oysters at PJ's Oysterbed have been removed. At approximately 7pm last night, an unfortunate soul was cleaning up the carcasses, much to the delight of Irving Street passers-by. Nearly everyone—including the dogs—walking down Irving last night took note of PJ's in some way; one man even applauded. Sarcastically, we think.

The Sunset: We didn't think it possible, but somehow, the rotting crabs and oysters left behind by PJ's Oysterbed are still there, a solid fortnight after the place shuttered. It's a very, very unfortunate situation. The stench remains pungent as ever, the mail is on the floor and flies are swarming, but the grossest new development: that furry critter you see above is just one of the many massive rats scurrying around. At around 8pm last night, several rats were atop the bar, and a few more were neck-deep in Dungeness delight. We're thinking a steady diet of oysters has ballooned this fella to upwards of ten pounds, begging the question of how this is actually allowed to happen. Regardless, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, step right up to see the vermin circus, after dark on Irving!

PALO ALTO—Last seen in the Bay at Grand Cafe and then at Paris in Vegas, Fabrice Roux has resurfaced in Palo Alto. The husband of Absinthe's former pastry chef Murielle Roux, he'll be the executive chef at Joya, a new upscale restaurant/lounge opening on University Avenue. Opening date is set for July, and curiously for the French chef, the restaurant will be of the Spanish/Latin American ilk. More details and renderings (including the one pictured to the right) are available on the official site. [EaterWire]

GOLDEN GATE PARK—It's not entirely news per se, but we'll take every opportunity to gawk at the upcoming Academy of Sciences mega-project. The latest is that The Moss Room—also known as the Charles Phan/Loretta Keller restaurant and cafe going into the new museum—has applied for a liquor license. Did we mention there's a wall that is alive there? 110 days until go-time. [EaterWire]
