EaterWire: Wine Deals at Luella, Plus Big Froyo Updates

RUSSIAN HILL—Special offers don't usually get mentions around these parts, but for promotions like this one from Luella, we'll make a Friday afternoon exception because well, it seems like an exceptional deal. From ZagatBuzz: "So for all of March, from Monday through Thursday, the restaurant is offering diners all of their wines-by-the-glass for the lovely price of $3 apiece. And, no, it certainly isn't glasses of Two Buck Chuck." [Zagat]

FINANCIAL DISTRICT—Don't look now, but that desolate stretch of the FiDi along Kearny that's been full of floundering restaurants and empty storefronts might be making a little comeback. Almost right across the street from the soon-to-open Best-O-Burger, 360 Degrees Gourmet Burritos has morphed into Pasilla Mexican Grill, which is not to be confused with Parilla Grill up the street.

RINCON CENTER—While Nobu LA puts froyo on its dessert menu, up here it's another Friday, another new froyo shop. Now open in the middle of the Rincon Center is yoCup, and as is the increasingly-common protocol for new frozen yogurt shops, the shilling as begun on Yelp. [EaterWire, previously]

NORTH BEACH—Remember how, once upon a time, Honeydoo was going to be one of the first froyo shops in all of San Francisco? Then, the various North Beach neighborhood associations went to war over the shop on Grant and Green, Honeydoo changed its name to Swirl Culture and has been quiet for the past several months. Well, look alive, because Honeyswirlculturedoo has resumed construction and is now eying a May opening date. [EaterWire]
