UPPER MARKET—On Market Street, Cafe Du Nord is expanding into the ex-pilates studio next door. The plan is to take over the space and make it a cafe/coffeeshop with wifi and a ticketing area.

MOUNTAIN VIEW—Might the culinary Eden known as the Google cafeteria be on the downturn?

SAN FRANCISCO—The official LitQuake '08 schedule should be out within the week, but here's a little preview: Saturday October 4th will feature a Food & Drink session, with guest participants like Elizabeth Falkner, the Chron's Tara Duggan, Brian Yaeger, sake master Beau Timken and others. More to come. [EaterWire]
AMERICA—The tickets for the Bocuse d'Or USA semifinals went on sale this morning. Tickets run $450 per person and include complimentary park admission to Epcot & the Epcot Food & Wine Festival for Friday and Saturday. You can get tickets by calling 407-WDW-FEST. [EaterWire]
FINANCIAL DISTRICT—Because free coffee alerts are always a good thing to be aware of: "If you purchase one of harvest & rowe’s scratch baked pastries, they’ll treat you to a free cup of coffee. Try getting THAT at Starbucks ... Offer valid thru August." [City Dish]
