HAIGHT ASHBURY - Well here's a shiny little newcomer to a gloriously dingy block. From a tipster, we learn Weird Fish and The Corner Chef, Alex Jackson is behind the new Puerto Rican restaurant, Parada 22, to open in about a week and a half. The business will fill 1805 Haight, a long-vacant space between dive mecca, Murio's, and tapas fixture Cha Cha Cha. Per GrubStreet, the pair will also be opening Black Sheep Pub, a Mission restaurant and bar portending to serve a "constant" prix fixe menu of $32 for four courses. [Eaterwire]
