CARBOLOADS - The Chinatown Community Development Center and North Beach Merchants Association are throwing Noodle Fest this Sunday. Pay fifteen bones in advance to get access to noodle and pasta dishes from more than 30 Chinatown and North Beach Locations; so you can try Italian pasta dishes and Chinese noodle bowls at the same time, if that's your sort of thing. More information is available here. [EaterWire]
