Castro Quicky
Quicky Burgers and Shakes, the Castro’s latest punnily named eatery, is open at 4092 18th Street.

Bernal Cutlery is moving to Valencia
766 Valencia Street’s closed location of a quirky children’s store, Paxton Gate Curiosities for Kids, is becoming something considerably less safe for children: A new location for Bernal Cutlery, the nearby specialty knife shop, which is moving its retail home from Guerrero Street. Expect knife related classes and more retail selections when the shop re-opens.
Smaller chunk for Munchery junk
The massive payday that CEO of bankrupt startup Munchery is expected to receive for the sale of its remaining assets is a little less massive: $125,000 rather than the $250,000 “success fee” he originally sought. James Beriker, who presided over the company’s closure and its many unpaid bills to small vendors, receives the smaller compensation package as the result of negotiations between the company and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors, according to the SF Business Times.
