I usually find myself here every time I'm in the Southwest Terminal…read more Yes, everything thing is airport priced (over priced), but better for me to get my water here than on the plane. And I'll take their over priced nuts over the airlines nuts for longer flights any time. You gotta do what you gotta do!!!

I need to make a list of my reviews that include a story of me buying overpriced pencils at airport…read morenewsstands so that I can do crossword puzzles. Yes, I once again had forgotten to bring a pencil with me, but surprisingly, the overpriced mechanical pencil that just says OAKLAND, CA was only $1.99. Not bad at an airport. But I made a tactical mistake. I normally just buy a Chronicle, read a couple of articles, and spend the next hour-and-a-half doing the crossword puzzle. This time, since I had a while till my flight left, I figured I would plan for the future by buying one of those cheap books with a bunch of crossword puzzles in them. This was also reasonably priced ($4.99, I think), but I was disappointed because the puzzles were so easy! So instead of using my brain, I ended up zoning out as I speed-completed seven puzzles in about an hour. The coolest thing about this place was the cashier. When I gave her the pencil, she couldn't read the price code on it. So she grabbed one of the pairs of reading glasses from the display next to the cash register, put them on to read the code, entered it, and put the glasses back. I teased her for this, and she took it in stride. Overall, it's reasonably priced for what it is, and that woman sure is friendly.

First went to this place for the opening event and had a great time...rumor has it that maybe more…read morelive acts will happen in the future, and that sounds really fun! I didn't have my card with me that night, so I came a few days later after work. The craft market was bustling pretty hard that day, but the shop girl, Courtney (ps anyone who has the same name as me is a+!!) made sure to give me some good recommendations. I walked away with a really cool food focused zine (Remedy) a San Francisco zine (Wonder & Wander) and a hilarious red hot chili peppers fan fiction zine. Courtney recommend a few others, but I grabbed all my lil bag could carry. Despite the small little store front, I felt like there was a pretty good mix of things to look through. A lot of feminist lit, lots of political stuff, travel, food, and just general aesthetically pleasing things. I told her id be really interested in reading more queer zines, (they definitely have some!) and she assured me that she cosigns in small quantities to keep the shelves fresh and to date. I really enjoyed the market itself, but this newsstand is definitely a gem and brings a lot of community to a place where some locals would consider a tourist trap. I look forward to seeing The Grand Newsstand soon!!

This is perfectly awesome small 'zine, poetry and art kiosk right off of market street by that…read morepublic market thingy they do. This is a walk up kiosk by justin herman plaza/fountain and thus you will not be driving here. This is however, one of the most walkable parts of one of the most pedestrian friendly cities in the world so you have about a half dozen non driving ways to get here from around the city. This is the business inspiration of one local artist (it's the woman running behind the counter) and it sells art. It's in an re-purposed ticket booth and as such it's super tiny. There is no interior space so you'll be browsing via the sidewalk. Small whimsical locally produced self published pamphlets (hereafter referred to as 'zines), buttons, patches, cards and suchlike. The written items focus on various themes-love, city life, humor etc. are the stock in trade, made both by the owner and by other local artists. Pricing can be as low as a couple of bucks for a tiny booklet to 20 ish for a full size book. This is a perfect place to get some unique, local art/spoken word items and to find a little inspiration.
