And while I am on the subject of black magic vodou, which I always am … let me whisper the address of a little piece of the murky vibe right here under our noses. For great beer—from Louisiana’s Abita Brewing Company just 30 miles north of the New Orleans— and a smoking jukebox, as well as the occasional skeleton and Mardi Gras bead, drop in at the Black Magic Voodoo Lounge in the Marina/Cow Hollow area: 1400 Lombard Street in San Francisco. You can’t miss it. We’ll I guess you could, but it’s right there on the corner of Lombard and Franklin.
I am talking dark, homey and boozy … so nice for zombie types. A good place to wear that Dead Love T-shirt or those Mardi Gras beads and laissez les bons temps rouler.
