For the first time in its 40-year history, Restaurant Depot – a restaurant supply store for people in the food service industry, now allows the public to shop and buy bulk goods there.Restaurant Depot is like a Costco for restaurants, selling cleaning supplies, fresh produce, dry groceries, fresh and frozen meat and tons more. Restaurant Depot Bay Area Locations are Open 7 days, with no minimum purchase required:
Note: this story is evolving. Hours may change, and future changes to non-members access may be coming, but for now public access is the status. *See Update message on Covid-19 safety practices Here's the good news: this opportunity gives people another place to do infrequent, but high quantify shopping to stock up should they want to. The bad news is that there is already a big backlash of Restaurant Depot’s existing restaurant-owner customer base who now have to compete for goods with the general public, making it harder for them to stock up their restaurants. As Restaurant Depot becomes more popular with the general public expect some potential limitations on hours should they choose to appease their existing member base. Thanks to SF Gate and FuncheapSF
The de Young and Legion of Honor Museums offer learning and activity resources not as prompts to bring parents and young learners joy, wonder, and respite from the everyday routine.
From the museums' information pages:
Look: All the explorations at the de Young and Legion of Honor begin with close looking. Creating time and space to share our observations and develop interpretations provides an opportunity to consider multiple points of view rather than finding a single correct answer. Our K–3rd-grade Learning to Look materials integrate Visual Thinking Strategies to develop rich vocabulary, student-generated interpretations, and improved writing skills. You can quickly incorporate these techniques by exploring a work of art using the following questions:
Explore: The context of an artwork expands the connections students can make to what they are learning in school and to their own lived experiences. In creating our 4th–8th-grade Get Smart with Art curriculum, we developed resources that put the historical context in the hands of our students so that they can analyze, question, and interpret works of art. When exploring the history behind artwork, ask questions that help students analyze the information.
Create: Discover new artwork via our permanent collection Discovery Guides. These short, open-ended activities spark conversation and invite creativity as you look together. Here is one to try: choose a window to look out of, paying special attention to the basic shapes you see and the noises you hear. What kinds of lines show these shapes and noises best? Try combining the sights and sounds into a drawing, and reflect on how these change during the day.
