@souperman has asked whether the 300 block of Kearny, which includes that M-F lunch-only International Food Court, is possibly “The Most Culinarily Diverse Block in San Francisco”. They have some nice options currently, including Pushkin.

I don’t know if there’s a technical difference, but I’d guess we’re all more interested in local businesses than international chains (note that local chains like Super Duper and Koja Kitchen are mixed with solo businesses like Pig & Pickle (mmm…) at Emeryville PM).
