Emeryville has much more of a following than SF. It's the oldest and it holds sentimentality in literally generations of families -- who utilize it for a multitude of occasions. Beyond the "special occasion use", business people seem to be utilizing it as well. Interestingly enough, it's also a hangout for some of the locals of all adult ages.

The several times I've been in during lunch and early afternoon, they had customers in there. Unlike SF, the East Bay is perhaps not as competitive in the category that TV is in..so hopefully with continued support, it'll be okay. I understand that for Thanksgiving, they were nearly booked out.

Despite all this, we locals do need to support it more. Therefore, I'm going to propose a monthly visit there...between that and Weds at FI, and Conga Lounge forays, that'll about tap us out...

And a note regarding TV SF and Yavuz. He was an exceptional manager to work with, the epitome of professionalism. I had the honor of working with him in an outside business capacity and he was a pleasure to work with. Thanks SF TV for memories and great drinks!

I hope the same fate is not in store for the Emmeryville one.
