Applebee’s king Greg Flynn has finally found a home for the chain in San Francisco, also his hometown.
...
Fisherman's Wharf will be home to San Francisco's very first Applebee's. From our understanding, the Fisherman's Wharf location will be the West Coast flagship restaurant for the nationwide chain and will be situated in a third-story space at the corner of Jefferson and Taylor Streets with spectacular views of Alcatraz, the Golden Gate Bridge and the Bay. We hear that the restaurant's design will be tasteful and contemporary and include balconies where guests can sit and enjoy beverages while taking in the views.

SAN FRANCISCO – At an emergency-preparedness event Friday (Oct. 12), Supervisor David Chiu referenced the problems that New Orleans had in dealing with and recovering from Hurricane Katrina and the subsequent flooding. “They didn’t have existing partnerships,” he said. Those partnerships, and the planning and practice that goes into preparing for emergencies and natural disasters was the motivation for the sixth annual PIERSafe Drill and Safety Expo held at Fisherman’s Wharf.
Residents and businesses from that neighborhood were joined by agencies such as the San Francisco Fire Department as well as the American Red Cross and PG&E at the event. The San Francisco Department of Emergency Management and the Neighborhood Emergency Response Team (NERT) also participated.
1 November 2012 – San Francisco, CA: The Fisherman’s Wharf Community Benefit District (FWCBD) whose goal is to become a waste free zone by 2018, two years ahead of San Francisco’s mandated deadline, has launched a Zero Waste Business Recognition Program to recognize district businesses whom have met this criteria. The Fisherman’s Wharf Zero Waste Program was created to encourage waste prevention and reduction, recycling, and composting at all businesses. The FWCBD will acknowledge neighborhood hotels, restaurants, businesses, and attractions as they achieve this goal, and will promote this recognition to the community and visitors. Details about the Zero Waste Program can be found atwww.visitfishermanswharf.com/zero-waste-initiatives/zero-waste-recognition-program.
“Over the past two years, with the aid of the city’s Department of Environment and L2 Environmental, Fisherman’s Wharf businesses have been working hard to make our district a zero waste zone,” said Troy Campbell, FWCBD Executive Director. “In an area of the city that receives over 8 million visitors a year, we want to make sure we are doing everything we can to limit waste and increase our diversion rate. This program allows us to recognize those businesses that have made great strides and have achieved the zero waste goals and continue to maintain them.”
The San Francisco Board of Supervisor's 679-02 Resolution mandated zero waste by 2020; the FWCBD intends to achieve zero waste by the end of 2017. In November 2010, the FWCBD received a grant from SF Environment to help achieve these goals. Guided by the expertise of a specialized consultant, L2 Environmental, which has developed the Wharf’s Zero Waste Program, the FWCBD is now working with SF Environment, Recology, the Port of San Francisco, and local non-profits (i.e. SF Conservation Corps, SF Job Corps), with the goal of making Fisherman's Wharf a Zero Waste Zone.
Grant funds have been used for recycling equipment, outreach, and the specialist to work directly with the participants to educate management and employees, develop and maintain the diversion database, and train FWCBD staff to maintain the program, working directly with Recology for participant diversion needs.
By organizing the neighborhood’s residents, retailers, restaurants, landowners, tourist attractions, special events, and the fishing industry, the FWCBD provides an unprecedented opportunity to develop a uniform zero waste program with clearly defined goals.
When: December 9th, 2012
Time: 12-3pm
Location: 3rd Floor of the Wax Museum, 145 Jefferson Street
