Lonely Planet review for 826 Valencia

Given a Mission diet of burritos, margaritas and coffee, creative types seem to thrive - hence the local design boutiques, 'zine bookstores and nonprofit arts venues clustered around Valencia and Mission Sts. When a Pirate Supply Store landed at 826 Valencia, selling eye patches and McSweeney's publications to fund youth writing workshops, the Mission found its dream mission.

    Pirates are real

    sfkatya recommends this,

    I'm so conflicted about my feelings on this place. While the kid in me finds it an amazing playground of nautical treasures, the globally-aware adult in me wonders how a shop devoted to piracy can exist in an age of real pirate threats all over the world.

    So I guess the kid gives this five stars, but the practical adult says one. Compromise: three.
