[BALUG-Talk] Henry's Hunan (Natoma): now dinner to 8pm

[Rick Moen]

As I've mentioned, during the pandemic, I've found that the most
reliable source of _updated_ information about business open hours is
Google Maps.  (By contrast, hours-of-operation information shown on Yelp and 
on businesses' own Web sites has very often been outdated and
unreliable.)  Checking there today concerning BALUG's traditional
meeting/dinner venue, Henry's Hunan Restaurant, 110 Natoma Street
between New Mongomery and 2nd Streets, SOMA, SF, I see newly expanded
hours of operation:

Sunday Closed
Monday 11AM–3PM, 5–8PM
Tuesday 11AM–3PM, 5–8PM
Wednesday 11AM–3PM, 5–8PM
Thursday 11AM–3PM, 5–8PM
Friday 11AM–3PM, 5–8PM
Saturday Closed

The restaurant's Web site confirms that.  https://www.hhunannatoma.com/

Well, that is actually feasible for an _early start_ BALUG dinner,
right?  6:30 - 8pm?

It's understandable they're going slow on resuming evening operation
because they depend on downtown customers, which is mostly lunch.

A Google Maps reviewer from Feb. 2022 commented "Have proof of vaccine
if you wish to eat dine-in."  (Good!)  That is not otherwise noted on 
either the restaurant Web site or the Google Maps entry, however.  The 
latter says only "Health & Safety: Mask required."  However, Yelp's 
entry says "Proof of vaccination required."  Yelp adds that the expanded
hours took effect February.


Henry's Hunan at 1016 Bryant near 8th Street (SoMa) is open daily
(except Sundays) 11:30am-3pm and 5:30-_9pm_.


Henry's Hunan at 1708 Church Street near 29th Street (Noe Valley) is
open daily 11am-_9:30pm_.


I regret to say that the alternate Henry's Hunam at 4753 Mission Street
(Excelsior Dist.) that I suggested some months ago has closed, according
to both Google Maps and Yelp.


So, folks, how about a BALUG meeting?
