The Little Shamrock
The Little Shamrock
Location: 807 Lincoln Way, near Ninth Avenue
Opened: 1890s The Little Shamrock at 807 Lincoln Way near Ninth Avenue is the Sunset District s oldest business, serving drinks in the same location since the 1890s. The story goes that Antone Herzo and his wife opened their pub on October 28, 1893, to serve the thirsty workmen who were creating the Midwinter Fair in Golden Gate Park. The bar recognized this date in a centennial celebration in 1993.
But a bit of research pokes some holes in the official story. (Thanks to John Freeman for his intrepid research.)
First problem: Antone Herzo died July 17, 1893 at age 38, which is quite an impediment to opening a bar three months later.

After rolling through the first half of summer, dipping our toes in the social waters and, for some, even venturing out of town, it feels like the right time to get back in step with local community offerings. Relish the re-emergence of live arts and performances, offered both indoors and outside; especially those tailor-made to entertain the little ones in the family.

Two Local Authors Make A Historical And Artistic Pilgrimage To Document Lesbian Mothers.
By Margaret Regan
FOR BARBARA SEYDA and Diana Herrera, the gayby boom
first hit home back in 1993 at a boisterous Thanksgiving dinner
in a New Mexico farmhouse. Gayby? It s no misprint: An elision of the words gay
and baby, the gayby boom s a real phenomenon. The
National Center for Lesbian Rights gives a rough estimate of the
number of lesbian mothers in American as between five and 10 million.
And that s not even counting gay dads, who sometimes, but not
always, join genetic forces with the lesbian moms.
