If
Caffe Trieste is the spirit of North
Beach, the Saloon its liver, and City
Lights its brain, then there's no question that Enrico's
was the heart of Bohemian
San Francisco. Founded in 1958 by Enrico
Banducci, the renowned restaurant and jazz venue was shuttered from
1988 to 1992, but reopened under new management. In November, 2006 the
redux-Enrico's slipped into history, too. An intersection for the obscure
and the famous alike, Enrico's will be forever
remembered by San Franciscans who cherished the onetime mecca for writers,
artists, singers, musicians, poets and their followers. The final performer
was local jazz favorite Levay Smith on October
30, 2006.
