Better than the "K" and almost as fun: Casa Lucas Market 2934 24th Street in the Mission. They have great chilis and Mexican ingredients. Yeah, that is an amazing market, but are they open until 2 am? Plus the extra hour travel time and the $2 cover charge to enter SF from the east. . . . Kmart is unaesthetic, but convenient. Besides, it's impossible to park in the Mission between all the damn suv yuppie-mobiles and all the tourists from Marin looking for cool-cred. Take Bart; and last time I checked there were a truckload of East Bayers shopping for MARTHA STEWART EVERYDAY bargains at KMart.
