Discovery: In Riva has Street Fighter II

Turned Blanka-green with envy last night upon spotting this Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting machine chillin' in the unassuming basement of In Riva (4116 Ridge Ave.), right next to the restrooms. This game came out in '93 (almost 20 years ago whaaat) and looks to be in pristine condition. So relax if your dinner or brunch date takes an extraordinarily long time to return from powdering his/her nose — there's a strong chance they're simply Sonic Boom-ing the crap out of M. Bison, not ingesting a bunch of club drugs to make interacting with you more tolerable.

Chef Arthur Cavaliere, for what it's worth, is a Ryu devotee and seems pretty confident in his Street Fighter abilities.
