In the real story, an innocent Alice took funny mushrooms and hung with a psychotically happy feline.
For an equally trippy experience (sans Burton), check out the Mission’s Viracocha, a new vintage mecca that’s a wonderland all its own.
Owner Jon Siegel stocks serious finds (a 1964 Conn organ, tables made from Turkish doors), covetable gifts (antique cameras, Metaphor Organics soaps), and tongue-in-cheek delights (a Lionel Richie poster resting in a red bathtub). Decades-old Life magazines and books with titles like Correct English are sprinkled throughout.
Downstairs, there’s a stage and seating for events like CD release parties and poetry readings.
Which has us grinning from ear to ear.
Viracocha, 998 Valencia Street, at 21st Street (415-374-7048 or viracochasf.com).
