1. BART - Bay Area Rapid Transit
I like Thomas S's review of Bart: "It's like stepping into a time capsule." So true! I swear that some of the trains have not been refurbished or reupholstered since BART started running in the early 70's. Hence the grease stains on the backs of…More »
2. Concord Farmers Market
I feel like I'm in the town square in some middle America town every time I come here. The place is packed on Thursdays. Half of the folks are lounging in their folding chairs listening to the band play while the other half are shuffling around to…More »

Had the Neatloaf sandwich & the vegan banana chocolate chip cake today. Amazing! Be sure to save room for dessert next time.
A helpful tip is to arrive before noon to beat the lunch rush. Everyone seems to arrive at the same time (like 12:02) & the…More »

Categories:
Restaurants,

I have been coming to the Punch Line for probably 20 years. The place hasn't changed much, except for the ticket prices & backdrop behind the stage. Still has the small bathrooms (2 stalls for women=long wait after the show), low ceiling,…More »

Category:
Shopping Centers

Beautiful mall, but I only come here out of necessity. Today the necessity was shoe shopping. No really, if you saw the soles of my shoes you'd understand.
I really hate malls & I'm not much of a shopper. So of course I had to wait until after the…More »

I just scarfed down a chicken banh mi in about 3 minutes. The inside of my mouth is on fire & all chewed up from the baguette. But alas, I am full & happy & I only paid $4.25!
I feel like I've become a bit of a banh mi expert (toot, toot!) since I…More »

The last time I visited this location there was an after hours club downstairs (maybe it's still there? I doubt it). It was kinda cool, kinda creepy with lots of beds & couches & people doing strange things in the bathrooms. Now, there's a cool…More »

Neighbourhoods: Union Square, Civic Center/Tenderloin
Farallon is my all time favorite special occasion restaurant. I like that it is fancy but not pretentious, like some other expensive seafood joints in SF (Ame). You can get away with wearing simply a t-shirt & jeans or go all out with a suit & tie.…More »

Oh, Little Delhi, how I have missed you!
It had been about a year since I had enjoyed the deliciousness of Little Delhi & I finally made it back for dinner last week. This place does not disappoint. It's still as good as I remember. The naan is…More »

Meh, nothing special.
Upscale, organic, sustainable soul food.
I came here with my folks last week before they went off to see Spamalot. This place is about 2 blocks away from the Golden Gate Theater so I guess that's why it was so packed at 6:00 on a…More »

A decent place for happy hour in the SoMa/FiDi/Embarcadero area.
Minus one star for hooking me into signing up on their mailing list, then sending me a coupon for $20 that expired last week. Shameful!
Not that I would have necessarily eaten there for…More »

I'm no longer a fan. It's not that the little spruce up wasn't badly needed, it really does look nice inside & it isn't as dark as it used to be, but it is just too crowded & waaay too loud. I'm sure it thins out after happy hour but it's just too…More »

Ok I finally made it here for lunch & I have to downgrade them to 3 stars. It's not that the food is bad, it's just not worth $17 for the buffet. For half that price I can get better food just down the street in the Tenderloin. Of course the ambiance…More »

This is a pretty cool building...inside, at least. The outside is just plain weird looking. What I like about the new Federal Building is that it is touted as a "green" building. Natural light is used more than artificial light. Ventilation is…More »
21. Johnny Foley's Irish House
San Francisco, CA 94102
(415) 954-0777
This place is good for a beer or 2 with friends when you are trying to figure out where else to go. They have a great beer selection (it IS an Irish bar, after all) but the food is nothing to write home about. Since it's near Union Square & a bunch…More »
22. Modern China Cafe
Wow, this place has amazing dim sum!
I was sad when Tin's Tea House closed cuz that was really the best dim sum place in my area. Imperial in Concord is OK, but nothing stacks up to Modern China Cafe. Well, maybe Yank Sing but you gotta go to SF for…More »

Walgreens in SF are as plentiful as Starbucks...you can't swing a dead cat without hitting one. The reason why I like this location so much is that there is ROOM to walk around. Merchandise isn't spilling off the shelves & things aren't crowding the…More »

3 1/2 stars, rounding up cuz my seabass was AMAZING.

Decent bowling alley in Yerba Buena Gardens. It's small, but it's clean & modern. The shoes looked to be fairly new & didn't smell like that gross disinfectant spray they usually use (not that I got my nose up that close to find out).
