So when I went to see "Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" I hit the concession stand just before the previews and movie started.
I need fresh popcorn (why do the carb load if it's not worth the calories, right?) So I asked Marcos behind the counter, "Is…More »

Thai comfort food!
I've tried a few things across their menu and I think Thai Time's curries are definitely their strong suit.
I'm totally addicted.
My years-long mission: Find an awesome, inexpensive Thai place and it's THAI TIME!

I drove down Oak Street en route to do a quick errand and O-Toro's elegant, inviting space made me do a double-take. I made a quick mental note to swing by "soon."
Funny thing is, when you least expect an obsession to take root, I decided that "soon"…More »

What a sweet little store!
I had my nails done at High Touch Salon a couple of doors down the street and found myself wandering the (so clean, not a speck of dust in sight!) aisles of Sakura.

Until today, I hadn't had a deep tissue massage at Johnson's Acupressure (located above their acupuncture practice which I highly recommend, on Clement x 3rd.)
OMG.. not only was it one of the best massages I've ever had (ask for Rosanna) but at $45…More »
