  Update - 1/25/2012

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.

Neighbourhood: Hayes Valley

5.0 star rating
  1/8/2012

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 »

I hadn't been to Flippers since it was a Cajun restaurant which is a long, long time ago when I moved into (formerly and firmly NOT happening)
"Hayes Valley."

So with Stacks closed and my 4 yo insisting on a hamburger and milkshake, we headed across…More »

I found this place because of a "Living Social" deal and I'm glad I did: I had an excellent 1-hour hot stone massage.

Inside a late 19th century historic mansion, Juin Organique would not be easy to find unless it were for Yelp or a deal from another…More »

5.0 star rating
  Update - 4/10/2011

With my 3 year-old in tow, we arrived at Brenda's at 9:30 Sunday morning thinking we'd beat some of the brunch crowd. Not a chance!

The line began forming before the restaurant opened at 9am and by 9:30 it was a 45 minute to hour-long wait. The food…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.

I was in search for these special cookies my little boy…More »

5.0 star rating

I've been a fan of Basil since the mid-90's when they opened and they were one of the original anchors in the then fast-changing SOMA scene that was pretty desolate except weekend nights.

First, the restaurant welcomes you with a beautiful interior…More »

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 »

Wow, if you've never been to Yank Sing you need to go. And one of the best things is if you're hungry, the steam carts start coming to your table instantly. Pace yourself!

Best things are the shanghai steamed dumplings with ginger/vinegar, the…More »
