I've been hearing about Bi-Rite Creamery for the last 3 years.

This place makes PCC look like Safeway. Actually, Rainbow is probably exactly what PCC was many moons ago. A refuge for those in search of bulk grains. Spirulina granola. Vegan pesto. Raw Cacao nibs.

I'm adding a star b/c I was delivered a toothbrush and toothpaste within 3 minutes of calling down to the front desk.
Plus, I slept wonderfully on both nights. I will be staying here again if I need a hotel in downtown SF.

Carl does not take cards, nor does he take any lip. He says he's been at the Ha Ra since '92. It's quite possible that he means 1892, but nevertheless, he's a funny, old codger who will make your stay memorable (to say the least).

I love bars like Doc's Clock. Old, worn in, lived in feeling... it feels like a diner from the 50s. Lots of neon signage and Christmas lights with tiled floors and old lighted beer signs (think 1970s Miller ads). Good stuff.
