1. Lark Creek Steak
San Francisco, CA 94103
(415) 593-4100
Categories:
Steakhouses,
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhoods: Union Square, SOMA
I love dessert pudding.
Pretty much all dessert pudding.
Once during college I lived off nothing but Kozy Shack rice pudding and pickles for a week.
Seriously gross - but at the time - seriously delicious.
There's something about pudding that's soothing,…More »
2. Mixt Greens
San Francisco, CA 94104
(415) 433-6498
Categories:
Sandwiches,
Vegetarian,
Salad
Neighbourhood: Financial District
Don't let the lines here be a deterrent.
They move fast.
Very fast.
Plus you can take advantage of their cucumber water while you wait (proper hydration works wonders for mid day energy lifts and the skin).
I rarely go to Mixt Greens, mostly cause of…More »
3. Ferry Building Marketplace
San Francisco, CA 94111
(415) 983-8030
Categories:
Shopping Centers,

Neighbourhood: Embarcadero
San Francisco is unlike any other city out there.
From it's rolling hills.
Stunning Victorian architecture.
Mellow, vibrant parks.
Breath-taking music scene.
Good souls. And lingering hippie ideals and mentality.
And of course the abundance of healthy,…More »
4. Zaoh Restaurant
San Francisco, CA 94103
(415) 431-3930
Categories:
Sushi Bars,
Japanese
Neighbourhood: SOMA
Zaoh is not a destination sushi spot.
It's no Kabuto or Koo (some of my favorites).
But what Zaoh does do well - that very few sushi places do (let alone food spots downtown)...
is deliver. Literally.
A little while back - I was trying to find a downtown…More »

Losing a month long bus pass is painful.
Especially when you lose it at the beginning of the month or half-way into the month.
I have been a victim of these circumstances way too often.
Which speaks highly to the fact that
1.) I need to get more…More »
6. Island Earth Farmers Market - CLOSED
OK...
So I'm a little confused about the low reviews.
Because something new, something local, something fresh, something community oriented, and something delicious - going into a space that really didn't have much happening in it originally - is a…More »
7. Roy's Restaurant
If I decided to take all of the money that I regularly spent on Good Earth, thrift store shopping, makeup products, and cabs, and instead spend it on a solid class'aaaa corporate style restaurant, I would pick Roy's.
Roy's may be a chain, but it's a…More »
8. The Grove Cafe Yerba Buena
San Francisco, CA 94105
(415) 957-0558
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: SOMA
The Grove is my late night SOMA beacon.
Warm, inviting, and the place you go - where the guy behind the counter knows your name, suggests a nice pot of jasmine tea, and doesn't mind when you play the "High Maintenance Salad" role.
I adore the Grove.…More »

Go. For. The Falafel Wrap.
GOOOOO. FOR. THE. FALAFEL WRAP.
When something is made with love. Made with care. You can taste it.
Seriously.
It's an ingredient which is never listed on the menu, but is unmistakable when you take a big bite.

Category:

This past week I found myself getting sick. My eyes throbbed from sinus issues, and my body ached. I knew was looking at a weekend spent hiding beneath my covers, while watching all three seasons of Arrested Development.
But instead of stocking up on…More »
11. Pazzia Restaurant & Pizzeria
This place is forgotten about way too often.
If you want to impress anyone in the downtown area with a solid, fairly affordable meal - take them to quaint Pazzia.

It has to be said.
It just has to.
California Pizza Kitchen despite being a chain, despite having some just OK pizzas, - does alot of things right.
Such as continually adding new things to their menu...
Like their Spiced Moroccan Chicken salad.

I'm convinced that most people don't know about this place.
Because - if they did -

I really hope Chill gets embraced by fro-yo lovers and dessert fanatics, because I believe it's worthy of hype
Chill is not just some fad fro-yo place. They're unique and are determined to serve up creative, quality, and natural desserts

The bubble teas can be hit or miss here.
Though the coconut bubble tea is usually pretty good, I can never finish it, because it also seems to be pure sugar, much like many of the teas here. But, with a huge board of tea options, I'm sure there's…More »

Decent sandwiches and salads, and personable staff.
But definitely no place that you should walk farther than a block and half to visit.
The mozarella sandwich is always tasty, and the chipotle chicken salad looks enticing, but I advise staying away…More »

A disco ball, a pool table, two bars, a plethora of flat screens, big black seating booths, a karaoke machine, two projection screens, lychee martinis, a dance floor, lots of room, no wait, and of course some kick ass Pad-Thai.
Yes, a place like this…More »

Um No.
This place is not impressive.

They pull that whole Yogurt Bar trick, where they con you into getting the medium size, just you can get the three toppings.
They are skimpy with the toppings.
They have no seating.

Just a heads up that you don't need to go far for quality pho in the Financial District.
