Anytime, Wife and Mommy...you're always welcome, and as long as you come hungry, there's plenty to experience! :-)

Oh my gosh. I need to come

Oh my gosh. I need to come visit you just so we can eat. And eat. And eat.

Blue Bottle on the roof!

Lisa, I haven't tried that cafe yet, but I'm really dying to drink a cup of Blue Bottle coffee on the rooftop deck. Soon! Thanks for the recommendation!

Three meals a day: A problem

theinadvertentgardener — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 09:35:32 -0500

Susan, I saw a Tweet from Alice Q. Foodie yesterday that described SF as the one place in the world where being able to eat three times a day is not a privilege, it's a problem...because she wants to be able to eat more than that! I totally get that...it's ridiculous how long my must-still-get-to list is at the moment...

How to Decide!

SusanSVS — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 18:43:44 -0500

Being Bay Area born and bred, I so appreciate the overwhelming number of choice of great places to eat in SF. It's been said (and I don't know by whom) that you could eat at a different place in SF, for every meal, every day and still not get to all the restaurants. This must include new openings, but still... it's wild to think about.

Papalote Mexican Grill is one I've heard great things about & definitely want to try. Other favorites of mine are BetelNut (great for vegetarians & vegans), Greens (yet to go there...), Mexico DF, Kuleto's (at the Villa Florence in Union Square) & Trattoira Volare Caffe in North Beach. I could go on and on...

If you want to really experience old San Francisco, check out the Buena Vista Cafe. Near Ghiradelli Square/The Wharf, this is the home of the original Irish Coffee. It's an SF classic where people will join you at your table because it's always so crowded. Worth a cab or Cable Car ride!

Happy eating...

Panhandlers

I’ve come to terms with this dilemma.

Sometimes I give them money, sometimes I don’t. Depends on whether I need to or wish to or not.

I know a lot of them, probably most of them, are just too lazy to work and/or they’re on drugs or booze.

In either case I can’t relate. But I can fuel their bellies or their habits from time to time. Which they feed is not my decision.

I give just often enough to feed my sense of compassion and to quiet my rattled nerves.

It's quite a ways from the conference, but Aziza's worth it

Geary and 22nd Avenue, I believe - quick cab ride or long bus ride.

Lovely Moroccan food, great cocktails.

Have to give a shout-out to the SF MOMA cafe

...some yummy tastes with your culture. Great sandwiches. If you dare enter the gift shop, guard your wallet...

Best.Breakfast.Ever!

Suzanne Reisman — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 09:23:16 -0500

I was just in SF earlier this month, and I had the best breakfast I've ever eaten at Dottie's True Blue Cafe on Mason St. The line was long on a Sat. morning (we waited over an hour), but I heard it is not as bad M-F. The restaurant looks like a hole in the wall greasy spoon, but I had a goat cheese, spinach, and lamb fennel sausage omlete with a sweet potato muffin. My husband ordered the grilled jalapeno cornbread with his Italian omelete, and it was heaven. My friend had a sweet potato and red onion gallette with a wonderful fruit salad and two biscuits that tasted a little like donuts. Every time I think about it, I salivate.

Wish I could be there!

Just posted about places to eat that are off the beaten path

Enjoy! These places won't be on everyone's list and are truly delightful.

Excellent choice!

theinadvertentgardener — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 12:23:17 -0500

Kalyn, excellent choice and good question! It's about six blocks down Market Street from 3rd Street, but it's an easy and safe six blocks. I'd say give yourself about 15-20 minutes to get from the St. Regis to the door of the restaurant.

Slanted Door!

Kalyn Denny — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 07:11:20 -0500

I think that's my pick out of all these places. (Of course I'm really an eater, not a drinker, so I'd go there mostly for the food!)

Question about the walk from St. Regis, how far is "all the way down"?

I have to recommend ...

Truly Meditteranean in the Misson. Amazing, amazing Middle Eastern food - you can't miss with their schwarma, or for vegetarians, their falafel - and really nice people.
