Some reasons for moving to San Francisco #1-26

  • Thriftstore shopping in the mission
  • Farmer Browns - mojitos, jambalaya, sweet potatoe fries, corn bread, atmosphere, great service - and someone told me the fried chicken is Ok too.
  • The views from Tank Hill
  • Louis' Cafe by Sutro Baths on he tip of the edge of the world. Enjoy a great fry-up and gorgeous views at the same time.
  • Out the door in Westfield Shopping Centre, food that is meant to be eaten, all of it, just dig in - it's lush.
  • Aquatic Park at sunset. It is a bonfire of light for the eyes.
  • Walking around Stow Lake early in the morning.
  • The parrots at Telegraph Hill. If you're lucky you can listen to them cackling in the tree by Coit.
  • Opening game at the AT&T Park. I haven't been, but people swear by it.
  • Order the Cau Cau at La Mar Cebicheria Peruana and just enjoy
  • Cole Hardware in Cole valley has Everything - and I mean Everything, you might ever need.
  • Bagels and latte at the Zorba Cafe on Hayes and Gough
  • In some morbid fashion, Alcatraz is a hauntingly beautiful monument.
  • Tong Kian, Geary and 23rd. Dim Sum heaven.
  • With the sun comes the people and everyone is lunching, brunching, running and walking the dogs.
  • The mezzanine is pretty cool, is it a night-club, is it a music-venue, who knows.
  • SF cablecars. It's a classic, never gets boring.
  • Hanging out in Golden Gate Park never gets boring
  • There's always sunshine somewhere in the city
  • If you find a deck-chair in the Park Chalet garden, you get out of the wind and in to the sun, which is always nice
  • Let's Be Frank hotdogs - and the super friendly, cute guys serving them
  • The percussionist on Market and Powell. It's a San Francisco soundtrack.
  • Sliders and a Bees knees at the Alembic, Haight Street
  • The trams on Market Street to Castro are really, really beautiful
  • The wind down Crissy Field messes up your hair in a cute way
  • The Pacific fog really does look like it does in Vertigo

Tong Kiang? Wow, we may have more in common than I thought. :-) My parents and I love to have dim sum on the weekend. It's our time to bond and catch up.

Kenneth - we might have seen each other. We're not regulars, I would say, but we love going there, and we always have too much food:)
