Short but sweet

Merci, San Francisco.

I came.

I read.

I ate.

San Francisco was the perfect little respite in what’s been a very busy year so far.

I got to reconnect with great friends.

Take in landscapes that are both invigorating and inspiring.

And enjoy my favorite kind of food: California cuisine. And in just a few short days, I crammed a lot in my maw:
• Arizmendi
• Baker & Banker
• Bar Jules
• Harry’s
• Mission Beach (twice!)
• Universal Café
• Zuni

    Hah! I used to work at Universal. Catch the hungover brunch shift or take in a leisurely dinner?

    When I mentioned to SF friends that you went to Zuni, there was much enthusiastic replying :)
    There is nothing like that view~

    These tips are timely! I'll be headed to San Fran the first week of June. What neighborhood is the first shot from??

    So wish I could have been at your reading!

    Ah CatharticAggression, lucky you! That place is divine. I feel like I need to go back a handful of more times to make good work of the menu! (I was there for brunch... toasted banana bread (sweet) and soft scramble (savory) - divine.)

    Andi, sorry I missed you! Our paths cross all the time, just never at the same time!

    Candice, Zuni is an eternal favorite. I understand the chorus of ohhing - it's awesome.

    Lindsey, you are definitely lucky! You will love it and eat soooo well! The first shot is of the "painted ladies" up at Alamo Square. Down the hill: divine eating and shopping in Hayes Valley.

    Connie, *always* so good to see you guys. Love you.

    Looks like you are having the time of your life. Good for you. And how were those macarons? J'adore cassis!
