Yank Sing
This Saturday, I wanted to go on a longer run. I started off in Golden Gate Park and decided to take the Coastal Trail starting in Land’s End and head towards the bridge, then along Crissy Field, along the Embarcadero, and ultimately the Ferry Building – almost 16 miles in total (I took a small…

The Anchovy Bar
We were looking for a relatively low-key dinner this Friday. We decided to eat here previously and enjoyed ourselves (it turns out we hadn’t eaten here since 2022 so it had been a lot longer than we had remembered). We made reservations for seating at the bar since that’s where we get to see all…

Sam’s Anchor Cafe
It was going to be a beautiful day this Saturday so I always think about doing my favorite run to Tiburon. Of course, I’m not quite in shape to do the whole 20-mile distance starting from home so I had Andrea drop me off at the vista point (on the Marin side) for the GG…

Californios
We were celebrating Andrea’s birthday at her favorite restaurant. This was our seventh time here, but surprisingly we hadn’t been here in a year…when we were celebrating her b-day last year! We both ordered cocktails, which didn’t arrive until our 4th course/bite. Andrea had the Californios Martini and I had the Cantarito. The martini was…

Schnitzel Haus
Matthias wanted to eat here and for good reason! We also were all interested in having something different and since we don’t often eat out for German food (last time for us was at Suppenküche 6 months ago). Restaurant was fairly small with about 10 tables. We were seated with two square tables put together…

District Table & Bar
After the Lily’s Baccalaureate, we went to District Table & Bar for dinner. Andrea and I each ordered their Harlot’s Martini which is a dirty martini made with Dolin vermouth, goat cheese stuffed olives, lemon oil. Andrea had hers made with vodka (Ketel One) and mine was made with Tanqueray gin. Pretty tasty. The goat…

Saigon to Paris Cafe
Andrea and I took a redeye to get to my parents. They picked us up at the airport and then we went to lunch at this Vietnamese/French restaurant and patisserie. It was in an odd location in the middle of a warehouse district. The place was pretty full for a random Thursday. Menu looked great…

Katsuya
Heard about the chicken katsu here and since it’s one of the few times I’m downtown, Andrea and I went here for lunch. Andrea had the Chicken Katsu Curry Rice and I had the Chicken Katsu Sando Meal. The katsu itself was fine, but in general everything else kinda mediocre. Andrea thought the curry was…

Saru
Just an impromptu lunch after doing the Noe Valley Garden Tour. We had the Spicy Cracker to start and the 12-piece nigiri omakase. Satisfying lunch. https://sarusushisf.com

Lunette
We’ve been meaning to eat here ever since seeing it on thge Netflix show Chef’s Table Noodles (episode 4) which had a great story. Plus, we don’t often find Cambodian food. So after work (Andrea was in the office) we met up at the Ferry Building. The restaurant is very casual with only walk-in or…
