    Last minute decision to go here for lunch/brunch. I had a great solo dining experience here last October, so was happy to come back and I was starving since I had gone for a run this morning and this was pretty late for me to eat. We were served the coffee cake to start, but

    We wanted something sweet after eating at Tacolicious and we’ve been meaning to try this new ice cream shop in our neighborhood. It’s on the far easter end of the shops on 24th St. so it wasn’t ideally located since it wouldn’t get a lot of natural foot traffic. It was pretty empty when we

    Tacolicious – Noe Valley

    We wanted to grab a quick lunch in our neigborhood and headed to Todo El Dia, but it looks as though they rebranded it as Tacolicious who owned them anyway. I think Todo El Dia was a slightly more casual concept since now they are doing direct table service (before it was more place your

    Hennessy Bar at Chase Center

    Last time we were here for a Valkyries game, we had heard about a Hennessey slushie, but it wasn’t on the floor we were on and didn’t have time to go up the bar, but this time our seats were in the section right by this bar so we finally got to try it. I

    Fikscue – Thrive City

    Before the Valkyries game, we decided to try out this Indonesian/Texas BBQ place as recommended by one of Andrea’s ex-coworkers when we saw them on Saturday (they were headed to the Valkyries game that day). The concept sounded very interesting. The original Fikschue in Alameda was number 44 on the Chronicle’s Top 100 Restaurants in

    Gott’s – Ferry Building

    ,

    One of Andrea’s ex-coworkers, Susan B., was in town so she put together a small get together with some of the ex-coworkers. We met up at Gott’s in the Ferry Building. Was quite crowded as all Saturdays are here (esp. since the farmer’s market is going). Gott’s did handle taking orders very efficiently and then

    I had been hearing about the corn pasta dish at Cotogna, but we had never had it, so I made a reservation for us to finally try it. This time I picked seating outside in one of their extensive set of parklets (they almost extend the entire block since they make use of the street

    Mamahuhu

    We were just looking for something low key for dinner. I’ve seen them advertise this double caviar fish sandwich on the sandwich board on the sidewalk when we’ve walked by the restaurant as we’re doing errands in the neighborhood. I haven’t eaten here in at least a couple/few years, although Andrea occasionally orders takeaway from

    Lehr’s German Specialties

    We were on a walk in our neighborhood. We’ve been meaning to go into this German goods store since it was resurrected after it went out of business and was bought by a neighborhood local and revamped and updated and reopened last November. We had always peeked in the window as we passed by. They

    Andrea hadn’t been interested in revisiting Angler so when Steven invited me for dinner, we decided to go since neither of us had been for awhile. The cocktails were very enjoyable. We mainly had them mezcal versions of other cocktails (e.g. penicillin, last word, negroni). There are some items off menu that you can ask
