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

Hyphy Burger
I was on an errand in Emeryville so decided to go to Hyphy Burger (which just had their grand opening last week) to meet Mira, an ex-coworker, for lunch. I went with the Hyphy Burger instead of the Burnout burger (although I was severely tempted) because I figured it would be better to try the

Cotogna
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

Obsidian Wine Co.
After lunch at Valley, we went to Obsidian partially based on the recommendation from Corner 103 and based on our memory of having had this wine before. The tasting room is set back slightly from the street of the plaza. We did a walk-in. They were fairly busy (packed inside and mostly outside) and they

Valley
We were looking for someplace for lunch. This place was listed as a Bib Gourmand in the Michelin guide, so why not. We took seating the patio area in the back under a large canopy to provide share to all of the tables. A large percent of the tables had young children/babies including a baby

Corner 103
We had a little bit of time in Sonoma and decided to just do tasting in the plaza. Andrea asked ChatGPT where to taste and this place came up as one of the top mentions. The tasting room was on a corner of course. We just did a walk-in and the place was empty. We
