Hamano Sushi
We decided to go out to dinner on Wednesday evening instead of our usual Thursday since Andrea had to work on Thursday. Someone had inquired about Hamano on this fine discord group I’m in and since we hadn’t eaten here for so long. I first ate at Hamano back in the 90s when I was

Bones Bagels
After going for coffee at Neighbor’s Corner, we went to Bones Bagels to check out what it’s all about. When they first opened, there were lines 20+ long so we (Andrea, Andrea P., and I) were all interested to check it out for ourselves. Their speciality is sourdough bagels, perfect for San Francisco. Andrea ordered

Neighbor’s Corner
Andrea and Andrea P. went for a walk and stopped off at Neighbor’s Corner cafe so I met them there. I think is the first time I’ve had anything there (Andrea has been before). The place was packed inside and people sitting outside on this Friday morning with great sunny weather. I already had my

House of Prime Rib
We haven’t been here for a couple years so we were overdue to come try again. It’s such a San Francisco institution. I actually had a reservation because I had booked it almost a year ago (July 6 to be exact). Last time we were here, we just showed up at 4:30 to get on

Elena’s
It had been awhile since we had been here so I booked a reservation for Sunday noon. It was mostly full, but only one party waiting to get seated, so we probably could have walked in and there were plenty of seats at the bar. We were seated promptly after checking in and amusingly we

Wayfare Tavern
We were interested in going to Wayfare Tavern’s new location. I think it’s been over 20 years since I’ve eaten here (although Andrea had been more recently), so I really didn’t recall the food. We both did like the atmosphere more at the old location, but things move on. We both started with martinis, a

Akikos
My very good friend Chris was in town for the Databricks conference. Since he can’t eat red meat, I figured sushi was a good option (and a lot of restaurants are closed on Monday). Andrea and I had eaten here several times and most recently in December so it had always been a solid option

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
