i just roffled to '22 year olds with animal tattoos' because it is so accurate re: the mission.
yeah, city hall is placed terribly....a lot of the west side stuff is right on tho, especially 'streets upon streets of silence.'
and btw, european names is definitely the Excelsior. i used to live at the corner of Naples & Avalon, right near Edinburgh, Lisbon, etc...

Anyone else see the snowflakes falling in the financial district a few minutes ago?
― wmlynch, Monday, 7 December 2009 22:36 (fourteen years ago) link
heard it described as "light hail" - didn't see any myself. I'm on the 20th floor at Mission/Main
― unobtaintium (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 7 December 2009 22:40 (fourteen years ago) link
definitely saw some snowflakes. it was unmistakeable. i'm near 1st/market.
― wmlynch, Monday, 7 December 2009 22:41 (fourteen years ago) link
its 46 degrees in the shade in downtown right now so kinda hard to believe that it's snow.
― ~~dark energy~~ (Steve Shasta), Monday, 7 December 2009 22:52 (fourteen years ago) link
was on the phone with a friend yesterday and she reported hail in Cow Hollow
nothing but light rain in the Mission
― all yoga attacks are fire based (rogermexico.), Monday, 7 December 2009 22:54 (fourteen years ago) link
so it was just me and all the people in my office and the building across from us who saw it? cool, i'm so lucky.
― wmlynch, Monday, 7 December 2009 22:54 (fourteen years ago) link
There is snow all over the East Bay.

i'm in SOMA and i saw hail. there was no confusing it with snow, as it bounced.
― richie aprile (rockapads), Monday, 7 December 2009 23:53 (fourteen years ago) link
Was in North Beach/Financial district and felt a few flakes of snow/slushy rain. It did hail big blobs of hail earlier too.

does anyone have any tips for santa cruz? places to eat/drink?
― caek, Sunday, 3 January 2010 02:16 (fourteen years ago) link
Sadly, Santa Cruz doesn't have any great restaurants. The Buttery Bakery has delicious pastries, sandwiches, and lunchy food (disclaimer - I worked there while I was in high school).
― schwantz, Sunday, 3 January 2010 02:27 (fourteen years ago) link
thanks, will cycle up there for breakfast tomorrow. so far i have had an ok shrimp taco and been to the coffee roasting place.
― caek, Sunday, 3 January 2010 06:03 (fourteen years ago) link
book an hour at Well Within if you need some r&r. pretty epic place iyam.

I'm heading down there today, coincidentally... Hope you liked it!

the buttery was pretty great! i cycled out to the marine research center afterwards. i have to work for the rest of my stay now so no spa for me : ( but if tips for dinner tonight occur to anyone then let me know.
― caek, Sunday, 3 January 2010 19:44 (fourteen years ago) link
If you're looking for dinner on the upscale (not super-pricey tho) side, I recommend Oswald, on Soquel and Pacific. It's a fairly new but superb place run by awesome people.
― smothered in country gravy (Whitey on the Moon), Sunday, 3 January 2010 23:16 (fourteen years ago) link
Now I wish I stayed down there for dinner!

anyone recommend a travel agent/tour operator for a tour around san fran (and yosemite and anywhere else we should go while we're there)?
― djh, Sunday, 21 February 2010 21:22 (fourteen years ago) link
and vineyard recommendations would also be good.
― djh, Sunday, 21 February 2010 21:43 (fourteen years ago) link
What are you looking for tour wise? Like a bus thing? Or walking tours?
If you are spending the night in Napa Valley just see if your hotel has some sort deal worked out with the local wineries. We paid a bit more for the place we stayed in Yountville, but the fact that we didn't have to pay for tastings basically equalled out. The best wine we tried was actually in Yountville at Hope & Grace which has a little storefront just down from Bouchon.

Driving.
10-14 days.
Travelling from the UK.
― djh, Sunday, 21 February 2010 22:21 (fourteen years ago) link
Gotchya. Well you definitely don't need the car while in San Francisco as 99% of anything you want to do will either be walkable or one bus away. Do you have accommodations or an idea of where you want to stay?
― Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Sunday, 21 February 2010 22:53 (fourteen years ago) link
i might argue for the car if you anticipate wanting to take a daytrip to the redwoods or point reyes, which would be chill, i think.
― 69, Sunday, 21 February 2010 23:11 (fourteen years ago) link
maybe you could just use zipcar for that though, cause parking can be a huge annoyance
