CAV is where all my annoying coworkers go, so follow M.White there while I bask in the romantic glow of Hotel Biron.

its the other people in the bathroom they don't like

It's not that I dislike the look of Hotel Biron (incidentally the Hôtel de Biron in Paris is where the Rodin museum is housed) but their wine selection is nothing next to CAV, Sunset Magazine's 2007 wine bar of the year.

anything going on this weekend???
― strgn, Thursday, 20 March 2008 01:03 (sixteen years ago) link
dancing/shows
so say I want to ride Muni over a day or two. do I understand right that my best options are:
a) cash, i.e. carry lots of quarters around (are bills accepted on buses?) b) buy a 10-ride token coupon booklet at a muni vendor?
where would be the closest vendor to market and embarcadero?
― gabbneb, Thursday, 20 March 2008 02:02 (sixteen years ago) link
i think i figured it out
― gabbneb, Thursday, 20 March 2008 02:53 (sixteen years ago) link
Bills are accepted. They take pennies, so bring tons of them. If it is for more than two days, maybe look into getting a weekly pass, they are around 15 bucks I think and you can access Muni metro easier. If you use one of the tourist ones, you have to go to the gates with the attendants.
― svend, Thursday, 20 March 2008 03:00 (sixteen years ago) link
i bought my muni pass at HO HO SMOKE SHOP on geary and kearny (i deffo know it was geary but unclear on whether it was kearny)
― homosexual II, Thursday, 20 March 2008 04:14 (sixteen years ago) link
and the weekly pass was 15 bucks and i rode the bus like 3-4 times a day so it was worth it (i was in town for 5 days)

HAI GUISE thank u for this thread - I'm moving up in six weeks or so and this is definitely helping to ease the trauma of leaving my 13-year life in LA.
Cosmo - movie night!
Chaki - drink and smoke!
M White - ascots and absinthe?
I don't really know who-all else is up there yet...
― rogermexico., Thursday, 20 March 2008 19:26 (sixteen years ago) link
rogermexico, where are you moving?
― Michael White, Thursday, 20 March 2008 20:04 (sixteen years ago) link
I don't know yet!
I've been advised by a few who know me to look in the Mission first, with Potrero Hill, Bernal Heights, Hayes Valley and Noe Valley worth looks as well. Everything is of course priced 10% above what I'd like it to be...
― rogermexico., Thursday, 20 March 2008 20:41 (sixteen years ago) link
From what I gather from the people I know who are looking, the real-estate downturn appears to have fed the rental market.
I have friends in all those 'hoods. Do you know where you'll be working?
― Michael White, Thursday, 20 March 2008 20:45 (sixteen years ago) link
Do you know where you'll be working?
Not exactly... it's a startup so it'll be moving a few times by the end of the year. Probably ending up in the tech ghetto eventually.
But the CEO lives in the Mission, and it's rare for an HQ to be placed too far from the CEO's home address.
― rogermexico., Thursday, 20 March 2008 20:59 (sixteen years ago) link
Mission or Noe Valley or Bernal Heights seem best, then. My best friend lives in Noe Valley. It's a little too cluttered with stroller pushing, stuff-white-people-like types for my taste, but if I found the right place, I wouldn't turn my nose up at it. Bernal is cool but a tad residential to me but getting around isn't too hard and I think the parking out there is slightly less insane than in the Mission. I really like not having to drive in SF - I'm well placed for buses and walking.
― Michael White, Thursday, 20 March 2008 21:06 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm in the Mission, hit me up yo. M White OTM about Noe Valley.
― Shakey Mo Collier, Thursday, 20 March 2008 21:20 (sixteen years ago) link
We bought a house about 5 minutes and $300,000 away from our old apartment in Noe Valley out in Mission Terrace.

The ethnographic subtleties of SFs neighborhoods are very hard to parse from a distance, but this resonates. Thank you!
PS OMGWTFLOL you people really have a Zircon Place right off Diamond Street???
― rogermexico., Thursday, 20 March 2008 21:39 (sixteen years ago) link
I don't hate Noe. It's got some good food and good shopping but I lived in Marin as an adolescent and Noe Valley's faults are similar to Marin's. It's full of white liberals with kids 'cause it's a pretty good place to be and do all that. Compared to living in the Marina, it's heaven.
