Burma Superstar (i’ve only been to the Oakland location)
Bay:
Picante (Berkeley, best burrito I’ve had period)
Burma Superstar (Oakland, super good but super expensive)
South Beach/Drakes Beach (Marin County if you have a car it’s my favourite place in the world)
Boichik Bagels (i’m also a former NYer, they’re legit)
Bongo Burger (Berkeley, diner ass shit but fire. maybe it’s just nostalgia though)
Slash (Berkeley, the owner is a Levi’s freak who knows everything there is to know about Levi’s products, incredible vintage selection & knowledge)

Oh, the lure of San Francisco… I always dreamed I would end up living there as an adult because my parents lived there when they were young and hot in the 90s. I visited a lot growing up and was always enchanted. Ended up going to Berkeley for school and by then the vibe in SF… was already off. Expensive and full of tech bros wearing backpacks at bars and increasingly soulless. The housing crisis is devastating and visible on every street you walk down. I went last October for work and it felt so haunted.
But if you must…
🖤 Scoma’s (fancy lunch in fisherman’s wharf, get the Crab Louie and a martini)
🖤 Tommy’s Joynt (no fuss meat sandwiches & cheap cocktails)
🖤 Vesuvio (perfect bar, iSpy vibes in terms of decor)
🖤 Tommasso’s (best italian. Get the chilled broccoli and some sort of pizza with arugula on it)
🖤 Swensen’s (my favorite ice cream in the world. I miss it and dream of it. Get sticky chewy chocolate or banana)
🖤 House of Nanking (go when you’re starving for Hot Food! you may have to wait a little but it won’t be that long. Get the green beans and if they have congee, by god get that. Also ask for chili oil)
🖤 The East Bay!! (Go to Berkeley and Oakland. They’re better lol)

i lived in the mission for a year and sometimes i forget that! Ty for reminding me.
- taking a stroll at crissy fields. preferably on a sunny day. the view of the bay and bridge is awesome and really sells the im in san francisco
- if you want to splurge on eats please go to Zuni Cafe! It’s classy California chic. order a martini and a pile of french fries if you’re not up for a full meal
- for a fun drink there’s true laurel and any drink pairs with their patty melt (would also recommend just the patty melt🤓)
- my old dive haunt was the 500 club + they have a photo booth
- garden creamery has a rotational / seasonal ice cream menu that’s always yummy. grab a scoop and walk to dolores park
- the tea leaf salad!! at Burma Superstar
- catch a movie at the Roxie they have awesome programming
- don’t be afraid to walk up some hills. some random neighborhoods can have epic views
i hope you have a great trip 🫶

leaves you susceptible to dating someone for too long because they play a role rather than it being about who they are. if you go in open to every situation, it will play out as its supposed to naturally (sometimes with a little nudge)

go drink some right now
it’s good for your body and skin and has magical healing properties when consumed at the right times. currently it’s helping me beat a hangover
