I happened to walk into Squat & Gobble on one of the first fully sunny days of this year. When the weather’s right, you can see straight down the hill to the ocean from West Portal – and the weather was right. A summer day in not-quite-summer. I’m a SoCal native, and the sun put […]
What’s not to love about La Corneta? Its counter service is impressively streamlined, its playlist is always banging, and they serve top tier carne asada and agua fresca in very generous portion sizes. There’s usually a long line at the Diamond St. location, but within a few bites, you’ll understand why. There’s really not much […]
Full disclosure: JEFFwithoneJ is a great friend of mine. He’s also an exceptionally welcoming personality who can joke with anyone about anything – which is what sets him apart as a high-quality local IRL streamer. He streams his early morning walks in and near Golden Gate Park. He’s a Bay Area native and loves a […]
It’s July again, and you all know what that means: time to get out while the sun stays up late… and to not leave the house without a full extra later of clothing. Here’s how to make, and where to find, the finest scarves in San Francisco. Try Some: If you’re into fiber art, Imagiknit […]
If you’re interested in dinner and a show, the tiny birds near Gott’s Roadside are bolder than any others we’ve encountered. We had a little sparrow-like thing actually dive at the food, then divert into Boyfriend’s face when he covered it up! Gott’s is just that good! Delicious fries, well-themed burgers, major points on for […]
“Fellow kids” content spotted in the Excelsior? And a beautifully designed building. A really 90s-looking house and, a few lots down, a really 80s-looking house near Lower Terrace: The Triangle placed for Pride! Pretty Vics near Laurel Heights:
El Rancho Grande in the Haight provides chips with every meal, alongside an excellent spicy red sauce. (You’ll have to trust me on this one; they don’t appear to have their own website.) El Toreador in West Portal, whose table salsa is as bright and somehow cohesive as their interior. Boyfriend and I went through […]
My boyfriend and I constantly try to outdo each other. In 2019, we were setting up plans to spend his 30th birthday in Japan… so come 2021, I arranged his gifts around a virtual tour, beginning at a konbini and ending at hot springs. He countered with getting me 30 books for my 30th, so […]
I made these for a panel tasting by my friends, who unanimously loved them all. If you have a blender and are willing to spend the time, they come out to about $5 in ingredients each! FoodGal’s hummus with miso, above, for a light umami kick The Civic Kitchen’s carrot hummus, which gets increasingly garlicky […]
The weather’s been so clear recently that I’ve been taking most of my photos blind: the angle I want while framing the shots is usually impossible to see for the sun. Until this month, this has worked out great. Here’s the only decent photo I got near Church and 30th:
