Staying in this weekend? Treat yourself with the help of the following recipes from local bloggers: This crab bucatini recipe by Edible East Bay is, no joke, one of the best things I’ve ever made- and I burned it a bit! If you don’t clean the crab yourself, it’s very quick and easy. That’s my […]

Recipe: Apple bread
A Side of Sweet‘s apple bread took my household by storm. The first time I made it, Boyfriend – of ten years, whom I’ve lived with and fed for five – said it was hands down the best thing I’ve ever cooked. I wholeheartedly agree. This year, it was my go-to holiday gift for the […]

The City Taqueria
My go-to Mexican food order, when they’re available, is camarones a la diabla and watermelon agua fresca. Hidden in plain sight on Divisadero, The City Taqueria, bless them, hooked me up with both- and the best version of either I’ve had in months. A very fresh-tasting drink, and a good ratio of burning food to […]

Asakichi
It goes without saying that the service in Japantown is unparalleled. Unprompted, free of charge, the Asakichi staff offered to wrap our things, and we left with most of our purchases looking crisp and colorful: definitely a better wrapping job than I could do. Which is kind of a problem, because we also bought these […]

On the Bridge
Japantown’s On the Bridge is open – and, to hear the staff tell it, as busy as they’ve ever been! It got a bit too crowded for decent food photos. It’s just as well; I could look at the bar all day: It’s hard to see here, but the red light on the minion was […]

Presidio Bowl
Boyfriend and I have finally discovered the secret to Presidio Bowl‘s popularity: you pay by time, when you leave – not by game. Without the pressure to destroy my partner in a limited number of rolls, I found myself really nailing down the most effective ways to move my body. I’m a better, more mindful […]
