hilly, beautiful, funky. enjoy the people watching, work the glutes, find a dumpling spot or a hole in the wall coffee shop.

đOh, 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⊠đ€ Scomaâs (fancy lunch in fishermanâs wharf, get the Crab Louie and a martini) đ€ Tommyâs Joynt (no fuss meat sandwiches & cheap cocktails) đ€ Vesuvio (perfect bar, iSpy vibes in terms of decor) đ€ Tommassoâs (best italian. Get the chilled broccoli and some sort of pizza with arugula on it) đ€ Swensenâs (my favorite ice cream in the world. I miss it and dream of it. Get sticky chewy chocolate or banana) đ€ House of Nanking (go when youâre starving for Hot Food! you may have to wait a little but it wonât be that long. Get the green beans and if they have congee, by god get that. Also ask for chili oil) đ€ The East Bay!! (Go to Berkeley and Oakland. Theyâre better lol)

đa big pet peeve I have is people complaining about not having community or only having âparty friendsâ etc BUT are they inviting their existing friends or acquaintances to go out for dinner, go thrifting, watch tv, book club, people watch, day trip, mulberry picking? no, they are not. are they introducing their friends to each other? also not. i hate to be a clichĂ© sometimes you gotta put some work into having the relationships you long for. plus: youâre part of the problem. AND have some appreciation for the friends you have instead of focusing so much in what you donât.

Nothing annoys me more about the American culture than the lack of enthusiasm. If I invite you to go somewhere and your answer is âsureâ or âwhy notâ, Iâm taking it back. I do not wanna be surrounded by indifferent people. Itâs unworthy.
