- The Public bar and restaurant (1489 Folsom St., 552-3065). Eclectic environment which attracts the same kind of crowd. Well thought out menu and a crafted wine list for an affordable price.
- My perfect day spent in the San Francisco Bay Area:
- To get on my bicycle on a sunny day, ride down to the Embarcadero and follow it around the outskirts of the city, from the Bay Bridge to the Golden Gate. Take the bike lane over the Golden Gate towards the Marin Headlands where I find a choice spot to sit and stare at this beautiful place I live within.
