Godzilla Sushi – Small but mighty

"Godzilla Sushi" San Francisco is my favorite sushi place, because it is a refreshing break from the trend. It's very cheap. And the wine is even cheaper!

Front Porch – Stay for the bourbon

The "Front Porch" is my favorite place in San Francisco for Southern cuisine. And... bourbon! They offer at least 5 different brands of bourbon at a time.

"El Metate" San Francisco is my favorite place for tacos. And as local as it gets. I take tacos very seriously. Some may say too seriously...

Roosevelt Sip N Eat – Back in the game

"Roosevelt Sip N Eat" San Francisco has two things going for it: the tamales and the charm. Roosevelt's has been a staple in the Mission for over 80 years.

About me

About me
I grew up in Vacaville, 45 miles east of San Francisco, and moved back to San Francisco 3 years ago after spending 8 years in Washington, DC.

While I was on the East Coast, the Bay Area was never far from my heart or email exchanges. People would constantly ask me, “What unique things should I do when I visit San Francisco?” I would write back pages and pages of suggestions.

Why San Francisco?
San Francisco combines the trappings of urban life: food, art, and music with true natural beauty. I love living in place where neighborhoods have a distinct personality. When you wander the streets of San Francisco, you will soon discover that every neighborhood is a self-contained village.

They say California is the one state that has everything: big cities, small towns, mountains, and oceans. Well, San Francisco is a snapshot of California contained in 7 square miles. You can hike mountains, go to the beach, and eat at a hole-in-the wall pub or a world- famous bistro, all in the same day.
