California Academy of Sciences
Posted on March 15, 2011 by KK in San Francisco.Quite the museum. It has a rainforest, an aquarium, a planetarium, a living roof, and also regular museum type things. If you come visit (WHEN you come visit) we’ll take you to see it. Also, it’s right up the street from one of our favorite bars, bonus. True story. Seahorse. This is how the Bay […]

City Walk: Dolores Heights (#97)
Posted on July 25, 2010 by Dan in 100 things, city walks, San Francisco.This city walk is in an area that’s sort of in between a couple of different areas that we commonly visit. Before we did this walk, we’d never been to this specific neighborhood. I’m going to guess that it’s because it’s on the top of a big hill. But since I went ahead and wrote […]

City Walk: Presidio (#88)
Posted on April 12, 2010 by Dan in 100 things, city walks, San Francisco.If you look up the Golden Gate Bridge on GoogleMaps, directly to the south, there’s a big green area – that’s the Presidio. It’s 1490 acres – much of which is just open space. It used to be a US military post, as recently as 1994. Congress wrote a law stipulating that if it wasn’t […]

City walk: McLaren Park and Excelsior (#99)
Posted on March 8, 2010 by Dan in 100 things, city walks, San Francisco.Ugh, that last post about the brewery tour would have been so much better had I written it when I actually remembered something – apologies. Hardly my best work. While Dan and I have a car this month, we’ve been trying to get to different places in the city that would take a wee bit […]

Anchor Brewery Tour
Posted on March 2, 2010 by Dan in San Francisco.Way back in January, we went on a tour of the Anchor Brewery which is a San Francisco based brewery that has been making beer since 1896. They also make whiskey and gin, holler. Their steam beer is wildly popular in the Bay Area, so popular that I had to call in October to get […]

Her Birthday from Her POV
Posted on December 8, 2009 by Dan in food, lists, San Francisco.Well, Dan gave you the basic rundown of what he did for my birthday – it was amazing! Not only did we spend the whole day eating (but not overeating – which was impressive) but he planned out a really detail heavy experience. Considering that I’m most often the planner/details oriented/organized one of the two […]

Her Birthday from His POV
Posted on December 5, 2009 by Dan in food, San Francisco.What do you get a foodie for her birthday? If you said dinner, you’d be wrong. At some point a few years ago, birthday dinner turned into a week of dinners to celebrate. She is constantly reading food blogs, aware of the newest restaurants, and even knows the names of top chefs in not just […]

City Walk: Potrero Hill
Posted on November 22, 2009 by Dan in city walks, San Francisco.Another day, another city walk post. This area of San Francisco is called Potrero Hill, which is south of the downtown area of SF, and is a bit more industrial than other walks we’ve been on. It is also a really tight knit residential community, and supposedly where the “up and coming” folks in SF […]

City Walk: Eureka Valley
Posted on September 18, 2009 by Dan in city walks, friends, San Francisco.We really have been in the Bay Area for selected parts of the summer, I promise. During part of that, Deborah was staying with us (before she abandoned us to move to Australia I mean) and one of the things she really wanted to do was go on a city walk with us. So to […]
