If you've eaten too many burritos during your SF trip, try to do a mini-triathlon at the gym (30 min swim, 5 mi bike, 3 mi run)
Classiest place for breakfast in the hood. Sure, the bacon egg & cheese sandwich is $13, but is a reeeaaaallllyyy good $13 breakfast sandwich :)
You can't go wrong with their chicken sandwich. I also splurged on the $5 mango/chipotle/lemonade... and I'd do it again.
The omakase here is insane. Maybe best sushi I've had in the USA. Be sure to ask to try all the diff types of uni & eat something that's been blowtorched. (pic = wagyu, btw)
Totally worth a quick drive by to check out Jose Basso's landscape paintings. (were still on display as of Mar 2015)
Apparently all the Texas kids go nutty over the Tex-Mex queso ("it's super authentic!). A-okay with me... as long as I can dip my chipz in it.
I joked about ordering the "sausage sampler" (aka all 15 diff sausages) and my buddy said he did that once (with a group of friends!) and it was amazing. (ps. cold sausages for take-away are 50% off)
Bring a friend and do a spiltty-split with a crispy burrito & some crispy tacos. MAKE SURE YOU ASK FOR CRISPY! So good. ps. if you grab a seat outside near windows you can watch them cut up the pork!
I dunno how often they change up the "seasonal pizza" on the menu, but as of January 2014 the "chili-base, broccoli-sauce, four-cheese pizza" is one of the most delicious things I've eaten in forever.
Who needs mozzarella sticks when you can have POLENTA STICKS??!! (ps mozzarella sticks are better btw). Clam pasta was pretty good.
Packed w/ all the cool-kid tech folks (they're all investors!) and everything I tried on the menu is awesome. Standouts: the 1780 Old Fashioned, deviled eggs, pork trotter (!!), rocky road sundae
Classy, old school spot for a steak. Solid bernaise sauce. The house cocktail (shit I can't remember the name!) is a wee petite but go for it anyway. ProTip: Go splitty-split on 2 steaks w a buddy
Stand in front of the Big Buck Hunter machine and look up... there's a BRONZED BIG BUCK RIFLE!!! It's some kind of trophy and getting my name on it is my destiny.
A friend described this place as "where the Twitter kids go to spend their IPO money"... tho cheap compared to NYC cocktails IMHO. The "Informant" was best drink I tried.
Great old fashioned here... and keep an eye on the "paintings" hanging from the walls as their eyes shift their gaze around the room.
