Okoze Sushi Best Toro by far.
9
Better than O-toro? I demand a cook-off.

Amelie. Amazing happy hour (3 flights for $10), great atmosphere, and hot hot hot bartenders.
7
For those of us with shallow pockets, right up the street is an affordable alternative to Amelie: The Pour House.

Hipster Little Mermaid. It's a dinglehopper Eric, like you would even know.

Pedro's Cantina. Jalapeño, need I say more?
14
Please do. Never heard of it.
43
Pedro's is across from the ballpark, connected to Pete's Tavern. They make their Margaritas with a jalapeno-infused simple syrup. It's amazing.
9
Sounds spicy and very innovative. Next time I'm there, I'll give this a shot. I hope I can hang.
14
Wait wait wait... A jalapeño margarita? How have I never heard of this and why have I not had it yet?
7
Spicy margaritas are sorely underrated. It adds a teary dimension of sadistic pleasure to the experience.
9
I will try and see how this compare to Tacolicious habenero infused marg!
43
OOH, and I will have to do the same for Tacolicious!

Andalu... Great group tapas. They do a fixed price which really helps with large groups!
7
I've read some reviews but they're all middle of the road. What do you like best?
43
Fondu, mac n cheese, bacon meatballs
9
Hailey, where is Andalu located?
7
You've silenced me with your suggestions. They sound so good.
43
Derrick... it's at 16th and Gurrero
9
Thanks, Hailey. What did you like there?

Cinta Salon... Union Square. Skye is the best stylist. I love her.
43
2
Cinta Salonl!! The first time stylist Skye cut my hair she was still a "student" of sorts. I paid 25 bucks. Over a year later she's now a top tiered stylist who makes sure I get the best cut and deal possible. She's got the guts to go with trendy funky styles, the guts to tell me when I should reconsider and the guts to have my needs ahead of making a buck. I love her. The end.
By "inta" I mean "Cinta"

Depends on your neighborhood and your team! Some of my favs are Greens Sports Bar, The Boardroom, Bus Stop, Aces Zeke's Diamond Bar.
9
Bus Stop! On Union Street, that's right. A fave old haunt of mine.
21
Jenna and Hailey, who are your teams?
43
NFL: PACKERS
NCAA: BADGERS
5
Bus Stop is a good spot. They don't serve food (apart from popcorn and the occasional free pizza), but they have a bunch of menus and you can have food delivered there.
9
NFL: Raiders, baby! NCAA: Ducks (go gang green!)
9
Are there no Niner fans in SF? WTH!? RED AND GOLD ALL DAY!
9
Oh, there are plenty! I faced an entire stadium full of them today at Candlestick Park playing against the Cowboys.
9
Too bad there was hundreds of Cowboy fans, too. :(
9
...I was one of them :::ducking::: But only in support of my friend who is a rabid Cowboys fan and begged me to go with her! She MADE me go, and MADE me wear a blue wig and cowboy boots. I did feel a little traitorous.

Nothing, absolutely nothing better than the iced coffee farm:table.
5
Where is Farm:Table? What kind of atmosphere does it have?
43
farm: table is a super small place on Post between jones and leavenworth. It's got a short daily menu for breakfast and lunch the food is fantastic and all locally grown and raised (I think they have their own farm or just one they work with hence the name, the idea of from the farm to the table). It's got one big table that sits around 6 so you get friendly with the other customers. I really enjoy it.
13
mmm sounds good! I love iced coffee!
5
I'm heading there for brunch tomorrow!
5
That sounds wonderful! I love a good community table. Bri, how was it?
5
I went for a latte, instead of the iced coffee, but was not disappointed. It's a pretty teeny place, so if you're going with a large group, you may want to take your brunch plans elsewhere. It's certainly worth checking out though!
5
I like to go to the Pork Store Cafe or Cafe Gratitude for lunch, although the "gratitude" schtick at Cafe Gratitude can be a little heavy handed. But...their raw, vegan cheesecake is amazing.
43

1. Miller's East Coast Delicatessen for a Reuben 2. Anywhere I can get a "Thanksgiving" sandwich (including Cheese Plus on Polk and Nook on Hyde) 3. Ikes (for everything... as well as Thanksgiving sando)
26
The mighty Reuben has tempted me many times.
25
Not sure there's anywhere I won't go for a truly impressive Reuben.

U-Lee teeny spot on Hyde and Jackson. BEST Chinese food in the city.
5
Any particular dish that you like there? There are a lot of Chinese places in the city and sometimes it's really touch and go.
43
I agree!!! They're known for their potstickers, which are HUGE. I'm also a fan of the walnut prawns.
18
I love me some perfectly cooked walnut prawns!
5
That sounds excellent. Reminds me of a tiny Chinese place I went into years ago in the Sunset. No one in the place was eating off the menu...so we had to tell the waiter to bring us what the other tables were having. Best. Prawns. Ever. I wish I could remember what it was called!
18
so much yumminess, such little time.

Zarzuela. I also like Comstock Saloon or 15 Romolo for a light bite and drink. If the date goes well I drag em to The Saloon for some local live blues! If they can hang with that crowd I'm sold.
5
That sounds really fun! I love live music. I was at Cafe Du Nord the other night to see a bluegrass singer I like. Have you been?
43
I have not! It's definitely on my to do list!! Anyone you recommend seeing there?
5
Gosh I haven't looked at their calendar for awhile. What kinds of music do you like besides jazz?
Zarzuela has the best tapas in the city, bar none.
5
Yeah? What's your favorite tapa (tapas?). My favorite place, Ramblas, closed about a year ago. ::sobs into pillow::
43
1
15 Romolo. Track 42, every time.
5
Where's 15 Romolo? IS Track 42 a beer? A cocktail? I'm curious about this place.
43
it's in North Beach. 15 Romolo is the actual address, its a small alley just east of Columbus off of Broadway. Track 42 is a cocktail, a delicious cocktail.
5
What's in this delicious, delicious cocktail? I wanna try it!
43
42 below manuka honey vodka, basil, unfiltered apple juice, lemon, egg white
5
Oh good lord. I feel like running out the door and going right this very second. Sounds like absolute unfiltered heaven to me.

Tahoe! Day on the slopes followed by a day at the spa to recover.
5
That sounds like such a good time. Any spas or hotels in Tahoe that you really like?
43
No! I have never had the luxury which is why it's a dream getaway! :) I'm sure there's lots of great places, someday.... sigh
5
Right? That's why we need things like Pinchit to help us realize these dreams...
21
What's your favorite place to ski in Tahoe? I've only been to Kirkwood and Heavenly, and Kirkwood definitely wins for me.
43

Wayfare Tavern. Just thinking about it makes me drool.
6
I am going here tonight! What to order?
43
Fried Chicken. And if they still have the bacon wrapped dates for appetizer you gotta get that too!!! I'm drooling for you already.
6
Sounds delicious. You're on! I will let you know how it goes!
5
YES! Their pulled pork is really good too!
43

Easily The Fillmore. The atmosphere, the acoustics, the legends...
6
Have you seen any good concerts here recently?
43
last show I saw there was Yeaysayer, the week before that I saw the Kills... both great shows!
Good choice! I saw the Get Up Kids at the Fillmore last time I went. I love the atmosphere and whole interior design of The Fillmore. Very intimate.

The Bacon Bacon Truck. Need I say more.
7
i have yet to find that truck! i am dying to go in my "i love bacon" t-shirt.
43
Rumor is the truck lurks around SOMA
26
Had me at bacon.
43
AMEN.
6
Alright, mission for the week: Track down the Bacon Bacon Truck. Everyone is talking about it!
49
If you love bacon you should try these delicious treats: http://noshthis.com/
Bacon Crack is supposed to be amazing!
28
What kind of stuff does the BB truck have?
43
fries with chunks of pork belly, lotsa sandos, and even chocolate covered bacon.
18
There's a funky store in Sausalito that sells a lot of bacon products... bacon air freshener, bacon lip balm, bacon bandages
28
bacon wrapped bacon, bacon smoothies, bacon cake...
18
I'm surprised bacon lube has yet to be invented!
43

I'll never back down from my undying love for Golden Boy Pizza.
5
Totally. It's pretty far away from me but every time I'm in North Beach it's the first stop. What's your favorite choice for a late night slice there?
43
whatever is fresh out of the oven!!! Hopefully combo or peperoni n sausage

There is never a dull moment. Any day you can find a dozen different activities to partake in! Such a social city, I thrive on it!
Agreed. How do you stumble on most of the activities you find?
43
A combination of different social networking sites, friends, and knowing people who work at local businesses. Heck... even SF Weekly sometimes!!
7
i always turn to funcheapsf....it shapes my entire weeks worth of activities.

Parks!! My favorites are Washington Square and Dolores

There are so many excellent parks in the city.
