San Francisco and what to do in it

prostitution = the Transamerica pyramid?

Wonder what the little prostitution bump out in the Richmond District is.

I'd imagine that street-level prostitution is a very small % of the total

not if you hung out at 19th and Shotwell

xp so there's a little prostitution house out in the Richmond District. Bets on whether it's Russian or Chinese?

maybe some sorta russian-chinese joint venture

Russo-Sino House of Ill Repute

lol that's probably it.

That place was always so quiet when I worked @ Green Apple actually. I doubt there were too many busts there.

I heard that THE original fern bar is in San Francisco. Can anyone confirm?

Supposedly it was Henry Africa's, but that's long closed.

a hooker pinched my butt on shotwell last year

wow, really? They don't just give that shit away, you know.

Except @ the 500 Club ;)

i went to george washington high school in the richmond, and they busted a house across the street for prostitution.

club hong kong was always shady, they were firebombed some years ago.

Except @ the 500 Club ;)

haha. I feel like I should clarify that but nah

i went to george washington high school in the richmond

class of?

maybe some sorta russian-chinese joint venture

"i went to george washington high school in the richmond, and they busted a house across the street for prostitution."

So did my brother!

Go to GWHS, not get busted across the street for prostitution that is.

Except @ the 500 Club ;)

Ha ha

Do the Mongolian hookers sneak up on you?

The Richmond is kind of notorious for maison closes in SF, though, I thought.

class of 2000, except i dropped out.

fixed.

I bought this in a bookstore around the corner from "Fig On A Plate Cart"'s old apartment:

The Adams of San Francisco

xp you probably read that before you read Dying Inside, amirite?

Actually I still haven't read either =/

Heading towards wine country (ie. north of SF) in September. Any particular recommendations?

Also, do you see David Sylvian pottering around the Napa Valley looking a bit sad?

I wanna go back to the Sonoma coast, it's well moody. I'm not a big wine person. I just like creepy trees, fresh oysters and making a screwface.

This month's Lonely Planet magazine is good on SF, in a holiday porn sort of way.

Adam, that's an entertaining book.

had no idea sylvian lived up there. i'm gonna go walk around looking for him.

fave restaurant up in yountville (just north of napa) is thomas keller's http://www.adhocrestaurant.com/

fave wineries (off top of head) are robledo, schraumbsberg, scribe & duckhorn

Favorite tasting we had in Napa was Hope & Grace right on the main drag in Yountville. If you spend the night most hotels have deals for free/discount tastings as well.

I so want to try these ...

2007 Big River Ranch syrah
Our boldest and most memorable syrah. A Dark hue and stirring bouquet of licorice and espresso lead to rich flavors of blackberry and caramel-tinged spice. |

2007 Big River Ranch petite sirah
Pipe tobacco, sarsaparilla, blueberry and black cherry. A cult favorite – petite sirah at its inky-black best!

this thread is totally gentrified!

Sylvian lives in new england, afaik

Quick straw poll for SFsters: where's your default go-to place for ordering in pizza? I tend to go for Deja Vu on 16th, their sauce is nice and herby and I like how when you go in and order a slice it's actually two slices, freshly baked.

Good question. We usually end up ordering Extreme Pizza, because they are quick, but I'd love to hear any actual GOOD places to order from in the Outer Mission/Excelsior area...

pizza for pick up is either delfina or little star, but tony's is the best pizza i've had in SF.

oh yeah, I guess I meant places that deliver - most (if they deliver at all) seem to do free delivery within the city, right? Deja Vu do. Voodoo.

Tony's looks niiiice!

my favorite SF pizza delivery was Victor's, but my impression is their delivery area is small (nob hill, russian hill, polk) Escape from NY is okay for a chain delivery place.

Have you guys been to the Hyde Out bar on I think Hyde and California? I had a lot of fun there

i think i just heard paxti's might start delivering soon. but don't quote me on that

re: pizza I pretty much just go with either Twin Peaks or Zante's. nothin fancy
