San Francisco and what to do in it

It worked for the schefter and me..

Sorry drink/be social with complete strangers. It's got plenty of tables if you want to just do your own thing too which is nice and it's not loud at all.

Yeah, I'll grant you it's lame for that.

don't listen to all these married shut-in NIMBYS... ;-P <3

STEVE SHASTA GUIDE TO BARS DOWNTOWN SF:
$$$$: Heaven's Dog, Rickstop (someone else paying? invite me too!)
$$$: Rye, Ettiquete (both non-weekends!)
$$: Tunnel Top, Owl Tree
$: Ha-Ra, Brown Jug

orbit room used to be THEEE best cocktail in SF but the main bartender jumped ship and does Youtube cocktail recipe shows.

ed what is your height/inseam.

"orbit room used to be THEEE best cocktail in SF but the main bartender jumped ship and does Youtube cocktail recipe shows."

The wacky lady? Really?

Owl Tree was more fun before they changed the decor.

Heaven's Dog?! Really?! My neighbor takes me there all the time and I find it awfully expensive for the quality of the food.

I have to try Etiquette.

Steve, Ha-Ra isn't really downtown.

One of my favorites, which is FiDi downtown is Cafe Claude which has largely morphed from being a French watering hole to being a biz district lunch spot/date night dinner joint. There's a bartender there named David, from Uruguay, who's a total babe, really nice, and a rather serious bartender about wines and mixed cocktails and the drinks across the street at Gitane are pretty good, too.

yeah, don't eat at Heaven's Dog... there are 2 parts to the space, the restaurant (small) and the bar (big)... the cocktails are probably the best in SF no joke... but the price is comparable to NYC, Moscow, Singapore, Tokyo, Oslo.

Oh, I'll eat there if he's paying. ;) Haven't been to the bar but every time I've been it's been 'full'.

last night in SF - at home nursing an ankle sprain after jumping off a wooden stump while drunk. :( SF's very fun though - we made it out to Taqueria Cancun in the Mission (great) and to Jay's Cheesesteak's (pretty good but I'm from Philly so I reserve the right to be bitchy). tried going to the Little Chihuahua but my friends are lol unemployed so we ended up eating at the cheaper King Foot, which was pretty good. got two dollar pints at Bean-bag Cafe and this bar on Columbus, and spent tonight drinking Belgian ales at a place on Columbus and either Lombard or Greenwich, which is where I sprained my ankle (goodbye to lol NBA career). overall SF's really great, wish I could stay longer - flying out tomorrow night from San Jose. weather was beautiful and clear during my stay, which was a little atypical according to my friend. jealous of all you guys living here!

Phat Philly kicks Jay's ass. if you ever come back and are hanging in the Mission, check it out. Course if you're from Philly why waste a meal on a SF Cheesesteak when there are so many other great places in the Mission.

haha I saw a place today that said 'SO. PHILLY CHEESESTEAK' and got all excited, but had some Mitchell ice cream instead (awesome). yeah the Mission seems loaded - I was so happy to have had a destination in mind, otherwise I probably would have sat on the sidewalk and done some sort of Exorcist 360 degree head spinning because of all the great-seeming places that we passed by on our trek to Taqueria Cancun

sometimes i think i hate this town so fucking much:

haha what the hell

http://www.sfstreetfoodfest.com/

oooh! I am so there. that's just a few blocks from my house

I will be in SF around October 5.

I forgot to mention, I also saw a bunch of shitty experimental films at a bar in the Mission called El Rio, and had some shitty wings at Zeitgeist

should have gone for the cheeseburger at Zeitgeist. one of the best in the city imo.

I can't stand wings, but I've heard Kezar Pub is the only place in the city that does them well.

best wings in SF: San Tung in the Inner Rich, gotta get them salt/pepper or dry

best burger in SF: i really love rosamunde but that's only on Tuesday

yeah we tried ordering burgers but the kitchen wasn't making them :( xp

what's so good about Rosamunde's burgers? I love their sausages, but haven't had the opportunity to go there on a Tuesday.

this city kinda sucks for burgers tbh. the fact that Burgermeister always wins reader's polls for best burger in the bay is pretty sad. i like the Big Mouth burgers okay, I guess.

kezar pub wings are indeed good

sometime in the next 2 weeks SFans should go see American Casino at the Roxie.

Thought briefly this thread was: San Francisco and what to do about it

I am playing a show at the Bottom of the Hill wednesday, the 28th; it'll be the last show I play out for a while and there's a good chance I'll have to cancel at the last minute and ruin my reputation, but I'll try to be there.

rather, the 26th.

Hey all, will be back in town tomorrow for the On Land Festival over the weekend. Probably seeing Monotonix tomorrow night, but maybe a random FAP Friday night or the like, anyone?

I imagine everyone's seen this already

the thing that gets me about this, is that neither of them were actually sitting in the seat they appeared to be fighting over.

yeah clip is obviously missing whatever instigated the argument

still, I feel like I have been on that bus and have witnessed that fight amirite

I loves ya Muni!

there really can't be another city in the world with a higher % of crazy people on public transit

yeah, back in my Muni days, if i suspected a seat might be contested, i sat down, figuring possession is 9/10's of Muni law.

Early comments on youtube yesterday were comedy gold, including translations... eg, there are a pair of old men off camera goading on the Chinese lady in Chinese:

"Hit her!"
"Yeah, hit her til she dies!"

is there a thread for Muni stories? is this that thread? cuz uh I have a LOT

omg steve

i imagine there could be some pretty epic fights on the 38 geary.

Translation:

Chinese Lady: (0:09): This bitch got the nerve to yell at me for me asking her politely if i may sit down.
(0.48): If that bitch didn't want to let me sit down don't mean she got to bitch at me.
(0:59): I didn't yell at you bitch why you going off on me. If I don't stand up for myself, she won't get scared.
(1:44): Dare to pick on chinese people?
(2:05): This bitch hogging the seat and I asked nicely if I may sit and that bitch kept hogging the seat. She has no heart, always bullying chinese people.
Old Man#2(1:26): Hit that bitch.
Old Man#3(1:33): Beat that bitch ass.
Old Lady#2(1:37): Don't fight no more.
Old Man#2((1:59): Beat the f*@# out of her!

old man 3 otm

okay that makes sense. it was confusing because it looked like there were two empty seats, enough for each of them to have one.

women be bitching

the worst part of my life is when the 33 gets to the stop in front of amoeba and all the annoying runaways get on and are SO LOUD

i just remember taking the 19 a bunch of times where there'd be some guy with bleeding abscesses on his way to SF General.

eh kids don't tend to bother me as much as the crazy junkies cuz really you never know what the fuck a crazy junkie is gonna do (stab somebody, drop their pants, throw up, pick a fight, argue loudly about how Lou Reed was in Black Sabbath, etc.)

^^above examples all 100% true

hmm I left out "take a shit"
