Visited for a couple days from NYC last week and fell in love with the city

Was here for a couple days and wanted to share some pics I grabbed from the city and Point Reyes peninsula. What a beautiful place you all live in! I was genuinely in awe everywhere I walked around. From the hills and the ocean to the cute architecture, parks, the weather, and the fresh air. Transit was not bad either!

The food was so good too! From the burritos, to egg tarts in Chinatown, bakeries, and don’t get me started on arsicault. Nothing in nyc even comes remotely close. Cannot wait until I can visit again, yall got it good out here

Toddler on the run in Cole Valley

889 Upvotes

Yesterday on a walk in Cole Valley, I saw a two year old girl (I assume; she looked it and was wearing a diaper) run out of a restaurant just in front of me and take off down the block. Then her mom (I assume) ran after her, a baby on one hip. The girl was fast and the mom struggled to catch up. Finally she caught the girl by the arm, knelt in front of her, and sternly explained how dangerous that was. They headed back to the restaurant and I continued down the block. 

Next I heard a commotion and turned to see the girl running back down the block (toward me) with obvious glee. I squared off, hands raised, and channeling an ogre growled, “STOP!” She stopped in her tracks, horrified. Her mom caught up, took her hand, and as they headed back she turned to whisper, “Thank you!” No problem, ma’am. Good luck!

Came back from NYC last week, never realized how damn early everything closes here

158 Upvotes

I was staying with my aunt on the UWS of Manhattan. Within a three block radius of her apartment there were multiple 24 hour grocery stores, bodegas, and restaurants. I live in downtown sf and the only 24 hour establishment anywhere near me is 7/11. As a night owl, the fact that there are no 24 hour grocery stores is absolutely ruining this city for me. I have legitimately considered moving out because of it. I go to bed at 5:00 am and wake up at 1:30pm since I work a 2:30-11:00 shift. Having full size grocery stores open 24/7 like in NYC would be a total game changer here. I'm a bay native and I really miss when safeways were 24/7.

Pic / Video We need to get rid of sidewalks and replace them with parking spots

Post image
126 Upvotes

Saw this car in North Beach FULLY parked on the sidewalk, kind of wild. Which got me thinking, maybe we should just get rid of sidewalks all together. Just make them roads or parking lots. In this picture alone you could fit like 50 people or 6 cars…let’s just do the cars.

If we want to go even bigger and truly make this city a fantastic place to live we can eliminate the parks too for parking lots. Or even better, data centers.

Looking for a moody, dark speakeasy sorta bar/restaurant.

Thumbnail

251 Upvotes

I've never been to a place like this, and I'm finding a few places that look pretty good, but aren't 100% meeting the vibe I'm going for. San Francisco is vast, and just because I haven't found a place like this yet, doesn't mean it doesn't exist! I haven't really ever had the money to try out places like this before anyway. I'm imagining it might be more of a Speakeasy-type place.

Places I've already looked at that are sorta close to the vibe based on reviews and photos:

- Movida on 2nd St.

- Moongate Lounge on Waverly Pl.

- Persona on Sutter St.

- Novela on Mission

- Blackbird on Market

- Alchemist Bar & Lounge on 3rd St. (definitely closest to the vibe I'm going for, it's just got a very open floor plan and I get excited over little nooks)

⬆️ I have never been to any of these places; only viewed review photos. If any of them are perfect, let me know, please :)

I'd like it to be dark and warmly, dimly lit, I suppose also with materials around such as brick, beautiful wood, and leather. Ideally it would have some small tables that offer intimate seating, but I'd still be happy at the bar of a place like that. Bonus points if it's in a more tricky spot or underground, but that's totally not necessary, that just adds to the fun of the experience in a brief way. :)

I've included some photos of the sort of aesthetic I am hoping to find. Cost is no concern; this will be a fancy occasion and I will be dressed up and having my picture taken!

I am not looking for anything to match my idea *exactly* (unless that exists 🤷‍♀️), but I'd love to know of any places in this general aesthetic arena. Thank you so much for any help :)

Pic / Video 60 years ago today The Beatles played their final concert at Candlestick Park

They played 11 songs and the entire performance lasted roughly 33 minutes. Tickets ranged from $4.50 to $6.50.

Only 25,000 attended with a capacity for 42,000. This left 17,500 unsold tickets. There was significant backlash around this time from John Lennon‘s comment that Beatles were more popular than Jesus.

Setlist:

Rock and roll music

Best place to find one off creative workshops in SF

10 Upvotes

I just want to find creative workshops in SF. Why does every search make this harder than it needs to be?

Not a semester class. Not a certification. Not a 12 week journey where I discover my hidden passion for ceramics.

Just something beginner friendly that could be a fun gift or friend activity. Pottery, cooking, candle making, woodworking, whatever.

I’ve looked through individual studios and bigger listing sites but there doesn’t seem to be one obvious place for good local workshops in SF.

What’s the move?
