If you're coming into town, maybe we could meet up? PM me, I'll send contact details. Now, some actually suggestions from me, by category of cuisine, just off the top of my head: Cal Cuisine Firefly Spork Foreign Cinema (go on a warm night and get seats in the movie theater -- reservations required) French Chapeau! Thai Thep Phenom Marnee Thai (on 9th Ave.) Italian (pasta) Locanda Bella Trattoria Bar Bambino Pizza Pizetta 211 Delfina Pizzaria Little Star Seafood Woodhouse Farallon (mostly for the decor) German Suppenkuche Peruvian Limon and Limon Rotisserie Fresca Indian Udupi Palace Dosa (on Fillmore) Sushi Ebisu Sushi Grandeho's Kamekyo Rustica (actually Sushi + Tartar, Ceviche) Japanese Noodles Mifune in Japantown (either one) Saiwaii Ramen I don't have specific recommendations on Chinese restaurants, except to avoid Grant Street and "Chinatown". Actual Chinese people eat in the Richmond and Sunset districts. More tommorrow! |

Ivy, Oh, you'll also want some brunch & lunch places: Brunch Ella's (weekdays only) Boulange Bakery (any location) Pork Store (for really calorie-loading) Kate's Breakfast (may have gone downhill somewhat) Brenda's (on Polk) Sears Fine Foods is an fun experience for the little pancakes, once. Don't order anything but pancakes, and it's definitely not worth waiting in line for an hour. Note: good brunch places in San Francisco generally develop extensive lines by 10am on weekends. If you don't want to wait in line, arrive well before 10. Lunch Most of the places above under Brunch The Ferry Building, including: - Boccolone - The Milk Bar - Ferry Plaza Seafoods - Imperial Tea Court Taquerias all over the city, especially: - Taqueria Cancun - El Farolito (for meat) - Tlaloc - Papalote Creperies, Including: - Crepevine - Crepes on Cole/on Hayes - Crepes-a-go-go (truck) - Squat & Gobble Dim-sum to go from Golden Gate Bakery (on Grant Street) That enough for ya?

My friend is taking her mom to SF in August for 5 days, they are staying in the Fisherman wharf area and will be on a budget...any of the above in that area or any new finds? I will send her the link to Fuzzy's blog but thought I'd ask too. thanks |

Jean, There isn't anything worthwhile, foodwise, near the wharf. But its a pretty small city with ample buses and taxis; they could get away from the wharf. They could try going to the upper Fillmore, for example. |

Jean- We enjoyed The Plant Cafe Organic not too far (I think) from FW. They could take one of the ubiquitous pedi-taxis but tell them to negotiate their rate before they climb in. |

Ok, totally touristy, but I had a pretty good breakfast bowl at Boudin's at Fisherman's Wharf (scrambled eggs and bacon in a toasted sourdough bread bowl). It came with butter and jam for the parts of the bowl not touching the eggs (you get the top that they've cut off and the inside pieces that they have hollowed out, all toasted) and coffee. I think it was $9. |
