People often ask me how I know where to eat and where all the cool hipster SF spots are. The truth is that I spend an embarrassingly large amount of time scouring the interwebz for anything related to food, desserts, and San Francisco and then I drag the next available friend to come with me.
I decided I’ll start saving you all that time blog lurking I do and give you a list each week of places and events to check out over the weekend. The starred ones mean I’ll be eating and/or drinking there. If you feel like joining, drop me a line!
