I'm old and stuff, so I remember Puerto Alegre circa 1997: divier, dirtier, drunker and delicious.

A lot of misguided overly nostalgic San Franciscans will tell you that Puerto Alegre is still the queso grande among the numerous Mexican eateries in the city. They are wrong. Do not be taken in by them. It used to be good, but now it's not.

Like so many things (myself included) age has ...

It’s a lovely sunny Sunday in San Francisco. But the effects of Saturday night’s boozy indiscretions are making your head pound and you just want to dive headfirst into a bloody mary. But who wants to sit inside a dark bar on such a gorgeous day?

The solution to this dichotomous quandary is simple: get on a bike and head to the Mission, where you’ll find a high concentration of ...

Below is the email correspondence between me and my friend "Cletus" that resulted in a happy hour spent at John Colins:
Cletus: Drinks on Friday?
Me: Totally.
Cletus: Any ideas on the place?
Me: ....Um? I've gotten really bad at this picking places thing. You have any ideas?
Cletus: How about John Colins? Some people at work recommend it. (Mind you, everyone I work with is under the age of 25.)
Cletus: Sure. Might be good ...

I'll be the first to admit that Boston fans are hilarious, even admirable --- when playing against the Yankees. However, when Boston fans come to Oakland, their heckling isn't really all that charming. It's drunken, rude, and incoherent most of the time. Yes, they’ll even drunkenly heckle their own team.
(Alleged adulterer Alex Rodriguez of the Yankees was greeted by a sea of blond-haired masks at ...

Don't go to San Francisco expecting to find a bagel anywhere. I've looked for years, high and low, and never found a decent bagel; not like in New York, where the most amazing, mouth watering bagels can be found anywhere. The same is true for a good Chicago-style deep dish pizza. I'm not sure why it has to be like this, is it the fog? Is ...

I used to live in the Castro and this was my regular solo sushi place. It has since become the destination for the sushi-madness moods that strike my beau and I on a regular basis. The fish is fresh and delish, the prices are stupid reasonable, the service is friendly and the place itself is cozy and comfortable.

In the transportive space you feel like you could be in Tokyo ...

You may know about hikes in Marin and East Bay, but one small mountain is only 10 minutes away from San Francisco: San Bruno Mountain.

The California State Park maintains this location that can get an amazing view of San Francisco and the entire Bay Area on a clear day. This area is home to several species of endangered plans and butterflies.

The facilities includes parking, ...

Even though public transportation is sufficient in downtown SF, sometimes one just need a taxi to get some where in a hurry.

SF does not have the best taxi service, but one rule of thumb to get taxi is to go to or near hotels. Some of the major ones that cabs circle are Hilton by Embarcader, Westin St. Francis in Union Square, Marriott on Fouth by Mission. Even ...

For those who live in silver, The SF Museum of Modern Art opened the new photography exhibit, Martin Munkacsi: Think While You Shoot! this past Saturday. The exhibition will be on display until Sunday, September 16, 2007, bringing to light more than 125 pictures, magazine spreads, as well as print layouts spanning the 1920s through the 1940s, and providing a rare opportunity to view a ...
