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'd heard about the Parkway forever. Some mystical, magical place that played first-run movies, served pizza and most magical of all, offered beer to its movie-going patrons.

Needless to say I was skeptical. The fact that this wonderland was located in Oakland didn't help to convince me. Oakland is, like, totally FAR.

But at last, in the tow of the two people who had proselytized to me most enthusiastically about the ...

What makes a 4 1/2 star restaurant any different than a 5 star restaurant? Mangrosa, an Italian/Brazilian restaurant in the Northbeach neighborhood of San Francisco was voted a 4 ½ star rating on Cityseach and is described in the SF Zagat Guide as “where the beautiful people go”. Zagat is on the money — Citysearch could have done a little better.

You really can’t yell at BART passengers with attitude about your bike today – at least not like you can to all the people in cars that are trying to cut you off. To the people in cars, you can really yell or cuss whatever you want at them today. But people on the BART are just trying to get to work ...

I am all for inner peace and the alignment of chakras and an overall zen sensibility. Microbiotic veganism is okay too, if that’s your thing. But it’s nice to know that you don’t have to embrace your inner power animal in order to practice yoga—and sometimes you need a little ab work to go with your enlightenment.

It's hard to find parking in this neighborhood, but if you take BART to 16th Street or take J-Church line to ...
