Hotels By City: Cheap Hotels, Hotel Guides & Hotel Blogs

AT 2315 Clement Street, there is a little known (at least to non-locals) hamburger joint called Bill's Place. The only reason I know about it is I live in the area and I walked by. When I saw the "United We Stand" bumper sticker in the window, the chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, the red and white tile and the traditional 50s style counter I knew I had to try ...

Grudgingly, I'll admit that the best airport to do any traveling from in the Bay Area is the San Jose International Airport. It's small, it's cheap, and the people security are surprisingly kind - almost refreshing. Unless you have a car, though, San Jose Airport is practically inaccessible to the people of Oakland and San Francisco. Even if you did have a car, the traffic would not ...

My husband and I awoke early last Saturday morning and did something very strange. We drove to Antioch. Antioch is a town of 90,000 people about an hour away from San Francisco, past Oakland in the East, East Bay. Our trail guide (San Francisco Bay Area Must-Do Hikes For Everyone by David Weintraub) described the trail and it sounded amazing so we figured it was worth the drive. We weren't ...

May is almost here and it isn't too early to start planning your Memorial Day activities. Here is a brief rundown of some of the highlights for the weekend of May 26th through the 28th:

Baseball:
The Giants host the Colorado Rockies at At&T Park. Friday night is Fireworks Night. Saturday is On-Field Photo Night; the first 3,000 fans get to take pictures of the players on the field. Diamond Foods will ...

Suppenküche is one of my very favorite spots in San Francisco.

Located in an unassuming yellow building on a tree infested corner of Hayes Valley, a neighborhood otherwise known (these days) for its over-priced, trendsetting, hipster boutiques, pricey wine bars and the waft of six-figure salaries on a street surrounded on all sides by a rougher and far less moneyed element, Suppenküche is a sweet relief from the prentension, if ...

If you want to get quality original art at up to a 50 percent discount, drop by the SFMOMA Artists Gallery's annual Artists Warehouse Sale at Fort Mason. This annual event has been supporting local artists and allowing collectors to get great deals since 1993.

The sale runs April 25 to April 29, with a gala reception 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Wednesday, ...

I love yoga. It's one of my favorite things to do. It helps me be at peace, more flexible, be more in tune with my body, and tones my uncooperative hips. Before moving here from Los Angeles, I fell in love with Kundalini Yoga. Kundalini Yoga is a yoga that was performed in households in India. Yogi Bhajan brought it the West, first to Toronto but since ...

Nestled near the corner of Fillmore and Haight streets, Kate's Kitchen has long satisfied the brunch cravings of San Francisco's scruffy Lower Haight bunch. Serving up down-home cooking with a California twist – think Midwest farmer gone organic – you're always sure to get fresh, delicious food in a homey setting ...

Remember that 80's movie "Revenge of the Nerds"? Well, it looks like the nerds may have finally won. Bill Gates practically owns the world, even musicians have to be computer geeks nowadays, and gamers have online worlds like Second Life where they can ...

Any San Franciscan, native or not, will tell you that Fernet-Branca is THE choice drink in most bars throughout the city. The Italian import, most commonly compared to Campari, Jagermeister, and cough syrup, is less sugary than other licorice-flavored liqueurs and also has a higher alcohol content. If you stick to Fernet and ginger ale (the preferred method of chasing in San Francisco) and don't mix it with beer or ...
