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 ...

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.

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.

This is not generally the venue for snarkiness and curmudgeonly griping, but in this case it's just irresistable. In the interest of fairness, I'll say that the bad things I have to say about the Holy Cow may very well be the result of my (relatively) advanced age of 32. Maybe a 21-year-old would enjoy the top-40 hits of the '80s and '90s, the hoochie mama vibe, the leering, pimply, ...

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.
