While clearing out my inbox this weekend I found a detailed list of what I did each day in San Francisco and realized I never actually got around to ever posting it. I’ve been there a couple times now and this trip I saw more in 3.5 days than I did over 6 days the last time and all of it was totally worth it.

Day One (trying to reacquaint myself with the city)
Drove around Potrero Hill.
Drove around SoMa.
Walked through Chinatown (it’s huge – the largest Chinatown outside of Asia).
Walked a portion of Downtown.
Walked along the main drag in North Beach.
Got pumpkin fudge at Z. Cioccolato (they let you sample as much as you want!).
Killed time by getting a glass of wine at Tunnel Top before dinner.
Dinner at Bar Crudo (GET THE CRUDO SAMPLER).
Drove home through Nob Hill.
Stayed the night in Pac Heights.

Day Two (walking, walking everywhere)
Breakfast at La Boulange on Fillmore (best breakfast)
Walked along Fillmore Street …
Down in to Cow Hollow …
And along Union Street …
Into The Marina.
Made a quick stop at the Chestnut Street Apple Store to Twitter (follow me!)
Walked up the Lyon Street stairs (yikes! but the view is to die for at the top)
Took an afternoon rest.
Drove over the Golden Gate …
To Mount Tam …
Then went by Stinson Beach …
Over to Muir Woods to go on a short hike and see the red wood trees
Then drove over to Mill Valley …
Where we ate at Avatar’s Punjabi (Indian/Burrito joint: we got a lamb and pumpkin curry burrito. Delicious.)
And then hit the Depot Bookstore.
Drove back into SF over bridge …
Through the Richmond.
Enjoyed some pumpkin beers at Matt’s.
Geeked out for a bit.
Walked to Godzila on Divisadero with Matt and Drew.
Feasted on sushi.
Then walked through Japantown.
Down to Fillmore where we sampled the flavors over at Tango Gelato.
Then, we went home and crashed.

Day Three (Last full day, sniff.)
Went to Tartine for Breakfast (oh. holy. jesus.)
Walked pretty much the entire Mission …
Up and down 19th …
Hit Dolores Park …
Walked Valencia.
Then over to Hayes Valley for some shopping.
Went into Nomads where I found my new awesome laptop bag
Hit Blue Bottle Coffee Kiosk and had the most amazing latte ever. Like seriously. EVER. In my whole life.
Went to see the team over at the Design Public office.
Decided to grab lunch in Russian Hill at Nick’s Crispy Tacos (again, oh. holy. jesus. If you go, make damn sure you get it “Nick’s Way”)
Then drove to North Beach and saw Coit Tower.
Made the obligatory drive down Lombard Street.
Then over to Alamo Square (Full House!).
Went back to Matt’s to shower and change for dinner.
Hit 111 Minna to meet some friends and have a drink.
Then bounced to Zuni (in Hayes Valley area off Market).
Called Genki from Zuni (NERDS) to make sure they were still open.
They were.
Ditched out on dessert at Zuni to head over in the Richmond.
Finished out the evening at Genki with a vanilla banana and nutella crepe. (!!!!!)
Then went home so full I wanted to die.

Day Four (going home. BOO)
Made shrimp and eggs at home.
Walked around Japantown a little more.
Hit Burma Superstar for lunch (GET THE TEA SALAD).
Headed to the airport.
Cried.
