Helicopter pad hike
October 22, 2017 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 64 °F
Tons of trails throughout the hills, we started at the beach and worked our way up along the ridges past some old WWII batteries to an old helicopter pad, which is the highest you can get. Wide,Read more
The Trident
October 22, 2017 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 66 °F
This is the obvious place for anyone visiting Sausalito to eat--out over the water. Of course people who live here avoid it like the plague, but although it has a certain tourist-trap vibe, it'sRead more
Joinery Beerhall
October 22, 2017 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 64 °F
Tim and I walked along to this place, and had a decent IPA. The space is fine, the food looked good although we'd already eaten. It would have been nicer to sit outside, but there wasn't a ton ofRead more
Fish
October 22, 2017 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 64 °F
This place is so cool! It's all sustainable seafood, cash-only, lots of outdoor seating. We still weren't hungry, but we want to come back for lunch after seeing the menu. We had another beer whichRead more
Golden gate bridge
October 23, 2017 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 68 °F
First of all, how great is this photo? We enjoyed spectacular weather as we walked over the bridge from Sausalito into SF. It wasn't even windy, which is really unusual. It was, however, very loudRead more
Codmother fish and chips
October 23, 2017 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 75 °F
Yelp saves the day again. We were right in the heart of Fisherman's Wharf, and only Tim seemed to think that was a concern when deciding where to eat. Apparently he has never been caught in aRead more
Pier 39
October 23, 2017 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 79 °F
I'm a little embarrassed to admit we almost missed the sea lions completely. We walked along Pier 39 down the center, which is that gross, carnival scene that many port cities have. We were lookingRead more
Beer 39
October 23, 2017 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 79 °F
We shared an IPA flight. Tasty! This bar is on Pier 39, which is otherwise a horror. But this place is a little quieter, and had a decent selection of local beers, and a really nice bartender. ItRead more
Crafty Fox Ale House
October 23, 2017 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 81 °F
Great place, maybe not my favorite location... Right under the 101. But a great beer list. Temescal Wade Out IPA was the winner of the day.
Fermentation Lab
October 23, 2017 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 81 °F
The coolest thing about this place is its name. The beer was fine. The decor was strange and disconnected--mason jars of garlic cloves and chilis? I get that they are fermenting, but why? This is aRead more
Beer Store
October 23, 2017 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 79 °F
A much better choice! They have great beer on tap, but the real strength is the bottle shop. A very carefully and artfully curated selection of beers, many of which I hadn't seen before. Choose thisRead more
Bay model
October 24, 2017 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 82 °F
I am a big fan of quirky, free tourist attractions. This GIANT model of the San Francisco bay is one of the best things about Sausalito, IMO. Gives you a great sense of the geography and topography ofRead more
Almanac brewing taproom
October 24, 2017 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 88 °F
Last year, when we came out for Stu & Clay's wedding, this taproom didn't exist. But Tim knew it had opened, so we made the pilgrimage and it totally exceeded our expectations. Beautiful outdoorRead more
Golden Era
October 24, 2017 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
When Shimi suggested vegan Vietnamese for dinner, I was like, "fine, whatever." But this was really good! They do a lot of fake meat, which used to skeeve me out, but fake meat technology hasRead more
Barbary Coast Coffee & Pastry
October 25, 2017 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 77 °F
I stopped in here for a breakfast sandwich. The coffee was fine, but the food wasn't great and the counter service was downright surly. No do-over.
Daniel's
October 26, 2017 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 63 °F
I'm learning that no matter the Anglo (or male, in this case) name, these corner coffee joints in Union Square are all run by Korean women. At Daniel's though, the women are super-nice and the food isRead more
Run to Aquatic Park
October 26, 2017 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 66 °F
I knew running from my hotel would be a pain, and it was. I went down Market Street to the Embarcadero, stopping pretty much every block for a light. There were a lot of people out, but I'm prettyRead more
Yerba Buena Public Square
October 26, 2017 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 66 °F
Right outside SF MOMA, and very close to my conference hotel, this is an oasis of grass, fountains, and not even that many homeless people. I ate my lunch and read my book here twice this week, thanksRead more
Freshrolls
October 26, 2017 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 66 °F
This place is really interesting; I've now been here twice during my trip. Food is indeed fresh, and you can get it in a springroll wrap, as a bowl, or in a sandwich. It now occurs to me I've eatenRead more
Hard Water
October 27, 2017 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 73 °F
This photo is of a very pretty, very delicious, not-sweet cocktail I got at Hard Water. Shimi and I got the last table outside on a nice Friday evening, and really enjoyed our happy hour. Did thisRead more
The Slanted Door
October 27, 2017 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 64 °F
Here's something I'm realizing about myself: with few exceptions, I like eating in mid-range restaurants better than high-end ones. The Slanted Door is super expensive, and the food is very good. ButRead more
