Tomorrow, A. and I are leaving for august vacanza! yipee!
But first, we are heading to my home, NYC, to see family and friends.
Then it's off to the west coast
for an 11 day northern california adventure. We will be visiting my best friend in San Fran\Marin County with some mini road trip adventures, here and here.
It's my first time to Northern California, so you can imagine, I am super excited, especially for the forest and chillaxing with my best friend, kira.

I have my little list of places to see in the city but would love love love any recommendations?

  2. Just visited your site today. Do you still need recommendations? I was born in San Francisco, grew up in Marin County and live in SF now. Also you are super close to the wine country: Napa, Calistoga, Sonoma. Favorites are Plumpjack, Gundlach Bundschu in Sonoma, Gloria Ferrer for their champagne tasting!

    Marin County:
    Muir Woods
    Avatar's Punjabi Burritos in Mill Valley
    Brunch on the dock of Sam's restaurant in Tiburon
    Tacos at Joe's Tacos in Mill Valley

    San Francisco:
    Legion of Honor museum
    De Young Museum
    California Academy of Sciences
    Ice cream from Bi-Rite
    Morning buns from Tartine
    Chicken mole burrito from Papalote and buy a jar of their salsa
    Dinner at the Front Porch
    Visit the Ferry Building and vendor stands
    Shop on Hayes Street for unique boutiques and vintage
    Stay away from eating at Fisherman's Wharf but DO treat yourself to Scoma's
    Visit Japantown for art supplies and books
    Have a beer at Zeitgeist
    Get pizza at Little Star (cornmeal crust)
    Have brunch at the Rotunda at Neiman Marcus department store.
