  I mentioned here that we started a list of things we want to do now that we’re living in Southern California, so I thought I would share. I love to do anything outdoors, especially hiking or anything to do with the ocean, and there are also random activities and restaurants I’ve been wanting to try.
  
  I’m definitely still learning my way around here, so maybe some of these will get knocked off the list once I learn more about them, and I’m sure there are lots I’ll be adding as I learn about new things, so I’ll update this every once in awhile to see where we’ve been and what we thought, and any new additions.
  
  On that note, if you have any recommendations for things or places you love to visit, please leave them in the comments section!

  I’ve been wanting to go to Asia SF for ages, it’s basically a San Francisco rite of passage and I knew it would be a really fun night out, I just needed the right person to go with.
  
  Asia Sf is a bar and restaurant where all the waiters are in drag, and they do cabaret/burlesque style shows on the bar as you eat.
  
  I took my sister when she was in town last week, and we had a blast.The show was great, everyone was there to have a good time, and the waiters looked amazing, one of them had the best legs I’ve seen on anyone, period.
  
  The food was delicious as well, which was a pleasant surprise, and their lemon drops were divine.
  
  I would definitely go back there with anyone visiting the city, as they say at Asia SF, “welcome to San Francisco, where the women are strong, and the men are beautiful”.

  Happy long weekend!
  
  We are driving down to L.A. tonight, leaving right after work. I’d much rather drive down at night, it’s just 6 hours of singing and sleeping and then I wake up and we are there (sorry Derek).
  
  We don’t have a lot of plans, we’re going to tour a few universities tomorrow, but other than that we’re just going to creep around and explore, and try to decide if it’s somewhere we’d want to live.
  
  Other tentative plans include:
  
  A visit to the Santa Monica pier (and the Brandy Melville store right beside it)
  Breakfast at Toast Bakery
  A hike at Runyon Canyon
  Dessert at Bottega Louie
  The beach
  Visiting with Derek’s family
  
  And we found a really neat place to stay on AirBnB, it used to be a Catholic rectory so it has really neat architecture and stained glass windows, and a huge garden. And also a claw footed tub. I may never leave.
  
  I’m prettttttty excited to get going, is it 5 o’clock yet?

  I have a friend coming in to town over Labour Day weekend from L.A., and she was wondering about the best places to eat in San Francisco for a truly delicious, unique experience. I asked my food-loving co-workers for suggestions, and I got a lot of feedback. It turned into a pretty impressive list, so I decided to share it.
  
  I’ve been to the first few, and really enjoyed them, and I’m pretty excited to start eating my way through the rest of the list.
  
  Tacolicious– The tacos here are really delicious, they have a bunch of different kinds, and they have really interesting margarita flavours to try as well.
  
  Spruce– This place is a little more expensive but it’s really funny because if you go in here, every.single. person. is eating a burger. Their burgers are amazing, their fries taste like potato chips, and they gave us a free giant cookie when we came in for being first time visitors, but I was already so full from eating everything else that I was like “I’ll never be able to eat this cookie, I’ll have to save it for tomorrow”. And then I ate the whole thing before we even made it home.
  
  Cafe Delucchi– In North Beach, the “Italian” part of the city, I went for dinner here a few weeks ago with my Italian girlfriend and it was so friggin good. Then we went across the street for hot chocolate and cannoli’s, it was one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time.
  
  Tartine– I’ve never been here but I’ve had food from here. It’s pretty much an SF institution, and their flourless chocolate cake might be the best thing I’ve ever eaten.
  
  Flour and Water– Pizza and pasta, came very highly recommended
  
  Thanh Long– Vietnamese fusion cuisine
  
  Burma Superstar- Apparently a very unique experience.
  
  Yank Sing– Deem Sum
  
  State Bird Provisions– This place has a constantly evolving menu, and is apparently a cliche, but classic San Francisco suggestion
  
  Golden Boy– People are pretty crazy about this pizza place.
  
  Frances– A bit expensive but really good food-
  
  AQ– Uses seasonal ingredients to make brand new
  
  Mission Chinese– Life changingly good Chinese.
  
  Swan Oyster Depot– A place to get very fresh seafood. I’ll be taking my sister and brother-in-law here for sure.
  
  Foreign Cinema– I’ve heard the food here is amazing, and the really cute thing is that they show movies on the wall of the court yard.
  
  AsiaSF: It’s a bar and restaurant but the servers are really beautiful drag queens. It’s apparently a must do for visitors to the city, I might take my sister there when she comes in to town tomorrow.
  
  The Latin American Club: If you like margaritas as much as I do, and I’m not sure that it’s possible to, you should check this place out.
  
  And the final suggestion I was given: get a bacon wrapped hot dog in the mission. We used to go to Mazatlan all the time to see my Grandpa, and the bacon wrapped hot dogs they sell on the street at 2 a.m. are a thing of beauty, so we’ll see. Big shoes to fill, and what not.
  
  I’d love to get more suggestions, so if you have any for me, please leave them in the comments. 🙂
