Ok... I am in love! San Francisco is charming, real, sexy, laid-back and ... has a great sense of humour! Been here for over a month now, and I am never moving out. I am going to pull a Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction, if I ever have to leave the city :).
In the meanwhile, I am maintaining this spreadsheet with all the places - restaurants, pubs, bars, clubs, galleries- I want to visit in the city. As TO DO Lists go, it's the best- and each tickmark has given me genuine pleasure... and the next day, a brutal hangover. Anyways, here's the lowdown on my best city experiences so far- yummy lychee bubblies at Bar 821, can't-believe-it's-couscous at Medjool, addictive desserts across the road at Belganos (take my advice! no matter how much self-control you think you have, never ever live across the road from a gelato place), the best cocktails and the worst hangover of my life at Bissap Baobab, cheap-and-best Mexican food at Papalote, overly crowded on weekends but must-visit on a weekday to make up my mind abt Jade Bar- the list goes on and on. Each tickmark only creates more tickmarks to explore. And once I am done with all the bars and pubs and clubs, I am going to go out and get me some culture. No really, I am! For the time being, I am quite happy with my neighborhood bars on the weekdays, and the exotic far-flung all of 3 miles away kinda lounges over the weekends. The best part is, you can walk almost anywhere and hobble back to bed when you decide to call it a night! Have I already told you I am never leaving?
