I have had a few visitors over the past couple of weeks and while I love cooking for guests, I certainly prefer to dine out at fun and delicious San Francisco joints. So if you ever find yourself in the bay area (especially in my neighborhood by the water) you wont be disappointed by these few favorites …

On top of the world
at the Top of the Mark. If you live here, are passing through, or if you are on vacation in San Francisco, you must stop at the historic 19th floor of the Mark Hopkins. The views are incredible and will simply make you smile at the beauty of the city. And the drinks will put …
A Feast From Morning Till Night
Do you see this pile of bacon!? Yesterday morning some friends and I had front row seats to this mound of meat while enjoying a delicious brunch at Plow. I had an incredible plate of eggs. But if you are heading here any time soon the lemon ricotta pancakes are where it's at! Yes I stole …
Every Monday should end with Sushi
Monday's are always full of plenty of emails, work and wishing it was not Monday. So what better way to get through a Monday but thinking about sushi for dinner all day. That is what I did yesterday... When the clock struck 5:30 I was out the door and on my way to Japanese heaven. …
Tea Leaf Salad

Last night we braved crossing the threshold of a new local eatery and were sorely disappointed. We took some friends and were lured by the promise of yummy mexican, space to …
The Holiday Spirit
It's not every day that your co-worker comes in waving her finger with an engagement ring on it! After the announcement of a new fiance in the office everyone was on a high - especially because it was a Friday before a 3 day weekend. Friday was definitely a day of treating one's self to …
Hosting
Saturday was a day of cleaning. My boyfriend's birthday was earlier this week and we decided to celebrate with our friends last night, which meant good times AFTER we did a good sweep of the apartment. (It's always good to have people over - it keeps your apartment in check hehe). Of course before we …
Kinda like a day back in college
Saturday definitely reminded me of a day back in college: some exercise, a lecture, free goodies and a night out. After another successful workout on the elliptical I showered and hopped in the car with Dave to head to an alumni event. This time it was a small lecture from a famed Brandeis professor and …
