san francisco food/shop tour: part 3

in Outer Sunset:

i've never spent much time in Outer Sunset, but it's extra foggy, peaceful, and has

a laid-back vibe that other districts in SF lack. and parking is easy to find! hey hey!

only two things to recommend here (because those were the only two recommended to us!):

Outerlands + the General Store.

such a fun shop! especially because i found this beautiful print/calendar by Claire Nereim

that i couldn't resist taking home with me. watch out for the feisty shopkeepers dog, though. he just might get ya...

General Store

4035 Judah St.

after shopping, walk right on up to Outerlands to grab some delicious dinner...

My friend Annie told me about Outerlands over 2 years ago, but we never

could find the time to make it there. This trip, however, we were determined, and we are

so (so) glad we did. Have you ever seen two girls falling off their chairs

over butter?? Honestly, butter? It was heavenly(!).

The cocktails and food were good in a still-thinking-about-it-weeks-later kinda way.

Reasonably priced, rustic-casual, Portland-esque, and cozy!

I don't see why you wouldn't....

start your day with....

have you been? if you haven't, then this is a must!

it's full of pretty things to look at and delicious things to eat. Start with macarons at Miette, then get yourself a latte at Blue Bottle (my favorite coffee in the city!).

Wander over to Heath Ceramics and load up on Weck jars (this is what we did!),

then peruse your little hearts out. Our intention was to get breakfast at Boulette's Larder, which supposedly has the best breakfast in all of SF. We missed it by 15 minutes. Drat!

Ferry Building Marketplace

if you have enough time, go to this amazing nursery. remember the last time we were there?

more amazing food + shops comin' up!

san francisco food/shop tour: part 1

this past weekend i enjoyed time in one of my very favorite cities, San Francisco, with one of my very favorite girls. we had an amazing time eating + shopping + eating some more.

we did our foodie research, and it really paid off. we ate an amazing assortment of delicious food that i think we're both still dreaming of! 3 days in the city can afford you a LOT of food and plenty of time for shopping in the meantime. here's a little list of places we highly recommend checking out in the city:

in the mission district:

a given. i always get the croque monsieur. delicious! my fruit-loving

friend always gets the bread pudding.

Tartine

600 Guerrero Street

While you're waiting for your stomach to digest delicious baked goods, fight the urge to walk it off and lay on the grass in Dolores Park instead. But first, stop in the always-packed Bi-Rite Market to get yourself something to drink.

it's a kite! does anyone want to go buy/fly kites with me?

once your stomachs have settled a bit, start standing in line

at the city's most delicious ice cream joint, Bi-Rite Creamery.

i got olive oil + brown sugar! the olive oil was so pleasant and mild....i've always been

curious what it tastes like in ice cream form!

Bi-Rite Creamery

3692 18th St. @ Dolores

My new MUST-GO (at least once) in the Mission is Pizzeria Delfina. OMG-delicious.

We got the pizza to-go, had to walk several blocks back to our car, and inhaled

it (in its semi-cold state) like it was the BEST pizza in the entire world.

i can only imagine what it tastes like hot!!

be prepared to wait in line for quite a while, but my goodness it's worth it!

Pizzeria Delfina

3611 18th St.

see you soon!

foreign cinema

i sometimes (always?) wish i lived in the city.

diana+

so a while back i took diana+ out for a stroll around
the city. it was my first time with her.
we're still a little awkward with each other... hopefully i can get used
to being with such a plastic girl.
:)
