City Love

Reason #88 - Urban Hiking

M-dawg and I started urban hiking around the city last week. I love it!

And we can call it urban hiking because San Francisco has some bigggg HILLS!!! Trust me, your calves and thighs will feel it.

Last week we did the steps to Coit Tower a couple of times, walked up Russian Hill, walked through North Beach, walked to Chrissy Fields, walked up the FIllmore st. steps, and basically just enjoyed the city.

It actually is quite relaxing.

I would love to hit all the neighborhoods - in fact, I'm going to make that a goal of mine.

Oh, Family Billiards...

I know this isn't following my top 100 reasons that I love SF - but I'm allowed to put reasons why I don't like it. Plus, I'm trying to be a better blogger.

Here's a reason that I'm not too fond of San Francisco - there aren't that many pool halls. There are bars with one pool table (only one!) but there's usually a line to play. And what if I don't feel like going to a bar on a Tuesday night?

So last night we resorted to Family Billiards on Geary, because it's in close proximity to a couple of us. Oh, Family. I used to go there a lot back in college. And it hasn't changed since college. Still stink and still full of FOBs.

I miss GE (Great Entertainer), and I wish SF had a place like Thelassa's in Berkeley.

Reason #89

I know I haven't been updating this as often as I'd like (thanks for reminding me AG). I can't configure my moblog settings on my phone - how lame am I? Plus the app we have for my blackberry keeps effing up. LAME.

Anyway, enough with the excuses.

Since my hundred reasons basically consist of restaurants around the city, I'm going to recommend this brunch place for you. It's called Home Plate. I love brunch. Especially brunch on a lazy Sunday.

Home Plate is nothing fancy, but has great prices and yummy breakfast. If you love omelettes, frittatas or banana pancakes you HAVE TO COME HERE. They serve you a warm, moist scone with fruit compote before your breakfast entree. How awesome is that? And the banana pancakes - try it with the homemade whip cream. To die for.

Home Plate is located on Lombard in the Marina. You won't be disappointed if you want breakfast.
