    San Francisco Restaurant Recommend Me?

    Hanging out at Vesuvio's and it occurs to me I always eat at the same places and drink at the same places when here.

    Can you recommend me some places to eat and drink the next couple of nights? Not that I mind drinkin PBR at LaRoccas Corner again.

    Poke around in here. There've been 2-3 threads in the last year. Joey Bag O'Donuts started the most recent one.

    Good choice on Vesuvio. You have a sense of history.

If someone could make a jacket of those three things it would no doubt be the most popular and prized item in all of your closets.

    Oh yeah, I've been going to Vesuvio's for a long time. This has resulted in my:

    Going to a card game in a basement in Chinatown.

    Putting someone in the Camel Clutch on the sidewalk in front of City Lights.

    Going to a house party with the bartender until sunrise, walking to my hotel at 7am, then presenting to 400 people at 8am.

    And various other madness. Sorry for the redundant thread, searching on my mobile is a PITA.

    Thanks for the reccomendations. Ended up at Nob Hill Cafe tonight, will try something new tomorrow and Sat.

    Now heading to Centerfolds.

    BeanDip,

    Grubsteak. Pine b/t Polk and Van Ness.

    JS,

    Good call on Nob Hill Cafe. Right around the corn from my old place. Used to do brunch there often when the parents came to visit. 10-4 on the mobile.

    The Ferry Building has good eats. This place in the Tenderloin is good too: http://www.farmerbrownsf.com/
