A few of my friends have headed to San Francisco lately so I’ve been copy/pasting an email lots. I figured I’d just put it on the blog and point folks there. So here goes – some of my favorite places in San Francisco.

• Toronado. One of my top 5 beer bars in the world.
• Rosamunde. Awesome sausage stand next to Toronado.
• Hama Ko. Tiny sushi place that’s celebrated for its food and atmosphere.
• House of Nanking. Chinese place in Chinatown that will make you feel like a local.
• Stinking Rose. Garlic themed restaurant, if you’re into that.
• Bourbon and Branch. It’s a speak easy. The password is “books”.
• Go see a SF Giants, Oakland A’s or SF 49ers game. I wouldn’t recommend going to see the Raiders, though, unless you’re a big fan.
