alamere falls

i'm often mind blown that i still live in the apartment that callie and i found back in 2010. makes it all the more fun when she comes to visit me and we can relive our bay area life together! a few weeks back, i was lucky enough to get CR all to myself for the weekend. we ate and drank and hiked and shared a nasty cold which inspired us to also spend a lot of our time lounging – which ended up being quite nice, actually.

some of my favorite moments include: breakfast at the best, outerlands. a stop at basik before hitting the road to bolinas to hike alamere falls. drinks at hi-lo club {whiskey and lemon for the throat, please}, coqueta {gin and tonics all around}, and hardwater {oysters!}. dinner at liholiho. a day in the park at cavallo point. and most of all just loads of time getting in some much needed catch up. 

wise sons in the jewish museum

AP and i have really been enjoying that we now work so close together {SOMA lunch buddies what's up!} – last friday we ventured over to the contemporary jewish museum where a pop-up of wise sons delicatessen lives {you can see us at the original one here}. the food is amazing and unique, but a tad on the pricey side. but i'll definitely be back – eating in a museum makes you feel super cultural and smart and fancy.
 

mission double date | trick dog + flour & water

thanks to our friends mg + mg, we finally made it to a bar we've been dying to try, trick dog, also by the same folks as some of our favorites – salumeria, central kitchen, and flour + water. it did not disappoint!

we shared some tasty cocktails and caught up as we waited for our table around the corner for dinner. i'll definitely be back here. next we went to f+w and it was even better than i remember. the quality of food there is just.. i mean... i kinda get why you have to make a reservation months in advance? a bottle of rose´and literally 5 pasta/pizza dishes later we topped our meal off with some chocolate amazingness and left with happy tummies.
 

summatime saturday

saturday started with a small ride over to yttp, followed by a little brunch with myself, and then a cruise along the water. 
 

later that evening i met up with AP to try the new hottie spot coqueta. when we heard the walls were made of glass and that they had mega fancy cocktails {flowers floating in your gin + tonic? heelloo summatiiime!}, we were sold. the inside is teeny tiny, and perfect because the windows protect your from you from the sf-death-winds, but you still enjoy sitting on the water. 
 

^^ after some snacks we popped into hardwater for my new fav cocktail...  we were then somehow at netties crab shack,, and ended our night on the patio at 620 jones
 

try it tuesday @ hardwater

try it tuesday is le best tradition that has been around for years now – and i hope it never stops. sometimes, though, you need to put it on hold because you're spending too much money elsewhere. eating out in sf can really drain your wallet.

that being said – we're live! this week we tried a new spot on the embarcadero called hard water. in my opinion, it is kinda perfect. very small, tons of natural light, on the water, delish oysters and delish cocktails. it was a great start to reviving our TiT tradition! cheers and happy friday folks.
 

^^ i have high hopes to recreate this cocktail. it was seriously perfection. not kidding. PERFECTION.
