A love letter to the fog of San Francisco

Adrift from Simon Christen

Our year in the thick of it was a surreal privilege.

Modes of Transport | the Faraday

How darling is this electric(!) bicycle?  A classic design with a modern boost makes the Faraday Porteur a lovely way to get around town.  Check out their kickstarter to learn more (and for a peek at a few of our favorite spots around San Francisco). 

Sugar-coated NIGHTLIFE

Kate and I wanted to have a night out before she flew home, next week.  We thought an evening of science & chocolate just might suffice. 

NIGHTLIFE at the California Academy of Sciences

Science & alcoholic beverages, you say?  Well, if I must. 

Be right back, San Francisco

I'm taking a quick trip to Los Angeles to visit my dearest friend and celebrate our first Halloween together on the west coast.  I have the start of a Mary Poppins costume and a recipe for blackberry meyer lemon gin & tonics, at the ready, and cannot wait to explore!

In the meantime, I will trust my hearts to San Francisco and appreciate the safety of our loved ones, near and far.  The stories and images pouring out of the Northeast have been heartbreaking -- I hope that wherever you are, you are safe and warm.

If you are in a position to do so, please consider making a donation to the Red Cross relief efforts.

Tea time at Samovar

Samovar Tea Lounge is a small chain of three teahouses in San Francisco -- their vision: "to change the world one cup of tea at a time." They house an impressive array of loose teas and complementary cuisine from around the world, paying particular care to traditional presentation and experience.
