We’ve been to Live a few times since my longtime friend, David, moved just across the street from the place about two years ago. The restaurant is a stand-alone spot with a small to medium sized dining room on several half-floors. We usually sit at a table though there is sushi bar seating [...]

We just came back from a wonderful overnight trip to Charlottesville, Virginia. I went to college at the University of Virginia in the late 1980’s and have remained sentimental about the former small town, now small city, ever since.
My friend, Callie, still lives there and still works at UVA (You go girl!) [...]

Sanraku restaurant is our favorite Japanese place in San Francisco . They have two locations: one in the Tenderloin/Nob Hill neighborhood at 704 Sutter, and another in the Metreon, 101 4th street in SOMA. We’ve been going to the Metreon location for as long we’ve been living here; about 6 years now. We [...]
