eccentric musings on food, drink, fun and life
From the category archives:
After Irving and 22nd Market, the Sunset Super is our favorite food store in that neighborhood of the City. Only about three and a half blocks from the first, on Irving between 25th and 26th Avenues, it’s very convenient to go to both when you’re visiting the Sunset District. That’s what we usually do, [...]

We’ve finally made it to the Alemany Farmers’ Market and for the life of me I cannot figure out why we waited for so long. Perhaps we’ve been lazy, as we’re quite familiar with the UN Plaza and Ferry Plaza farmers’ markets? Or maybe it’s the confusing location of the Alemany market? [...]

We’re big fans of El Chico Produce #4 in the Mission for inexpensive produce and Mexican and South American products. Located on 24th Street between Harrison and Alabama, the shop doesn’t look like much from the street. Surrounded by inexpensive restaurants, mainly featuring pork dishes; an unusual art shop and a Mexican bakery; [...]

I’ve been a big fan of Sun Fat for fresh seafood for years, even before reading the rave reviews on Yelp! I think that it’s a Chinese name, which is cool to see in the Mission surrounded by all of the shops with Spanish names, discount clothing stores and banks and trendy restaurants. [...]

We went on the first Sunday of summer to the UN Plaza Farmer’s Market in San Francisco. This happened to be Father’s Day. It was so great seeing all of the dads out with their kids shopping for fresh produce. That’s such a good message to teach your children: eating fresh vegetables [...]

We frequently shop at 22nd and Irving Market for our weekly food supplies. It’s located in the Sunset District of San Francisco, nestled between numerous Chinese shops, restaurants and dim sum places. It’s always easy to find as the name tells you where it’s located. The market itself has a lot [...]

Last Saturday we went to the Ferry Plaza Farmer’s Market on the San Francisco Embarcadero. It happens every Tuesday and Saturday and it looks like they may re-start the Market on Thursdays again soon. We’ve loved farmer’s markets for years! They’re great places to get fresh foods that are locally grown; and [...]

When we first moved to San Francisco from New York , we joined Costco in a rush of excitement. This is a store that requires a car, something that we didn’t have (or really want) in Queens. Plus the fact of membership helped us during that delicate transition period from one city to another [...]

I happened upon MARKET Royal BAKERY recently when I was hanging with a friend in the Richmond District of San Francisco. I used to live in that neighborhood, but much has changed since I was last there. My friend and I had just finished our coffees from the Royal Grounds coffee shop on [...]
