Sun Fat seafood company

July 15, 2009

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. It seems [...]

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.

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 17th Ave. [...]

sampling Whole Foods

April 24, 2009

I think that Whole Foods is great! I know that people sometimes call it “whole paycheck,” and there’s no doubt that I couldn’t afford to shop there for all of my food. Yesterday, I was chatting with a friend of mine who is also a Whole Foods admirer. We both agree that it’s worth shopping [...]
