In between the wine tastings and walking, we had to get a little sustenance to keep us moving. San Francisco has every kind of food and cuisine you could ever want - crepes, Ethiopian food, Chinese food, deli sandwiches, artisan chocolate and hipster-style coffee, just to name a few.
New Delhi Restaurant: The garlic naan was great, but the chicken tandoori and chicken masala were both super tiny portions and not that flavorful. It worked for us that night and was convenient to our hotel.
La Casa Sonoma: In the heart of wine country lies a Mexican restaurant, and it is amazing. Tim and I agreed this was the best meal with had. I got fish tacos, which were served two ways with black beans and rice. The sauces and garnishes were all very complementary and complex. Tim got a fajita burrito which was so tasty and seasoned perfectly.
Central Coffee and Spice: On our magical, multi-mile tour de San Francisco, I got thirsty. But water would not do. Yelp helped me find this super cute neighborhood coffee shop. Tim encouraged me to live a little and get a latte instead of my standard coffee or iced coffee. He even let me choose whether I wanted the heart or the leaf latte. What a guy. The drink was amazing, and the ambiance was great. I'm glad we went somewhere off the beaten path.


Butterfly: While we waited to take our Alcatraz tour, we got a few drinks at this bar. I tried the Racer 5 IPA and the Steam Anchor, which was a local lager with the coloring of an amber. It was delicious and make me long to live in San Francisco. This bar was also very classy and offered an array of original cocktails featured fresh and exotic garnishes. Can't beat the view of the bay, either.



Not pictured:
- Capital Restaurant: We had our first meal here. It's a Chinese diner featuring an expansive menu. What this place is known for is salt and pepper wings and they were pretty good. Tim is an aficianado in this category and said they were perhaps the best wings he's had.
- Go Bistro: An airport meal. It sucked hardcore and was $33 for two lunches and an appetizer. The spring rolls were mushy, the sauce was bland, my grilled chicken curry featured canned vegetables and everything was greasy. Ick.
- Boudin Bakery: We went to the really nice museum/cafe/bakery in Fisherman Wharf and had a shrimp pesto pizza and a turkey and Havarti sandwich. This place is famous for its sourdough, which was just OK. This place is worth seeing, though, because you can watch the bread being made and see all the amazing treats they serve. The pesto shrimp pizza on sourdough crust was really awesome, though.
Catch up with what we saw and where we stayed in my first San Francisco recap.
