Day 1 :January 16, 2009
Dinner at La Mediterranee on Fillmore and I ate way way too much!
Drinks in the Haight at Moltovos. The Haight kinda reminds me of Detroit.
Day 2: January 17, 2009
The first full day in the city and I was still feeling the effects of the time change. T took me on a City tour:
- Union Square
- Ferry Building
- Pier 39
- Fisherman’s Wharf
- Ghirardelli Square
- Cable Car Ride
- North Beach
- China Town
- Financial District
Dinner at Ten- Ichi on Filmore
Drinks in the Marina with Carolyn and T and T's friends: Christain & Celeste – City Tavern, Matrix. The Marina is my kind of place... Imagine that
Day 3: January 18, 2009
Drove down Lombard Street - the crooked one
We decided to go to Napa Valley on a whim and it was the best idea we had the whole time! We went to two wineries:
- Darioush - Sonoma County
- Duckhorn – Sonoma County
and before leaving we had a very late lunch at Zuzu in downtown Napa. The tapas were out of this world!
Dinner at Orphan Andy’s
Drinks in the Castro - Gay district, if the whole city isn't
- The Bar
- Badlands
Day 4: January 19, 2009
WANG ARRIVES!
Dinner at the Woodhouse Fish Company. Had artichokes stuffed with Dungeness Crab and Shrimp.
Drinks in the mission and we bar hopped to; Casa Nova, Truck, Luck 13.
Day 5: January 20
Wang, T and I decided to head back over the Golden Gate and check out Sausalito in Marin county. The views of the city across the bay are unreal. Wang has a few we will post later.
Lunch at Bridge way Café
After lunch we saw Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen filming for the movie Funny People.
T took us to Coit Tower afterwards, a 21 story tower on the top of one of the many hills of the city for more great views of Golden Gate, the Bay Bridge as well as the city itself.
Met up with Wang's friend Melissa for dinner at Slow Club in the Mission. Great drinks and Wang ordered a Kettle One Gimlet 3:1 shaken very cold, compliments of his favorite author Stuart Woods.
Day 6: January 21
Wang and I had another city tour. This was the first day the weather wasn't 65-70 and perfectly blue skies.
Lunch at the Ferry Building at San Francisco Fish Co.
It was raining a little in the afternoon so we caught a movie on Pac Heights. Slumdog Millionaire is a great movie. Everyone should see it.
Dinner at a little Greek place called Myconos and in true greek style my meal could have fed two large men.
Drinks at Tonic with T, Wang and Wang's HS friend Melissa
Day 7: January 22
T drive Wang and I to the Airport for our flight to Tokyo at 11 am. Since Wang's dad is the man, he upgraded both of us to business class and let me assure you... it is the ONLY way to fly across the ocean.
Wang and I are currently sitting in the lounge at Tokyo's international airport waiting for our connecting flight to Taipei.
More to come when we get to Taipei.
We've linked to this post at www.ComeToSausalito.com as part of our collection of reports on the unannounced filming that impacted traffic in Sausalito. If you have any more info to share we'd love to read about it! Thanks very much.
