I get a MUNI pass every month so I can get to work everyday on the train. The first 3 days of the new month, the old pass still works. My girlfriend and I like to take advantage of this (she can use my old pass while I use my new one) to go places that are best reached by cable car.


If you’re looking for hipster, trendy tapas, go to Cha Cha Cha in the Mission or the Haight. Or, for the same money, you can have tapas served by a staff that looks like they go home to Barcelona every night after work. That’s Zarzuela.

For desert, we walked across the street to the original Swensen’s for ice cream. Another old haunt. (I took my two year-old niece there for ice-cream the day her younger brother was born. "Ice cream in my mouth!" Ah, memories) This also has not changed, probably since the 60’s. Yum. Save room after Zarzuela’s or make the trip up Russian Hill just for Swensen’s. It’s well worth it. I miss living a block away.

The potato egg thingie is called tortilla espanola (with an enyay).
ReplyDeleteI blush at the pronouncement of my Spanish skillz as impeccable...bless your soul.
Damn you! Now I want tapas. There is no tapas in Iowa.
ReplyDeleteAh, life on Russian Hill. Good times...
