Cool lounge or bar in SoMa for a gal on her own
Hi, I'm staying at a hotel on Steuart Street and am looking for a bar/lounge to have a few drinks in the neighborhood on a Saturday night. I'll be on my own and am looking for a not-too-young crowd (30ish), but good music and cool decor is a plus....!
In SF for the Weekend with Mom - Ladies' Lunch?
My mother and I are east-coasters -- DC and NY -- with experience in good eating. We're staying at in SoMa for the week-end but need some recommendations for lunch/brunch dinner. Going to the Farmer's Market this morning for bfast, but are walking thru SoMa towards Union Square and want a great ladies lunch spot -- sunny and open, nice decor -- a place to have a fantastic 12 salad. Someone recommended Beldon Alley, but that looks a little crowded. If it's warm enough and we sit outside is one rest. better than the other?
And for dinner, we had sushi at Ozumo last night -- near our hotel and very good. We're hoping for something similarly in the neighborhood for dinner tonite -- but more local seafood, maybe a more casual, less pricey version of Aqua. Don't know how seafood oriented, but Boulevard and Salt were both recommended by a discerning friend...Thanks, Chris
Looking for not-so-pricey cool in Downtown LA or Echo Park area
Thanks! I was also thinking of a place post-concert for drinks, maybe downtown?!? Also, re dinner - we weren't thinking necessarily of inexpensively - paying up to 20-25 area for entrees, so that might give a few more options....Chris
Looking for not-so-pricey cool in Downtown LA or Echo Park area
Hi, I'm going to the Police show tonight at Dodger's stadium (Sat). The concert starts at 6:30 - ouch - so, we were looking for a place near the stadium - I thought downtown area, or maybe Echo Park area. Hopefully something a bit cool, a bit hip, hopefully design-y interior, that 1) would be open 5:00ish, 2) would have decent food, and 3) wouldn't be too expensive. Whew, tall order. Thanks!
