Love cocktails! Thanks for this and for all the recommendations. My husband is very excited about the STreat Eats, so we may have to do that before his thing starts. And, yeah tacos are on the list...Nova Scotia is so far NOT known as a hotbed of Mexican food. :) You guys are great.
One more question - is it worth trying out a food tour in the city, or even a bus tour up to Napa? I'll be solo while he's at ONA, so I'm also looking for things to do during the day.
Thanks again!

Open to everything except shellfish (tragic allergy) but love Italian, Middle Eastern and Thai the best. I'm most excited about the fresh produce and wine in your part of the world. I've never eaten anywhere even remotely like Mission Chinese, and wonder if it's as amazing as the hype suggests.

Thanks! I wondered about Flour + Water - it looks beautiful.

I'm tagging along while my husband attends a conference in SF beginning Sept 19th. We're at the Hyatt downtown, and I'd like to spend the entire three days eating and learning about the local food scene. We have reservations at State Bird Provisions, and I can't wait to go to the Ferry Market. But what else do folks recommend? It's my first time in SF, in fact my first time in California; we live at the far Eastern edge of Canada.
Thanks in advance!
