Hi Chowhounders,

My brother (Boulder, CO) and I (NYC) will coincidentally be in San Francisco at the same time next week. I'd love some recs for places for dinner.

Here are our specifications:
--Funnish vibe (we're in our 30s, thus the "ish").
--Not a romantic date place
--Moderately priced for SF. I'm paying, but I don't want him to feel weird about too fancy-pants a place.
--Something that has a little bit of a cool factor
--No sushi

I'm staying near the Ferry Building and he'll be staying in the South of Market district. We're open to traveling too.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance--chowhound always steers me right!

Hi,

Looking for somewhere to go to taste wine as part of a tasteful "bachelorette" party. Know of any wine bars in Baltimore or wine shops or even restaurants that might be a good spot? The bride-to-be is a wine enthusiast, but a budget-conscious one.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
