Visiting SF Trip to SF dinner reservation audit

• Upvotes

Here is our line up! We have one open night so please suggest any must visit spots! Feedback welcomed. I am vegetarian and my wife is pregnant and doesn’t eat pork (she leans vegetarian too) so we look for more veggie forward restaurants. We like to treat ourselves on vacation but can’t afford like a $200 pp prefix for context.

Kind of want to add a Japanese/Sushi spot but it would have to be reputable/high quality for my pregnant wife and have good vegetarian options so maybe too tricky. Rintaro?

Event Mussel forage & feast on the beach 11/8 or 11/22

3 Upvotes

Mussel Forage & Feast on the Beach

2 date options:

  • Sun Nov 8, 3:30-6:30 pm
  • Sun Nov 22, 2:30-5:30 pm

Join us for a magical mussel foraging adventure just north of SF on the Sonoma Coast near Bodega Bay. (We'd do this in SF - but no mussel beds here!) You will learn how to sustainably forage, clean, and prepare our beautiful California coast mussels – as well as an overview of the land’s history, intertidal zone ecosystem, and what it means to be a good steward of our land and waters. 

If you haven't experienced freshly foraged mussels, you will be in for a treat!

Post-foraging, we gather on the beach, cook them up, enjoy the view, and teach you how to care for the mussels you're taking home.

Each person can take home up to 10 lb of fresh foraged mussels to share, recipes, and instructions.

Tickets: www.forkinthepath.org/schedule

Pricing: sliding scale $85-$135, with additional financial assistance available for those who need it. Kids are welcome.

Terrain is rocky, slippery, and uneven. Footwear with good tread is required.

A fishing license is required ($20 from CDFW for a day license or $60 for an annual). If you're getting a day license, you may wish to wait to purchase your fishing license til the day of since CDFW doesn't allow date transfers.

We can only run this program when domoic acid levels are safe to consume mussels. If they are too high, we reschedule.

Recommendation Request SF Restaurants with Clandestine Booths

12 Upvotes

Seeking reccos for restaurants in the city with a bit of a clandestine, secretive vibe with booths in the main dining hall. Yes, we can grab a private room, but this is just a family dinner to entertain relatives from out of town, who enjoy a bit of drama. HOPR? Original Joes? Any spots to hash out a good conspiracy?

Recommendation Request I’m looking for somewhere nice to have dinner in SF somewhere cool with a friendly vibe, nothing too fancy or pretentious, and good food (hinge date)

15 Upvotes

Je suis touriste ici (SF est vraiment géniale !) donc je ne connais pas vraiment les meilleures adresses locales et je me méfie un peu des avis Google.

Nous sommes ouverts à presque tous les types de cuisine. Je suis française, mais la cuisine méditerranéenne, marocaine, asiatique ou autre nous conviendrait parfaitement ; nous adorons tous les deux toutes sortes de plats !

Au fait, je ne sais pas quels sont les quartiers/endroits sympas, j’aurais aimé être plus précise. J’ai déjà reçu des réponses à un message précédent sur askSf.

(J’espère que c’est le bon forum pour ce genre de publications)

For those who come to Paris don’t hesitate to ask me any question food or any topic ! (Phone number or IG in bio)

I've been looking around, and a site called Spokin provided a list of different places, including "Dosa." https://www.spokin.com/san-francisco-food-allergy-friendly-city-guide But no links to any... so I'm not sure if they mean Dosa on FillmoreXPost that's now Copra? Or, another place? Any tips would be so appreciated.
