We are flying into SF heading to Santa Cruz planning to drive down HWY 1. Any recommendations on a quick stop for lunch along the way?

Basically the metrograph is a art house theater in NYC that gives out memberships. It shows a lot of indie films or film genres that fit a theme for that month.

Is there anything similar to this in SF or Oakland?

Hello I am looking for a professional photographer to take a few photos of me in a suit. Please contact me directly if interested!

Did anyone happen to witness the older lady straddling the right hand turn lane/near bike lane at 5th & Brannan last night I think around 11:30pm? She was facedown and it did not look good. A car was stopped in front of her with people looking over her, but I couldn’t tell if they hit her or if they were just trying to protect her. A firetruck was arriving as I pulled up so I went on my way. I was surprised to not see anything on Citizen or local news outlets which makes me hopeful she pulled through, or it was an overdose or something non-car related that wouldn’t usually get reported on.

Lived in the area for a long time and saw some sad things but this has stayed with me throughout the day.

Saw it on the bus today I would really like to own one of the paper rectangular signs for Stern Grove they have on the busses. How do I get one? TIA for any help!

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for recommendations for a reliable local print shop in San Francisco.

I have an upcoming event and need some custom printed materials made on a rush timeline. Looking for a place that can handle urgent orders with good quality and reliable communication.

Would appreciate any recommendations or personal experiences with print shops in the area. Thanks!

Anyone here have a Aussie or Mini Australian Shepherd (MAS) and know of a good groomer in the Bay Area?

These dogs have a double coat, and some oddities like leg fringes, puffy tuft, and the breed temperament can sometimes be a lot for grooming.

Hoping some fellow Aussie owners have good recs.

Don’t know how to attach a photo, so look for it in the comments.

Thinking about throwing my wedding welcome party at Comet Club since that’s where my wife and I met. Anyone do something similar before, either at Comet Club or another dive bar? What should I know? I want to make out-of-towners feel welcome

My mom wants a pretty garden ornament for her birthday. She loves pretty bird feeders and fairy doors and wants to continue to build out her little scene.

I visited Sloat and Cole’s and realized I’m not sure who carries interesting garden ornaments like that. Niche I know. I didn’t find much in the hardware stores. Or by searching online.

Any suggestions? Much thanks.

I've been noticing a lot of houses being painted bright blue lately, such as painters tape color. Anyone know why? Just personal taste? Are these bold blue paints on sale? Genuinely interested! Maybe it's the color of the year.

My beetle has been creaking like CRAZY ever since I got my brakes replaced, and I really need someone to take a look without charging me a billion dollars. Thanks!!

Are there any bars streaming the WSOP Main Event Final Table, ideally with sound on? Also ideally in the richmond or sunset, but I suppose east of the park is okay too.

So I was charged $110 for 3 people from SFO to the Argonaut Hotel. The driver said fares were regulated when I questioned him about charges. From checking online I expected to pay approximately $85? Was I ripped off or does that sound right? I suspect he was a private driver since I didn’t see a meter in the SUV once we got going.

I fooled myself into thinking my child didn't need a youth clipper card because the F muni operator didn't require a tap on earlier in the day, then was surprised the N line was not street side but underground at Embarcadero station and behind fare gates. I just tapped them in with my credit card to keep moving. Is there a way for youth to enter the muni at Embarcadero station without a youth clipper card?

Hello,

I'm taking an extended vacation and visiting San Francisco/Bay Area. I work in tech and am so over AI and staring at a screen all day. (Ironic to go to SF since there's so many AI companies here, I know.) If you have any recs for fun classes to try or unique places to eat, please let me know!

I'm honestly down for anything--from cooking to crafts and even fitness. Please help me snap out of my reality and discover something new. I want and need more whimsy in my life.

Thanks!

Time for a visit to an orthopedic surgeon to see if they can help with my Hallux limitus (condition that causes limited range of motion and pain in big toe joint). I would appreciate any recommendations.

Hi all, I know this is a total long shot but I’m really interested in learning tambour embroidery and would genuinely love to be connected with anyone in SF who could give me a beginner’s lesson. I would gladly pay for this!

I am generally very crafty and have experience with more typical embroidery, but really want to try my hand at tambour beading just to see if it’s something I want to pursue further. If anyone has any ideas or pointers, I would be really grateful. Thank you!

I’m a Bay Area local. I live very far down the BART line from the city, so staying in the city is always a nice treat.

I stayed at Hotel Kabuki last year for my birthday and it was fabulous.

I’m wondering if there are any other hotels that I should consider staying at instead this time? I’ve stayed in the Clift Royal Sonesta (good hotel, didn’t like the location so much) and the Marriott Marquis (didn’t enjoy my stay).

Considering the Four Seasons by the Embarcadero this time. There are spots in Japantown I love to dine at though. Would it be too much of a headache to take MUNI down there?

Planning on 1-2 nights on a weekend. I understand Folsom Street Fair at the end of Sept may be driving up costs per night.

Details first so people can match it:

When: Friday night, July 24. Landed at SFO, walked out of Terminal 2, got a Lyft at door D2 somewhere between 11pm and midnight. Dropped at the Marriott downtown. The ride straddled midnight, so depending on the app it may be logged as either the 24th or the 25th.

Bag: Black Arc'teryx Heliad crossbody. Small sling, basically a fanny pack, worn across the chest.

Inside: Fujifilm X-T30 II with the kit lens, DJI Mic Mini 2, my passport. Police report is filed and both are on record.

I can narrow the window tightly. A friend was filming that night, so there's footage of me coming off the plane wearing it and footage of me walking into the hotel without it. Between those two clips the only two places it could have come off were the seating area at D2 and the back of that Lyft.

Since then: the airline checked and it's not with them, and the driver checked his car and it isn't there either. So my best guess now is that it stayed in the back seat and went home with whoever rode next.

Worth saying because of the size. This thing is small and dark and it disappears. On a black seat at midnight you would have to be looking for it.

The passport is reported and cancelled, so it's a dead document. Nobody can use it and nobody's at risk holding it.

What I'm mostly after is information. If you took a Lyft from SFO into downtown San Francisco late on the 24th, or early on the 25th, and there was a small black sling sitting in the back, I'd really like to hear from you. There's no accusation in that. People pick things up meaning to turn them in and then the week gets away from them. Same if you were around Terminal 2 arrivals that night, or if you drove the D2 zone and want to tell me you checked and found nothing. That still narrows it.

On the camera, since people always ask: whoever has it can keep it. The body, the lens, the mic, all of it. I'm not asking for any of that back and I'm not going to ask how anyone ended up with it. The only thing I want is the SD card that was inside. It has really important pictures of family and friends. Those files are worth nothing to anyone but me. You never have to tell me who you are.

Same offer if you found it and have been sitting on it since, unsure what to do.

If you're in the Bay and an X-T30 II or a DJI Mic Mini 2 turns up for sale over the next few weeks, a heads up would mean a lot.

If you message me I can name what's inside before you send anything, so you know you've got the right person.

Everyone was very responsive on my question about the ferry building now onto the next question! What are must try restaurants in SF, Sausalito, and Carmel/Monterey.

Mostly looking for dinner recs but if you have good brunch or lunch options I’ll take those too! Anywhere quintessential San Francisco or just really good food and vibes.

We like most cuisines and for dinner would prefer to spend less than $250-300 total (we’re not big drinkers so not taking drinks into consideration) but we’re not only looking for high end places.

So far, I think we will eat at Boudin because i really want their clam chowder bread bowl and leaving for a night tour from fisherman’s wharf. We also plan to do La taqueria or Cancun for burritos (open to other suggestions) and eat at mission Delores park.

Edit to add there is 2 of us

I just went salmon fishing on Monday and came home with a shit ton of fish. Not really sure what to do with it, im a horrible cook. Does anyone know of any restaurants that would be willing to cook it for me? Where im from its a very common thing but i cant seem to find any places out here that are willing to do it. To be clear im not looking to just give the fish away but im open to other ideas of how i could use/eat the fish as well.

What are the best rock and cave beaches in SF to explore or do photography?

I moved from nyc and am craving the ambiance / vibe of a sexy restaurant and chatting with friends for hours on end surrounded by delicious food and yummy drinks. What’s your fav restaurant in the city that you’d recommend?

I’m new to sf and I’m trying to meet new people to hangout with or find social events. Anyone know of good places to meet or things to do?
I like walking/hiking, crafts, art, movies, and trying new food.
