San Francisco?

I live about an hour south of SF. I had some friends visit one time and we went up to the city. They said "let's do something really San Fransisco!" I told them, "no problem, we can easily spend the evening driving around looking for parking."

A classic SF restaurant is the Tadich Grill at 240 California St. near Market. It also happens to the oldest, continuously run restaurant in California, and third oldest in the United States. They serve good fresh seafood. Make sure you have some sourdough bread with real butter along with your meal--they will serve you this without asking (as I write this I can taste the crunchy sourdough goodness--there is none better). I am not sure how it fits with your budgetary constraints. Also, the California Street Cable Car runs up and down California Street. I grew up in the Bay Area and lived in the City for a number of years. When I get back there this will be on my list of things to do. Also, when you have a beer with Blackland Razors , ask him how the heck can a guy who lives in the City not be able to recommend a restaurant or two. LOL. One final thing, be sure to have an Irish Coffee at the Buena Vista Café overlooking the Marina. This is where it originated and they make it the best, hands down.

I'll have to look into this. There's not any fresh seafood in GA, so I like to get it when I'm on the coast.

The Tadich Grill is a very good indeed, and a great suggestion. If Alfred's Steakhouse is open again, that place is great. Otherwise, Harris' Restaurant also has mouthwatering steaks. They are a little pricey, though. Fior d'Italia is another good choice, and is the oldest Italian restaurant in the U.S. There is a reason for that. Franco's Latin Table is a really good Peruvian restaurant right by the West Portal Muni Metro station.

I like Peruvian food, so I'll look that up. Hopefully it's not too far from my hotel.

No shaving places in San Fran that I know of. There is a great Italian restaurant in San Francisco about a half mile up the hill from the Embarcadero (601 Union Street) in the heart of the city. It is Original Joes. Maybe the best Italian I have had on the West Coast. Highly recommended.
I grew up in New York City a few blocks from Little Italy. Also, I was in NYC a couple of weeks ago, and ate at my favorite Italian joints for 2 days. PS...Yes I did visit Pasteur Pharmacy, NY Shaving Company and CO Bigelow (my wallet did suffer).

Thanks for the suggestion. I had a client in NYC and I went to Pasteurs a few times. They have a really nice selection of different products. I can't use scented soaps, but it was nice to be able to smell the different scents that I can't use. I also liked eating at Pellegrino's in Little Italy.

I won't be driving, so I don't have to worry about parking, but I will have to watch my step.  I've already been warned by someone I'll be working with.

Or you can just pay to park at one of dozens of parking garages that are readily accessible in just about every corner of the city...

As a side note, you should consider joining the Bay Area Wet Shavers group on Facebook. We’d love to have you.

Nancy Boy is in downtown San Francisco and they have some shaving products. They only sell their products direct.

Their body soaps are great as well.

I was mostly just making a silly joke. No offense intended . A garage is usually what i do when I'm up there. Not inexpensive, but convenient, and at least I know my truck is more or less safe.

Thanks for the invite. I don't spend too much time on FB, but I will certainly join.

hops & hominy & tacolicious are two restaurants my wife and I enjoyed while in San Francisco last year.

I will be in San Francisco next week for work.  Are there any shaving stores that I should check out?  I would also appreciate recommendations on local restaurants.  I'm pretty open to any type of cuisine.  My client is a little unrealistic with food allowance, so I can't eat anything too expensive.

You’re probably gone by now. While there isn’t any shave shops there are a couple amazing parfum stores to check out.
