F2F 3: Who's Bringing the Guacamole?
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: San Francisco, May 19-21, 2006! Everything else, go here! Swag!
I wish some of our localistes would pop in and weigh in on the fried chicken options. I don't like fried food much, personally, so I'm a lousy gauge for the numminess.
Italian food, now, or Mexican, or Greek...
It's cool, Deb, I am in no hurry!
I also like Italian, Mexican, and Greek food, and we may be travelling on partial company expense!
Also, Hil, excellent link! I think it was Blue Jay Cafe Tom awas thinking of, based on his recollection of the pricing (pay by the piece).
AND, there is a House of CHicken n' Waffles, in Oakland. ROCK.
whoo!
I don't think Popeye's has waffles.
There's a Roscoe's in Oakland, I haven't been to it.
Roscoes, that's it - not Popeye's.
See, we need more localistes.
How hard is it to get to Chinatown from the hotel?
Chinatown's easy. Either bus, MUNI metro or walk the three long blocks to Powell and Market, and get on the cable car.
Alternately, bus or MUNI down the five long blocks to the corner of Market and (I believe) Third Street, and catch the 30 Stockton. Goes through Chinatown, comes out in North Beach. I seem to recall the 15 does, as well.
t does shimmy
Also? Just ordered swag! Wheeee!
Aimee, the 30 Stockton is One Of Those Buses - legendary here in town. I remember one day, the asian driver was arguing with the elderly asian woman who'd got on right in front of me; apparently she wasn't grokking the concept of the X on the front, which meant it was an express, not making all the stops. They were talking to each other in their own language, getting faster and louder, and finally he just yelled at her, in English "Lady, look - this is the Stockton Express, not the Shanghai Express! You getting on or you getting off?"
I love that route. It goes from the Giants ballpark (go slide down the Big Giant Soda Bottle with Em, she'll love it, it's open to kids and free) through SOMA, crosses market heading north, Chinatown, North Beach, and up into the Marina.
