Sox, you can take BART directly from the Airport to the Ferry Building. It's the Embarcadero stop. Which will have a nice, busy Farmer's Market on Sunday plus a view of the Bay. And multiple eating choices there. Plus it's convenient for other people to get there by BART or Muni.
That would be my rec. From there you guys could walk or take the train up to Pier 37 if you were inclined (they do have a nice carousel there), or you could walk up to North Beach (bit of a hike but doable). Or you could take Muni out to the neighborhoods.
I don't know how I missed this from JZ, but I did. The farmer's market sounds great, but I completely agree with the awesomecakes listed below. So, seriously, we can take a cab anywhere, or BART, but I have no way of knowing what's most convenient for everyone. PC, Perkins, Nanita, -t?
So far we have as possibilities:
- Mission: Ti Couz
- south SFO brunch places (to be named by persons who are not me)
- Farmers' Market on BART line
Should we start talking about times while we figure out places? Do people have services Sunday am? HKF is an early riser no matter where we are (just ask Raq..., eeep), so we're flexible.
Seekrit note to Matilda from HKF: Can't wait to meet you!
There are also some nice brunch places not far south of SFO -- not that I can remember the names of any of them, but Perkins has taken Matilda and me to several and they were both nice and seemed like they'd be accommodating of largeish groups.
(Just trying to expand the options to stuff that might be easier for Perkins; I know she's only a maybe, but if she *could* make it that'd be awesomecakes.)
If in SF, I'd vote for Ti Couz, yummy real French crepes just one block from the 16th and Mission BART station (with the Pork Store Cafe just two doors up in case Ti Couz looks too crowded).
I always prefer BARTable locations, and I like Ti Couz and love the Mission. If there's time, we could even do some of the Mission Tour! I'm free all of Sunday, so I have no time preferences.
oh Mission Tour sounds fun PC!
The Ferry Building would be easiest for me, but I'll try to meet you wherever you end up.
Ferry Building has a great view - which is also cool, and it's on BART. (obviously, we'll on showing up wherever is decided... so, keep weighing in)
How many people are planning to gather? Do we know?
I'm afraid I'm going to need to be a no. I've already got concert plans that night, and I just don't think I'm going to have the bandwidth to do both.
by best guess: Soxes (3), Zmayehm (3 or 4?), Nanita (hopefully if leJetlag doesn't get you), PC, -t... Who am I missing?
Perkins, I am sadfaced, but completely understand. Hopefully we'll be able to catch up with you soon -
Trudy! I just now realized you left me a VM like three weeks ago! You totally could have stayed with me, except I wasn't home; I was in Tennessee. I wasn't ignoring you; I was just, you know, ignoring my phone.
I get the difference!
And don't worry, I figured as much.
