We don't have any set itinerary, especially since we are bringing Mister Boy along. All we really want to do is walk around our favorite neighborhoods, laze in Dolores Park, visit Ocean beach (our old neighborhood), eat every chance we get, visit with dear friends and squeeze in a museum visit while at Golden Gate Park. I am just happy to feel my body once again in that magical city.
I have been putting together a little list of places I would love to visit/see while we are there. Some are new to me and some are old favorites that fill my heart with the happiest memories!
1. Shopping at Painted Bird-this little vintage treasure of a shop was not open yet while I lived in The City. So excited to browse the racks & possibly find a gem!
2. Eat at Burma Superstar-this was one of my favorite restaurants! I ate here at every birthday I celebrated & took every out of town guest here. I dream about their samosas and tea leaf salad!
3. Eat Ice Cream at Humphry Slocombe-never tried this ice cream joint, but I hear great things! Ice cream is my fav food, so we will probably also make a stop at Bi-Rite Creamery in the Mission as well
4. Go to Ocean Beach-we used to live a couple of blocks from OB and some of my fondest memories happened here. We will stop for coffee at Java Beach Cafe first & then slowly walk the deserted beach, smell the foggy air & listen for those beautiful fog horns
5. Browse at Little Otsu-I always loved popping my head into this light-filled, modern paper & art shop. Plus, good thrift shops and Aquarius Records are nearby
6. Eat breakfast at Bugaloo's-one of our fav breakfast joints with yummy black beans & eggs, coffee & cute tattooed waitresses. Epic goodness!
7. Record shopping at Amoeba's-Toby and I used to spend hours in here digging for records! Then we would go back to our super tiny apartment and play all our new records as the bus whirled by our front door.

Can't wait to hear the ring of the cable cars, sit in the grass next to the Dahlia garden in Golden Gate Park, eat Little Star Pizza for lunch, peek into people's pretty apartments through old windows, and remember being so young and in love while living in this great city!
