We ate lunch at Burma Superstar, our all time favorite restaurant! It's located on Clement Street, which is a block away from Geary Street, a main thoroughfare through the city. Clement is a vibrant, bustling little neighborhood with lots of dim sum joints, yummy bakeries and one of the best book shops, Green Apple. The food at Burma was as amazing as we remembered. On our way back to Scott & Cissa's home, we stopped in Golden Gate Park near the Panhandle to look at the Dahlia garden, which is in its prime at this time of year. The blooms were beyond spectacular and I could have spent all day looking at them; so many bright colors and voluminous shapes! With the sunshine out in full force, the park was glistening with life.
Our last full day in the City was spent exploring The Mission District. We wondered into Four Barrel Coffee on Valencia by accident and were surprised with a large open space filled with stylish locals. The coffee is roasted on sight, so the aromatic smell of fresh grounds fills the air. Our cup was very yummy! Toby loved their parklet and abundance of bicycle parking. I stopped into Painted Bird and then we headed over to Little Star Pizza to grab a pie for lunch. Little Star is the absolute yummiest pizza in town! We took our hot pizza to Dolores Park, where Maverick was delighted to be! He crawled all over the place, watched the wind gently blow the grass and crunched leaves between his toes. The park was glorious, filled with people simply enjoying the sun. The sounds of people in one green, beautiful open space really made my heart ache for the city. We felt so relaxed and happy to just be sitting there in the grass, overlooking the cityscape.
We ended our last day with a few scoops from Bi-Rite Creamery (and, the line was actually short-wow!). It was such a fun visit. We packed our days to the brim and went home rather tired, but we can't wait to visit our beloved San Francisco again! Goodbye for now, sweet city!
