I have the crixa photos here. : ) shall I email them?
cliff house is amazing for brunch, btw. let’s go when we get back to school.
crustacean was sort of disappointing, at least to me. my parents ordered one crab per person and the garlic butter ended up re-coagulating before we could finish. booo
i like the musical offering
good vibe
You should check out a favorite hang-out of mine..mostly for atmosphere and friendly faces, Hudson Bay Cafe
and a little bit of a different bakery you should check out: mariposa bakery. They focus on gluten-free and some dairy-free delights. In the products I have tasted, you can hardly tell…but then, I’m not required to eat it anymore
. They are located on telegraph a few blocks from bakesale betty…http://www.mariposabaking.com/
it isn’t gourmet, and it isn’t expensive, but before you check out Bakesale Betty (definately try their gingersnap by the way), if you aren’t going for the fried chicken sandwich, grab some lunch at Lanesplitters of you haven’t been.
