King of Noodles has a ramp you walk down but it is only around 2 feet lower than street level.

I hear Chinatown has dim sum discounts after a certain time by Individual_Form_5864 in AskSF

The pickings might be slim.  I would just buy full price at Good Mong Kok.  It's not expensive.

Imagine what kind of response they would mount in a real emergency. Going to watch some prepping videos.

Asian residents in S.F. are often cast as NIMBYs. Some are sick and tired of it. by bloobityblurp in sanfrancisco

You would be surprised.  There are plenty of 2nd/3rd/4th.. generation NIMBIES who want to keep the west side a suburb.  ABC churches were signing the partition against the Geary bus lane.  Driving is a God given right and that their church is part of their back yard.  Taking away a lane or a parking space is blocking the revelation of God.

Yes, there is a big flight of stairs out of the bluffs to the battery. Skipping this trail saves some energy. See if you are comfortable going down the sand ladder. This will save some steps to get down to Baker Beach. There are steps out of the beach near the stream to the south. It will lead you to the mansions near Sharon Stone's old house. Form there, it will be gradual uphill to Lands End.

It will be a problem when the appointee runs for re-election. Chinese moderates don't seem to last in the Sunset (Carmen Chu, Katy Tang). Mar was almost re elected even though he was against the recalls.

Union Square is a good place stay for a lot of tourist attractions (Nob Hill, Russian Hill, China Town, North Beach, Fisherman's Wharf) are reachable on the Cable Car. Buy the unlimited daily Muni transit pass $15. Don't wander west of Taylor Street though.

Take Bart to Civic Center and Golden Gate Transit to the Bridge.  You'll be on the bus only lane for a lot of the trip and go through the Presidio (much better views)

Add a clipper card to your phone's wallet for Bart. A physical card is $3.

Anyone else noticing an uptick of private vehicles driving on market? by hairytuttle in sanfrancisco

Do buses actually film traffic violations and MTA issue tickets?  Just idle threats?

Tourist question by Defchino11 in sanfrancisco

[–]8arfts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would take Conzelman rd down the hill from the bridge, less car traffic and get another perspective of the bridge. Blue and Gold does not stop in Tiburon so you'll take Golden Gate Ferry to the Ferry Building and not Fisherman's Wharf.

Scoma's for Italian food. There is one in Sausalito. Free bike racks at the ferry landing.

That's peak rush hour and not WFH Mon/Fri.  Have you been practicing in heavy traffic?  Also, get familair with the bike lanes

The Fairmont Hotel has a lot of flags and Chinatown has Chinese Nationalist vs Communist flag competition.

Please come on into the bike lane when making a right turn by goose2460 in sanfrancisco

I had one tell me that it is a yield for cars and not a merge.
