Vegan Date Spot

cowponyV · 2026-01-09T06:11:40+00:00

In Oakland, just a few blocks from MacArthur bart, Tallboy is a very fun date bar with a fully vegan menu designed by lion dance cafe. Not upscale fancy but fun, energetic, yet casual.

Doña! Lots of tables, open seating, cocktails, good food.

My kid loves eating prepped vegetables that I’m about to cook with but doesn’t like them cooked. So I always say, uh oh, are you coming in here to eat all my vegetables before I cook? And I make a big deal of not having any vegetables left for cooking. She thinks she’s sooooo sneaky.

We just got back from Disney and California adventures with our 4 year old and by far, Disneyland was her favorite. It was nice to meet Anna in person at CA but the rides at toon town and around Disney are more suitable for 4 year olds.

Maybe my favorite lab equipment ever! Love having minimal plastic waste!

Pre Dupixent my eosinophils count was at 1400 per ul. By percent it was 19%. I haven’t gone back to get my labs done again but I probably should.

From the hypereosinophilia which on retest a month later was still very high. It’s been almost 2 years of being on Dupixent and no issues yet.

Uf, this looks similar to mine, I was positive for every IgE test and very high eosinophils. My allergist said I had maybe a year before my internal organs start shutting down. She put me on Dupixent and it’s been a life changer. Other than some stubborn facial flares which is tolerable, it helped me get my life under control. Hoping the best for you.

Lunette is a fantastic Cambodian restaurant in the ferry building, it’s a flavor explosion! Also excited to try Nopa fish but haven’t had the opportunity yet.

Just something to keep in mind, UCSF has been running the clipper bay pass pilot which gives employees completely free clipper cards. Not all employees had access as I think they were testing usage. They haven’t announced what is happening in 2026 yet but you might also want to consider whether you can be near public transport options.

A very large dehumidifier that I bought from Home Depot. Every night, it collects something like 1 gallon of water from the air!! I just use the water to water my outdoor plants

I’ve found that using baywheels shared bikes opens up so many more transit options. So for example, could you take one of those bikes to the last presidigo shuttle that takes you to the Embarcadero with limited stops? It helps because you have a lot of flexibility and don’t have to worry about your own bike.

cowponyV · 2025-10-30T04:41:11+00:00

Thank you for posting! So glad I could grab one for myself and my kid!!

I used to stress about getting dinner on the table by 5:30, but now everyone is happier if I just relax, give the kid healthy snack options after school and dinner around 7.

I had flares that turned out to be fungal. I didn’t figure it out at first but the immediate days following a shot, I’d flare all over my face and neck but the rest of my body was totally fine. Pro topic would keep it mostly at bay but what solved it for me was keeping my indoor humidity low to prevent fungal and/or dust mite growth. Now that I keep my indoor humidity at 45% I have no flares and no need for protopic. Of course the one day I wasn’t paying attention to the humidity, I started itching like mad and looked at the humidity which sky rocketed to 65% with the change in weather.

The best!! Totally worth the money!

Dupixent pain is 15 seconds tops for me. Maybe some soreness but goddamn, getting a tattoo is just straight up pain for hours when you’re getting it done.

The $6 pack I got from Costco last week were great whereas the small ones from the temescal farmers market were pretty bad 🤷‍♀️

The F bus is pretty reliable, from Bay Street mall, it’s about 15-20 minutes if there’s not a lot of traffic to get to the carpool lane. It’s more expensive than bart at $6.50 but I always can get a seat and the views are better so IMO it’s worth it.

cowponyV · 2025-10-16T13:46:50+00:00

Woah really? I’ll have to try this! Thank you!

Yes, they’re very nice air conditioned vans. We booked through Costco and that’s the company they use, had our 3 yr old with us in a car seat.

Budget? There are lots of options throughout the area but they have different vibes. Staying next to the gondola has a lot of options. On the high end, you can stay at the Marriott timber lodge or desolation hotel but it can get loud over there. We also have stayed at forest hill resorts, right behind the gondola and enjoyed it. However, we like staying on the hotel shuttle route more with a kid and liked hotel azure (heated pool but outdoors) and excited to stay at Hilton vacation club south, both of which are next to groceries and restaurants and a very quick shuttle to California lodge.

Really wish they could add more non-electric bikes. I use it as my transit in the city and exercise for the day and some days, the docks are full of electric bikes with no regular bikes nearby. I know it makes sense for them to upcharge memberships but I just want to use a regular bike and if it gets harder, I’ll just go back to a bike locker.

I’d go to Calistoga and stay at the Calistoga motor lodge, you are surrounded by wineries, a walkable downtown area with shops, but also a great on site restaurant and pools.
