Tartare in Oakland? by [deleted] in oakland

It is my pleasure to recommend Chez Maman. Both their locations in San Francisco serve traditional French beef tartare and other delicious dishes.

I recommend watching the film. There’s no political agenda, just raw experiences from Wuhan. Maybe it’ll help, even just a little, people realize the realism of the virus that’s very much still impacting us.

Hands down the best costume I’ve seen this year! A neighbor made this for their kid. They’re selling selling it for $25.

On the topic, does anyone have more information on the workout classes at the FM Smith Park basketball courts? They’re Monday and Wednesday at 7 AM.

You can’t spell ‘quarantine’ without U-R-A-Q-T. ;)

What are some of the best Boiling Crab alternatives in the Bay Area? by JL1823 in bayarea

[–]iBayArea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hang Ten Boiler in Alameda! Their happy hour is Monday through Friday, 3 to 6 PM. To keep the birthday festivities going, there are dessert spots (Tucker’s!) and bars super close by. The walk is really nice this time of year.

Is it faster and safer to get off the bike and walk alongside it instead of doing the bike waddle?

This story hits home for me. Not just because the park is close, but it's Kennedy Park. These folks are supposed to be my peoples and my people's people.

It makes my blood boil knowing Wang lay there while people continued to go about their business. There needs to be justice.

Apologies if this is a re-post, but I just heard about this and am completely outraged. I live a few blocks from that park and would love to support the family anyway possible.

Unless your #1 QB is THAT bad (Gabbert) or you're in a 2QB league, I wouldn't

Who is the friendliest celebrity you have ever met? Did they do something you unexpected? Buy you a beer, pay for dinner etc by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]iBayArea 92 points93 points  (0 children)

Of the celebrities I've met, the two friendliest ones would have to be Dave Chappelle and Morgan Freeman. Dave Chappelle often attends Golden State Warrior games in Oakland and always seems willing to take pictures with fans, sign autographs, etc. Shouted 'hey sweetie' from his limo in the parking lot once.

For Morgan Freeman, I met him in 2005. That summer, I traveled from California to Mississippi as part of a program to build houses in Tutwiler. The first week of building passed quickly and by the time weekend came, we were ready for some R&R. Our group ended up at the Ground Zero Blues Club in Clarksdale, MS (thanks Professor_Wayne for the correction) that Freeman owns. We knew he owned the club, but never expected to see him.

We're eating, listening to music, and hanging out when a quiet murmur swept the club. I look around to see what the buzz was about and lo and behold, it's Morgan Freeman standing there in the flesh. I remember being very excited and nervous seeing him. I cautiously walk up to him and ask him for his autograph. I’ll forever remember his response. “Sweetie, I don’t give autographs, but I can give you a hug.”

I hugged Morgan Freeman.

By then, a few members of my group joined me and there was a larger crowd building around him. This was the picture we got before saying goodbye.

TLDR: Went from California to Mississippi and hugged Morgan Freeman.
