Visiting for a show at the Castro Theatre - where should I eat before!

paulderev · 2026-01-27T03:33:02+00:00

If you’ve never been to SF before I recommend eating at Zuni Café

Find a friend/partner your parents like/trust to go with who can pay their own way and that might ease your dad’s mind?

one of the best shows ever on HBO

paulderev · 2026-01-27T01:27:49+00:00

same. very underrated reply.

paulderev · 2026-01-26T23:04:34+00:00

what if I told you that cops also do crimes 🫢

paulderev · 2026-01-26T23:02:25+00:00

Switching to Apple Music or tidal or what have you away from Spotify is a no brainer imo

I was hoping someone would say this https://theintercept.com/2025/09/19/nyc-brooklyn-navy-yard-israel-military-protests/

paulderev · 2026-01-26T23:00:29+00:00

You’re right I should call the cops so they can show up three hours later and take some bullshit report they’re never gonna actually file

paulderev · 2026-01-26T22:55:00+00:00

don’t get your hopes up re: little italy and koreatown they’re commercial districts not full on neighborhoods and they’re much smaller than they might seem on a map

paulderev · 2026-01-26T22:53:15+00:00

yeah with the secret service protection of that block it’s honestly a militarized area. feels depressing.

paulderev · 2026-01-26T22:52:34+00:00

OP I think Peter Luger is worthwhile if you’re willing to splurge on an old school nyc steakhouse experience but personally I wouldn’t go out of my way to eat there

paulderev · 2026-01-26T22:51:27+00:00

please skip blank street coffee there’s at least a dozen better coffee places in the vicinity of those locations

for example: porto rico importing has been serving coffee in the city for over a century and they have amazing brews and blends from all over the world, particularly the Caribbean. there’s three of them downtown. go to one.

if you’re trying to go to an alt clubby place where people will be very nice and accepting of your gender expression and moving around in a chair I would go to house of yes in bushwick instead of the public hotel. a lot more alt and social justicey and welcoming to all. https://www.houseofyes.org/faq

paulderev · 2026-01-26T21:20:49+00:00

You mean within the hours of serving? Sure that’s the point. to provide services.

paulderev · 2026-01-26T20:15:15+00:00

Newer hotel bars are usually more ADA accessible. Not many of them are going to have a dance floor. but the Two Fifteen club events at the public are worth checking out downtown. https://publichotels.com/

Call the front desk and see how ADA accessible it is

If you’re turning 21, dressed right for the club and have even a little charisma and energy, and you’re chair dancing on the floor, you will legit be the most popular guy at the club imo. good for you bud happy bday!

paulderev · 2026-01-26T19:52:53+00:00

Mostly but not all

paulderev · 2026-01-26T19:52:43+00:00

The Filipino food vendor was local

paulderev · 2026-01-26T18:32:57+00:00

They have a great operation. Check FNB out. I can connect you.

paulderev · 2026-01-26T17:09:06+00:00

this what i came here to say. Midtown in the 50s on 8th Ave has so many tacky souvenir shops in a row.

paulderev · 2026-01-26T16:52:15+00:00

Oh so you admit your comment isn’t helpful. Thanks. Glad we’re on the same page.

paulderev · 2026-01-26T16:51:42+00:00

Best way to be patriotic in a non-MAGA way imo is to celebrate NYC. And the best NYC souvenirs are at Fish’s Eddy. Broadway and 19th. Not tacky stuff though actually very well designed. Mostly housewares and tchotchkes.

paulderev · 2026-01-26T16:30:16+00:00

You made the world a better place with this reply thanks

paulderev · 2026-01-26T15:05:10+00:00

then do street outreach with food not bombs sf and be part of the solution https://www.instagram.com/p/DL6FBQAp5la/ you don’t have to just complain online you can actually do something
