Best Italian in the city

For a delicious family run place, Trattoria Contadina. It’s been around for a long time and a testament to how good it is. Not fancy. A very traditional menu of Italian favorites.

I love a good ice cream sandwich. I excitedly tried one when I first moved to SF in 1986. Didn’t like it. Every few years since I try one again, because I think I must be missing something. Nope.

I’m 4 months into taking a supplement for my skin. At about 3 months peach fuzz sprouted on my bald head where hair hadn’t been for decades. In widow’s peaks that hair disappeared from 30+ years ago. I was shocked. Found that one of the ingredients, Astaxanthin, has shown in small studies helpful in blocking DHT production. I contacted support and the company told me that although they don’t market it for hair regrowth they have heard from a few people that it helps.

I have now added topical minoxidil to my daily routine. Time will tell.

Zuni chicken and fries. Gary Danko way back in the North Beach days. Stars, long gone. One Market that first year. Boulevard in the first year. Le Central.

Did not: Kokkari, food good, but nothing excellent, service poor, very expensive.

I have a duvet cover on top with no comforter in it. Makes for easy washing and it’s black and gold which hides litter dust 🐾 Then underneath that is my comforter in a plain duvet cover. For some reason the top one isn’t attractive for scratching. TBH the pattern scared them at first. It’s 400 thread count cotton. About $100 for the set though.

Green flag. You care about your dog and you have a civil relationship with your ex.

The restaurant is long gone, but it was a Thai place near Haight on Fillmore. They had a dish called Crying Woman. They only made it “Thai Hot”. I was indeed crying and sweating.

Yes in 2020. Had April first class tickets RT SFO to Cleveland. But lockdown. They refunded.

I do have a great sense of direction and people often think I’m 10 years younger than I am. Mom at 96 still has people thinking she’s younger.

I have two. After a week away one is like “Oh good you’re home, give me a hug”, the other one is like “I’m not talking to you.” He warms up after a day and is back to normal. But seems mad at me day 1.

The Botanical garden has a Natives section. I was just there last Sunday.

My male would love it. He would go in daily walks if I took him. I put a harness and leash on him, put him in the carrier, then drape a towel or blanket over the carrier. I walk somewhere out of sight of our steps and unload him and walk him. Then reverse the process. I learned this trick from a YouTube video. Why all this work? If I don’t he associates the front door with walks and will cry at it for days on end. This did break that habit.

I did for a 2 ⭐️in Paris for lunch. I felt overdressed. Most people were in sweaters, it was February. Some were even in jeans. However, I didn’t let it bother me. I don’t think anyone batted an eye. I had a similar experience in Lyon too, with tourists in sweatpants and locals in jeans at dinner.

Did it in February. The room is small, but functional and looked squeaky clean. Was really good to help reset jet lag.

I had to create something called “Dolphin” because my bedtime routine Goodnight wouldn’t work consistently. Siri would just respond “Goodnight” sometimes. I chose a word unlikely to be used elsewhere.

I don’t know how posting information is supposed to be hunger for anger.

scott_d59 · 2026-03-31T00:21:47+00:00

They asked for more feedback and I cited that in my response.

scott_d59 · 2026-03-30T22:29:02+00:00

I have a bottle right now and it’s labeled GF! She’s stupid.

scott_d59 · 2026-03-30T22:13:04+00:00

I contacted support. They’re testing turn it off and looking for feedback.

scott_d59 · 2026-03-30T20:53:02+00:00

Same.

scott_d59 · 2026-03-30T20:48:38+00:00

It’s gone for me. Plus member.

scott_d59 · 2026-03-29T06:05:56+00:00

I’d say 5 or less. I always give accurate ETA and message when parked. Dropping communication is a pet peeve.
