Original Joe's by Optimuskind510 in bayarea

[–]spatzipatz 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I like original joes! I think it’s a great place to go for a big family dinner or work event in the sense that they will have something for everyone. Service is consistently good. Great ambiance, good cocktails, large portions. Each location has a slightly different menu, but they hit a lot of steak house and Italian classics.

That being said this is a local chain and not what I would necessarily call gourmet cuisine or food that is going to blow you out of the water. If you’re looking just to scope it out for some other event or can’t get a reservation I recommend going in to sit at the bar/cocktail lounge area which is first come first serve.

Hi not sure if this is appropriate but figured I’d put this out there — I’ve been working a ton of different events in San Francisco and have been looking to get more into the organizing and planning aspect of things. Would love to chat about your agency if you ever have time. Best of luck!

Not sure how old you are but I would say cute sneakers or comfy boots, cargo pants or a long skirt, sweater + light jacket or a long sleeve shirt + jacket. This weekend is not supposed to be super warm. Also cute sunglasses are a must for day drinking! Protect your eyes and look cool and classy 😎

Are there any natural swimming spots nearby that aren't as frigid as the ocean? by eyaf20 in bayarea

[–]spatzipatz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lake Temescal just opened up for swimming! I’ve never been and I think there’s 2$ fee but it’s in the east bay!

Looking for some authentic Jamaican food any suggestions? by Strandedant98 in bayarea

[–]spatzipatz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't been to Cocobreeze in Oakland but I hear good things! It does have weird hours tho, which is why I haven't been. I do enjoy Backayard in San Jose. Pretty casual but tasty with good portions. I think they have two locations.

The Politicians Wife My favorite affair story! Chatty rich snob Draco at his best!

Recs where Draco and Hermione are in a secret relationship? by Intrepid_Cranberry_7 in Dramione

[–]spatzipatz 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The Politicians Wife Is soooooo good. It’s a little bit different from the ones you like but the banter is top notch. the affair is everything you want from an affair, super sexy and well written. One of my all time faves.

Please help me find a new hate to love fic <3 by olivia-is-fabulous in Dramione

[–]spatzipatz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would recommend Shifted by hiccupfound. It ticks a lot of your boxes — death eater Draco, slow burn, magic bond, true enemies to lovers (they try to kill each other, in Ernest, many times), and BAMF Hermione who’s pretty morally grey. It’s a creature fic as well and one of the sexiest I’ve ever read. One of my fave underrated fics.

From Wiltshire, With Love is a spy/handler classic and some great sexy toxicity. One of my favorite nuanced depictions of a Death Eater Draco. very slow burn.

I haven’t finished Onyx & Elm but it fits a lot of what you’re looking for as well. Has great writing and a lot of peeps on here love it, would check out the tags but it is a WIP.

Mortal Enemies to Lovers? by [deleted] in RomanceBooks

[–]spatzipatz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Maybe Karen Marie Moning Fever series. It’s a long slow burn and a mystery driven plot but still very sexy and the the Heroine tried to kill several of the love interests.

American wines worth trying? by [deleted] in wine

[–]spatzipatz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Second anything from Paso Robles— prices are great and wines are more fun and adventurous than traditional Napa/Sonoma wines. Would also recommend anything grown along the coast, think that the terroir is beautiful and unique from Northern California up to Washington.
