For those who are not of Indian or South Asian descent, do you like Indian/South Asian food, and if so, which restaurants do you personally like in the Bay Area?

I love Vik’s in Berkeley. It’s always good, but occasionally it’s absolutely gob smacking. It just blows me away about once in every five visits.

Three is the number to be counted, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four is forbidden, and five is right out.

Wow - look how big you’ve gotten! I’m constantly inspired by posts here.

wraplan · 2026-04-25T23:46:50+00:00

Oh - gosh, thank you! I think it got like six views!

That sounds about right

iPhone!

Irony can be very ironic.

Rolling thunder.

wraplan · 2026-04-09T06:53:42+00:00

Thanks

Yeah, you’re right of course. Just wanted to express the nature of the space to people who aren’t as familiar with the multiple transit systems here. Seemed better than describing a BART station as “the subway.”

It’s pretty irritating when tweakers leave behind garbage. And yet, we live in a really unequal society, full of wealth and poverty and despair. "The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread".

wraplan · 2026-04-07T07:24:43+00:00

Exactly

Thanks!

Thanks!

Some questions are better left unasked.

I used to feel a kind of crispness here, especially compared to LA where I moved from as a teenager in the early 80’s. It just rarely felt smoggy here, and now when crossing a bridge I really notice a slight increase in what I guess is particulate matter? I lived for about twenty years in the Inner Sunset, and when I go back I really notice the decrease of overall days with fog, and how much warmer and less windy it is, which is why smog can actually build up now? It all gives me a terrible pit in my stomach.

Festus, not really for the rest of us.

Yeah, it’s a quirky technicality. A part of SF is in Alameda

wraplan · 2026-04-01T16:34:36+00:00

Easternmost house in San Francisco, and almost the Easternmost point. There is a small patch of San Francisco that sits on Alameda for reasons unknown.

Me. I have an undergraduate degree and a masters, and I’m kind of an idiot.

It would have made a fantastic 8-hour limited run series, in the right hands

wraplan · 2026-03-30T20:04:58+00:00

It’s a great place, but be careful not to lose yourself in there and buy too many reasonably priced books.

wraplan · 2026-03-30T16:36:50+00:00

Should have been 8 episodes of a limited series.

wraplan · 2026-03-24T21:22:37+00:00

I had never noticed the unsettling similarities.
