Working in San Francisco

So all this week, while I'm waiting for Treasure Island Fest this weekend and after watching the 49ers lose at home worse than they have in over 40 years, I'm sitting at my friend Matt's house, toiling away at the computer and enjoying the finer things in San Francisco. Of course, by finer things I mean cheap beers and expensive donuts. I really need to move up here.

So that said, some recommendations for travelers visiting The City:

Dynamo-

I think donuts are destined to be the new cupcakes. It's high time for a renaissance and Dynamo is leading the way. Maple bacon apple donut? Yes, please. They also know how to make a good espresso drink. The only downside is the donuts run pricey. I mean, I know the honey lavender glaze is costly, but $3 for a raised donut? Ouch.

St. Francis Fountain-

Half a block from Dynamo is one of the best breakfasts in the city, making morning decisions that much tougher. St. Francis is cozy and delicious.

Absinthe-

Not a place I would generally go to. One, it's super expensive; two... well, number one sums it up. My friend Justin is a manger there though, so we paid a visit. They indeed serve its namesake liquor, and also a menagerie of delightful cocktails. But, as I said, expensive.

That should do for now. Maybe I'll throw a few more out later.
