This restaurant serves the traditional food of the Chomorros, the indigenous inhabitants of the Pacific island of Guam. The chef has taken this food and made it into a unique modern wonder. I had a magical evening there enjoying the tasting menu.

This is my kids' favorite activity in San Francisco. This amazing playground is built by the kids. When you go, they will hand you a hammer or saw or paint, and you create the playground and play in it. Amazing Bay views as well. BART on the Richmond line to N Berkeley and then take Lyft.

Shopping
"We don’t really want to get too into us right now. We run a pirate store. The less you know about us the better. Understand? Let’s just say that none of us are named “Petey,” none of us like the cut of anybody’s jib, and none of us has any fingerprints. Actually, many of us don’t have all of our fingers and one of us is missing an eye. We are a ragtag group of miscreants who sell pirate supplies in order to benefit the free programming that happens at our writing-tutoring center at 826 Valencia, and in classrooms all over San Francisco—and that’s all you need to know."
