Did you know that the fortune cookie was a food that was invented here in San Francisco? The Bay Area happens to be the birthplace of a number of different foods including the Popsicle, Crab Louis salad, Cioppino stew and the Martini. This clip that tells you the history of the fortune cookie is set at the Japanese Tea Garden, a beautiful retreat within Golden Gate Park.
There is going to be some debate among people browsing through the San Fran Voice information about San Francisco neighborhoods as to whether or not Fisherman’s Wharf can really be called a “neighborhood”. It’s a place with geographic boundaries for sure, but it’s more of a tourist attraction than a neighborhood, right? In a sense, yes, but in terms of being a part of the city which is unique in and of itself to the area within which it is confined, I think that Fisherman’s Wharf is very much its own neighborhood.
Fisherman’s Wharf itself is the section of the city …read more

Before I moved to San Francisco, my brother lived here in a neighborhood that was loosely defined as Lower Nob Hill which turned out to just be a pretty name for the edges of the Tenderloin neighborhood. He told me stories about wandering a little bit too far from those edges, into the heart of the Tenderloin, and encountering shady activity that he just didn’t see throughout the rest of San Francisco. But at the same time, he loved his neighborhood. And now that I live here and have hung out regularly with friends who take advantage of the relatively cheap …read more

I’m not sure where I heard it, but I’ve been told that San Francisco’s Chinatown is the largest Chinatown in the world (outside of Asia). I’m not sure if that means geographically or in terms of numbers of residents or businesses in the area, but whichever one of these things it means, I definitely believe that it’s probably true. Extending for many more blocks than the average-sized neighborhood in San Francisco, Chinatown is jam packed with businesses and restaurants that cater to the tastes of both tourists and the people who live in the neighborhood. From the dim sum spots …read more

San Francisco is a city which is very neighborhood-oriented. People identify with the neighborhoods in which they live and work, selecting from a range of quite different choices to find a locale which suits their personal styles. From the Mission to the Marina, from North Beach to the Tenderloin, from the Castro to the Haight, from the Financial District to the SoMa … people in San Francisco hear the names of certain neighborhoods and either smile or cringe with recognition.

You can’t miss San Francisco’s Telegraph Hill neighborhood because it’s topped by the famous Coit Tower which you can see from most points around the city. But when you start walking in the direction of Coit Tower, you might find that you get a bit lost because the streets of this San Francisco neighborhood are a bit curvy, with a number of dead ends and a lot of confusion. This is a mostly residential area, which is interesting because the famous landmarks also makes it a tourist destination, so the traffic here is crowded and there’s not much thing as …read more

Dear City That Has My Heart,
From the very first moment that I fell in love with you, I understood that this was going to be an open relationship. And I’m all for it. Really, at heart, I’m an open relationship kind of girl. Monogamy has never made much sense to me; we reach our full potential when we are able to explore all of our own limits without having limitations imposed upon us. What makes sense is the idea that other people should enjoy all that you have to offer and since you’ve never failed to meet my needs, I’ve …read more
