Musical in the City - Kinky Boots

Kinky Boots - Signs by roland luistro, on FlickrThis is a late post. In fact, this is a really late post because the show ran through December 28. It has been over for two months now.

However, I feel like I have to blog this show because it is a brilliant show with the right message. I would see it again when it comes back in town.

Cafe in the City - Chantal Guillon

Chantal Guillon - Boxes by roland luistro, on Flickr
After Karen, Dinah and I finished our delicious brunch at Monsieur Benjamin, we decided to walk around the Hayes Valley neighborhood.

We didn't go far at all because we found Chantal Guillon as soon as we turned right on Hayes St. from Gogh St. We decided to stay and enjoy some macarons.

Brunch in the City - Monsieur Benjamin

Monsieur Benjamin - Sign by roland luistro, on Flickr
Mijo and I have been having brunch mostly in what we call default brunch places like cafes in our neighborhood  that's why I haven't blogged our brunches.

However, my friends Dinah, Karen and I met up and had brunch to celebrate a special day at Monsieur Benjamin for the first time. It was extra special and I loved it!

Walking Tour in the City - Tour of Chinatown

Chinatown - Dragon's Gate by roland luistro, on Flickr
My mom was in San Francisco recently and I carefully planned her itinerary to make it easy for her to sight see. 

For her Chinatown tour, I tailored a personal walking tour for my mom so she can site see in Chinatown with minimal walks but loaded with a lot of Chinatown attractions. She loved it!

Cocktails in the City - TAP (415)

Tap 415 - Tap water by roland luistro, on Flickr
Mijo and I went to TAP415 twice last month while on break from the maddening Holiday shopping rush that engulfs Union Square every year.

We just wanted to break from the crowd but we discovered a new place to go for drinks. We like the cocktails at TAP415 and the food they serve with the drinks!

Panettone in the City - Scarpato Chocolate Pear and Glazed Chestnut

Scarpato Panettone Glazed Chestnut - Can Loaf by roland luistro, on FlickrThe Holiday Season is over and I always feel this tinge of sadness that the most wonderful time of the year go  by so fast. 

During the month of December, we sampled a lot of food and this includes our favorite holiday bread called Panettone. We sampled two different kinds of Panetonne by Scarpato and we totally enjoyed both!

Christmas in the City - Festive displays around San Francisco

View from Twin Peaks - Downtown view by roland luistro, on FlickrThe Holiday Season is my favorite time of the year.

It started raining non-stop early in the season but it doesn't stop me from enjoying the sights and sounds of the Christmas Season in the city.

I welcome the rain as much as I love the Holidays!
