Tried the chicken skin (salted), and it was not really tasty. Chicken Katsu Curry - #1 popular curry food and costs only 12 dollars.  It was quite good, not too salty, not to spicy, just about right.  Serving is small though.

I tried out the following Traditional Potato and Cheese Just usual Pierogi, it was "meh" to me. Spicy Avocado Sausage I really find it weird.. spicy, avocado, and sausage... it was something that I will not recommend. Mushroom This is prolly the best here and it's really good. 10 dollars for 2, 13 dollars for 3, and 20 dollars for 5 February 26, 2017 The Mushroom Pierogi 3 Pierogis with the cucumber salad Borscht as a side that comes with the meal You prolly wouldn't notice this place as it's a bit too inconspicuous!

Club Land San Francisco Tour

http://www.sfcityguides.org/desc.html?tour=120 " Some older tourist guide books from the mid 20th century refer to the area between Nob Hill, Union Square, and the Financial District as Club Land or Club Row. The heyday of these social clubs was from the late 19th century up to the Great Depression. There were clubs for men, women, and a huge range of social, ethnic, and interest groups. They all took pride in a handsome club house. After the Second World War, society and its clubs changed into a more mixed and uneven phenomenon. Some clubs disappeared, others adapted, and a small number remained just as powerful and exclusive as ever. This tour includes 11 buildings, starting on Nob Hill and ending at Union Square.

What is good about the tour: You see all the various clubs around the area (outside at least) and get to know tidbit of their hist
