Bun Mee (Vietnamese Street Food) at Market Street

Webpage: http://www.bunmee.co/ Addresses: 650 Market Street 2015 Fillmore Street Food Rating: 4 out of 5 For those wanting Vietnamese Cheap Eats, this is one place to go.  I've tried their bun bowls which cost around 11 to 15 dollars, depending on what kind of meat you want.  I actually loved the fact that they have 'catfish' as one option.  Also the Vietnamese Fried Spring rolls are just great to go with the bun Bowl.

Red Cafe (Mission, San Francisco)

Webpage: http://redcafesf.net/ Address:   2894 Mission Street San Francisco Food Rating: 2 out of 5 This is an inconspicuous cafe along the 24th Street and Mission.  It does seem to have very good reviews in yelp (especially with its plantains, which unfortunately, I have not tried). I've order Corned beef hash with toast which cost around 10 bucks and coffee around 2 bucks. Overall, the food was 'meh' rather than nice or decent.  Corned beef tasted like those canned corned beef and really not worth paying 10 bucks.   Coffee is just normal coffee and nothing spectacular.  I wouldn't come back here but then again, the good thing is that it's close to my place and there's not much of a queue.  Or maybe at least go back for Plantains.

Long Branch Ranch Farm, Half Moon Bay

Link: http://longbranchfarms.net/ This is a small ranch, which can be a good venue for a company team building.  We had our Summer Picnic there and it was loads of fun. They prepared some games, some hiking where you get a great view of the bay, hay maze, and some "wild wild west" gambling.  It feels like a "Wild Wild West" kind of Universal Studios.

Pacific Heights, San Francisco

Since I've moved off to California, I'm starting off new articles all about San Francisco, starting off with the neighborhood where I'm temporarily staying. San Francisco is divided to several neighborhoods and each is distinct and unique on its own.  One is vastly different, just from the dirty slums of tenderloin to the nice Victorian houses of Pacific Heights.   A good article talking about these stereotypes can be found in Bold Italic article , funny but quite true explanation of each neighborhood. Pacific Heights, according to bold italic is the neighborhood where "you aren't rich enough to live here-landia" and whose main attraction is "Danielle Steel lives here."  But in all honestly, the place is nice, quaint, and quiet, which is far different from it's neighbouring areas like the Civic Center and polk street area. I've started using the "City Walks Guide" which was quite useful. Things to follow up next time:
