I really love how sweet and loving of a couple y’all are. Also how genuine and non staged your videos are. Keep up the good work y’all!! Love the videos!!!
Sf native here 64years no sea lions at pier 39 because this time of year they are in the ocean,lots of salmon out there and bait fish to eat,plus it's mating season they go down the coast to rocky places to give birth,they will be back in Aug- sept
At least you had the place to yourselves. It's always nice to go there in the evening when there is less of a crowd. Antique arcade is always fun next to The Franciscan.
Hi guys liz from scotland here I was in San Francisco 3 years ago loved it it's heartbreaking to see it so empty same as vegas love that too love your videos stsy safe see you next time
We are dying out here and appreciate your videos to let people know please come and have a good time. Just mask and distance. Many young people don't. If I knew you were here I would have bought you lunches. Your videos are invaluable. Thanks.
My home town SF! It is crazy to see everything deserted! It looks a lot like a ghost town. I was dying with the Acme bread sandwiches! They do have the best bread! Happy to see you out in the sunshine 🌞
Thank you for showing us San Francisco. Yes, that looked kinda of sad but also peaceful. Yes, go back to Las Vegas! I never get tired of your adventures there. :)
Hi guys! I’m glad you tried Chowders. It’s great, isn’t it! Like I said, we use to have Boudins, back in the 90’s when we were dating and couldn’t really afford to splurge on a fancy meal. One day, the line to Boudin’s was really long so we tried Chowders. We would get one bowl of chowder in a sourdough bowl and also get an order of chicken strips and an order of fried zucchini and one Coca Cola. Yep, we shared everything. And you could get a refill of chowder for a dollar. We could get all that food for less than $15 back then which was a lot cheaper than two bowls of Boudins chowder. And 30 years later, we still go to Chowders whenever we’re in that area, and still share the food. Its definitely not $15 anymore but we still get the same items. It’s a tradition!
We missed the bread bowl chowders & Little Italy for our day there. And so sad you missed the seals! Our son was not as patient as you with the hills of that great city...but he was 9. Great vid!!!
You’re in SF! Unfortunately majority of the businesses are still closed for covid here. If you came outside of SF, more things are open! Chinatown next time go to golden gate fortune cookie!
Thank you guys, I live an hour outside of the city and was contemplating on going in the city wanted to see if anything was open , there was a recent fire at the pier. Its good to see there's still a few spots open. Happy traveling !
Thanks for posting this video. My elderly parents were considering going to the city to walk around these same areas as they did before the pandemic and i referred them to this video to see what the scene was like and get a sense of how crowded and safe it was. Your adventurousness and love for food and travel benefits us all in many ways. i also told them about your story that i gathered from your Q&A vids and you have some new fans!
You two are absolutely The Best... San Francisco is my home town and I was thinking of coming to visit.. I live in Charlotte North Carolina now it's nice to see my city again.. at least I know what to expect if I decide to come back home for visit.. thank you and keep up the good work. 🙂
When I worked for the airlines we loved going to SF for the food. Soul food at Brenda's on Polk st, rooftop bar at El Techo's on Mission st and our son worked at Seven Hills on Hyde. So sad to see all the places shutdown.
What a shock to see you are back in my city and no contact. Many of your comments seem to refleck you did not check things out before making your trip. City has been sheltered in place since March. Just recently some places are able to serve outside seating. No indoor. And many have been closed since March. Many residents are without work and hence income. Tourists are not coming from domestic nor international and no conventions. Las Vegas is without conventions as well and hence they are not crowded during the week. I am happy you were able to find a few places to eat. I AM VERY HAPPY my mayor and our state are taking care to not have spikes with those infected with Covid virus. jmo
These people are an inspiration!! You can be safe, but gotta live your life. God bless you guys and its awesome that you are trying to jump start travel in our country, and those businesses that deserve all of support.
11th big bill on his day trip living life.... great video guys love how yall risk it all for us viewers so we can have entertainment.... Thanks again your #1 Fan Jay
64years old native here,in the morning there are just a few cars on the streets it's sad,everybody sitting in their house,only going to get food once a week,my mother in law is 98, been in the house since Feb 15
The city also needs to get cleaned up. A lot of my relatives that have visited commented on how dirty the city is, not like when they were here many years ago...
I live on the peninsula in the Bay Area and it makes me sad to hear that my city is so dead. But better to be safe than sorry I think. Right now, it seems like the virus is still running rampant. Since I'm traveling vicariously through you two, it would be nice to see a video on how it is to travel right now in the COVID-era. Stay safe and healthy you two!!
I live in the Bay Area with my hubby. We love the Ferry Market Building! I've never not seen sea lion/seals along the water front before. Do you guys like fish and chips? Have you eaten at the Codmother for fish and chips near Fisherman's Wharf? Yummy, delicious!! Also try Dandelion Chocolate Factory for chocolate made in small batches. Everyone has heard of Ghiradelli. Pre-pandemic, Dandelion Chocolate Factory use to have small group behind the scenes chocolate tastings/tours at one of their SF stores where you could see the chocolate being made. These tours were totally worth it and I hope they return soon. Just a couple of recommendations for things you may have not done before in SF.
Hi there Lisa and Bill, My wife and I have become your devoted followers on your channel. As we can see that you both make a wonderful and loving couple 🥰 Please continue on what you do on your channel, as we always excited and cannot wait to see your next adventure! We hope one day to become foodie and travelers like you both! Thank you for your inspiration. God bless the two of you and stay safe always!
Bill & Lisa's food and travel vlog Hi there Bill and Lisa, My wife and l hope one day to meet you both on your trips (hopefully Oahu, Honolulu) as we do our yearly trips there. Until then take care and Mahalo for your reply.
SF, my hometown. Go one block up from Grant Ave, onto Stockton St & you’ll see where the natives get their dim sum. Be sure to try out the Mission District too for their food scene. ❤️
Darlins, if you come to SF during pandemic and want to go to Chinatown, know that the main drag, Grant Ave is pretty much closed and depressing looking. Go one block down, Kearny St for some good eating, and one block up, Stockton St for the local action. it will be shoulder to shoulder so be careful not to get knocked over by someone's grandma.. take out dim sum here, great bahn Mi, and huge rice plates piled with meats. also between Grant and and Stockton are some sketchy looking alleys. look for some good restaurants here, and the open fortune cookie factory on Ross Alley.
Refreshing to see the pandemic duo living large. Holla to ya. Hey, loved the sharp resolution and the cam pan from alcatraz to gg bridge and the seal party ( IDK but probably because know one feeds them and therefore, are not interested in spot anymore? better as Jacque C.) Blasphemy on saying tomato over a bowl of chowder as I am from Boston. Keep on spreading the love.
I used to work at a cafe there at pier39 & a jewelry store on the 2nd floor just a few months ago for the past 3 years. Im so glad to see they are reopening some places :)! unfortunately the places I worked aren’t there hahhhhha. Cup & cake cafe , the fudgery, stone flower hhah
Welcome to my city Bill and Lisa!! When everything reopens again, y’all should really check out the museum of ice cream! I’ve mentioned it before but I highly recommend it because that place is EVERYTHING!! Lol.
For my liking I would probably go for Boudin, just because it's less creamy and I like to dip the bread without the chowder being too creamy, only downside its less clams.
So sad to see San Francisco so empty but the two of you made it a positive and fun day trip. Guess the sea lions are social distancing too. 🤣 Thank you Bill and Lisa and stay safe. One more thing: CONGRATULATIONS ON REACHING 16K SUBS!!!
Have you ever been to Monterey? An array of amazing seafood restaurants line the Wharf waiting to serve samples of there Clam Chowder as you walk by. It’s incredible for Chowder Lovers! 🤤
Hey.Bill and Lisa, this’s my first time video in ur channel and I like it . You Guys lovely couple and i like ur show a lot. B&L I just want to say thank you so much for showed me pier 39 China town I mean since The pandemic lockdown I never been my fav spot pier 39 & Chinatown so again thx for showed me around and it looks ghost town nothing to see but I hope u coming back one day & we’re going to eat chowder together lol I’m a New subscriber keep it up a good work stay safe. From San Francisco. P.S you’ve a lot of video from sinCity,Chicago can’t wait to see it all lol.
SF doing a great job at minimizing the spread of Covid, Im not surprised why, the best Clam chowder is Pikes Place Chowder in Seattle, the 2nd best is Market Street Grill in SLC!
Next time you come to SF Chinatown, check out a great dim sum place name Good Mong Kok. It is located on Stockton St and is so good that there is always a line. Great food, generous portions at great prices! Try their porridge (pork with 1000 year egg)...very yummy and their shrimp Ha Gow have big pieces of shrimp instead of bamboo shoots other dim sum places use. They stayed opened when other places closed because of Covid-19. Check them out on yelp...a lot of satisfied customers. Love your videos! Always looking forward to your next adventure!
So hooked on your videos thank you for sharing, can you guys do a video where you explain what you did before the food travel videos and how you got started maybe also tell us which is your favorite food destination. Thank you!
SF native here! New subscriber! Love the content and how happy you two look vlogging! Have you guys tried Trish's mini donuts when you guys visited previously?
Bill & Lisa, San Francisco is still alive and kicking. Mayor Breed and our health director Dr. Colfax are very careful about opening up retail areas where groups of people gather. That's why San Francisco is doing well during COVID19. Merchants are being smart and open when most people go out to shop (end of the week and weekends depending on location). Next trip: I recommend you visit the Westside neighborhoods. Visit Clement Street in the Inner Richmond (dim sum shops! a variety of Asian foods!) Or the 9th Avenue & Irving Street area of the Inner Sunset neighborhood (multi-cultural). In Chinatown, Stockton Street is where locals shop for food. For take out dim sum: try Good Mong Kok Bakery (super popular!); for egg tarts: if Golden Gate Bakery isn't open, try AA Bakery & Cafe. Both of these shops are on Stockton Street. I enjoy your videos. Thanks for showing cool places to go. Please do come up North and visit the City again sometime soon.
My fave' Blue Bottle 1:15! I wish Boudin Bakery would sell giant bags of just the sourdough insides, no crusts, like the Seinfeld Muffin Top episode. That is the quietest airport footage I've ever seen! How full was your plane?
Best way to start off the day with a Bill and Lisa vlog! Aww unfortunate that the city is so empty but at least you made the best of it like y'all always do and got some sight seeing in! Yumm and atleast you got to eat some norcal clam chowder from Boudin! Ugh it's unfortunate none of the dim sum spots were open that was hands down my favorite thing to eat when I was in SF it was great
Bill & Lisa's food and travel vlog so you are aware of that bakery lol I think we talking about the same one it’s sooo good 😋 oh well there’s always next time 🤷🏻♂️
Next time try Lung Fung Bakery on Clement near 21st Ave for egg tarts as good as Golden Gate for less. Then Ariscault for the absolute best croissants and kouign ammans, chocolate croissants, almond and chocolate croissants. Yum. Btw, loving your vlog!
You guys always make me giggle. My friends call you babe and baby. They follow your channel too. We always get good ideas for our meetup group from you of places to go out to eat in the Vegas area. Hopefully we will be getting out to dinner soon. The chowder looked delicious.
Nice video. Next time, skip the clam chowder (creamy clam chowder in a NorthEast thing, not a SF thing) and have something that's really San Franciscan and that's Cioppino, especially in the winter time when it's dungeness crab season. Goes great with SF sourdough bread.
I go to golden boy when i can pull over somewhere which is almost never if not go around the corner to Tony's slice house the best slice i have found in s.f.
If only you went on Stockton street between Washington and Jackson Street. 2 bakeries and dim sum to-go. As well as dragon fruit and mangoes. SF is still on SIP.
Lol golden gate is closed often....I live in the bay and you just never know when their open unfortunately.....this is in general...not bc of covid ☹️ I've been trying to get some from golden gate for a long time now lol haven't had any luck...sucks...Oakland and sf we haven't opened much yet....we have to go to other cities if we want to go eat etc enjoy the warm weather!! Well warm for us NorCal folks lol
That's what we read on Yelp about Golden Gate Bakery, but this time the front was boarded up. Not sure if they go through the hassle of taking down and putting up the plywood barrier each time they open. It was sunny, high of 71, felt great!
I really love how sweet and loving of a couple y’all are. Also how genuine and non staged your videos are. Keep up the good work y’all!! Love the videos!!!
Sf native here 64years no sea lions at pier 39 because this time of year they are in the ocean,lots of salmon out there and bait fish to eat,plus it's mating season they go down the coast to rocky places to give birth,they will be back in Aug- sept
At least you had the place to yourselves. It's always nice to go there in the evening when there is less of a crowd. Antique arcade is always fun next to The Franciscan.
Wow so sad to see so many restaurants are closed in Chinatown, hoping they're doing well :)
Hi guys liz from scotland here I was in San Francisco 3 years ago loved it it's heartbreaking to see it so empty same as vegas love that too love your videos stsy safe see you next time
We are dying out here and appreciate your videos to let people know please come and have a good time. Just mask and distance. Many young people don't. If I knew you were here I would have bought you lunches. Your videos are invaluable. Thanks.
My home town SF! It is crazy to see everything deserted! It looks a lot like a ghost town. I was dying with the Acme bread sandwiches! They do have the best bread! Happy to see you out in the sunshine 🌞
I love how you two seem so in love, Lisa still gets those butterfly eyes.
You both are true soulmates! The love you show each other is so pure and beautiful ♡
Thank you for showing us San Francisco. Yes, that looked kinda of sad but also peaceful. Yes, go back to Las Vegas! I never get tired of your adventures there. :)
Hi guys! I’m glad you tried Chowders. It’s great, isn’t it! Like I said, we use to have Boudins, back in the 90’s when we were dating and couldn’t really afford to splurge on a fancy meal.

Adorable couple... our family loves you guys. Thanks for a great video... take care
You need to do Chinatown in Las Vegas, especially restaurants in Shanghai Plaza.
Definitely like a Ghost town compared to normal. Definitely strange times. Love that you two are still getting out doing what you love doing.
Agreed, was a bit eerie seeing the city like this.
Tanya A totally agree. I used to work there a couple places
You’re in SF! Unfortunately majority of the businesses are still closed for covid here. If you came outside of SF, more things are open! Chinatown next time go to golden gate fortune cookie!
Been to the Golden Gate Fortune Cookie before, cool place with free samples (with purchase)! Curious if they're open now.
@@billandlisa They are! Was just there the other week. Owner is a great guy, very nice & welcoming and one of our amazing SF small business owners.
Sad to see so eerie quiet. Congrats on hitting 16K it only took 1 or 2 days that is amazing. It sounds like you will be heading to Vegas, stay safe 👍
Thank you guys, I live an hour outside of the city and was contemplating on going in the city wanted to see if anything was open , there was a recent fire at the pier. Its good to see there's still a few spots open. Happy traveling !
Fire on Pier 39? If so, we saw no evidence of any past fire damage.
@ Bill & Lisa-The fire was on Pier 45 back in May 2020
Thanks for posting this video. My elderly parents were considering going to the city to walk around these same areas as they did before the pandemic and i referred them to this video to see what the scene was like and get a sense of how crowded and safe it was. Your adventurousness and love for food and travel benefits us all in many ways. i also told them about your story that i gathered from your Q&A vids and you have some new fans!
Thank you! Hope the video was helpful to your parents.
You two are absolutely The Best... San Francisco is my home town and I was thinking of coming to visit.. I live in Charlotte North Carolina now it's nice to see my city again.. at least I know what to expect if I decide to come back home for visit.. thank you and keep up the good work. 🙂
Omg! I wonder if most of these business will be able to reopen? Once your doors close they tend to stay closed! So sad!
When I worked for the airlines we loved going to SF for the food. Soul food at Brenda's on Polk st, rooftop bar at El Techo's on Mission st and our son worked at Seven Hills on Hyde. So sad to see all the places shutdown.
We really like Brenda's too! We ate there on our prior visit last year.
My brother lives in San Francisco and he loves Brenda's.
Brenda’s Meat and Three is still open. I made a special trip up to SF a few weeks ago for shrimp & grits and crawfish beignets.
What a shock to see you are back in my city and no contact. Many of your comments seem to refleck you did not check things out before making your trip. City has been sheltered in place since March.

We're based out of LA, so we knew going into SF, it would be the same. The city's economic recovery starts with people like us and locals alike.
Wow, things are so quiet in San Fran. Nice video!
Good job of finding places open to explore with so much closed. Would love to see a red chowder shootout the next time with a sourdough bagel!
These people are an inspiration!!
You can be safe, but gotta live your life.
God bless you guys and its awesome that you are trying to jump start travel in our country, and those businesses that deserve all of support.
Love clam chowder! Must try Chowders. Never had it...ty for sharing. I enjoy watching your foodie blogs every night!
11th big bill on his day trip living life.... great video guys love how yall risk it all for us viewers so we can have entertainment.... Thanks again your #1 Fan Jay
My hometown..now in Atlanta, GA I get emotional just thinking about it being shutdown..thanks for visiting so I can feel like I'm there

Good to know what's happening to the city. Happy travels!
That sourdough bread looked amazing, I was craving it from watching you guys eat
I am so sad to see the piers so empty 😢 😞 😔. It's one of my favorite places to go just because. Thank you both for sharing this with us.
Nice to see you still in action. I know you guys got this down but just have to say stay safe! 🥰🤙🏽

Thanks Ramsey! Apparently the sea lions migrate south for the Summer. Didn't mean to say tomato, that's what happens on one-take shoots! haha
Yes, you're right, it is depressing to see the city like this😒....incredible also.
One day let's hope traveling will come back👍🏻 Thanks for the tour ❤
Your videos help to give me courage to go outside, thanks for posting.
Wow! you are in my city 🌃 I’m glad you all had a wonderful time.
I used to work at a cafe there at pier39 & a jewelry store on the 2nd floor just a few months ago for the past 3 years. Im so glad to see they are reopening some places :)! unfortunately the places I worked aren’t there hahhhhha. Cup & cake cafe , the fudgery, stone flower hhah
Welcome to my city Bill and Lisa!! When everything reopens again, y’all should really check out the museum of ice cream! I’ve mentioned it before but I highly recommend it because that place is EVERYTHING!! Lol.
We saw it on the map! Next time!
I was there in pier 39 san Francisco last august. Its beautiful.a little bit cold
Lookie lookie! You up to 16 thousand!!!!!! Stay safe. I think seals know no people, no handouts.
Was there three years ago thank you for the Memories...
Wow 😳, that is eerie. Last time we were there, the ferry building was packed inside and out. Must feel odd walking around...
Bill! Talk Lisa into going back to Vegas please.
Great video! You two are awesome. This video helped me relax.
For my liking I would probably go for Boudin, just because it's less creamy and I like to dip the bread without the chowder being too creamy, only downside its less clams.
Another fun day for you both! Thanks Bill n Lisa ☆☆☆
Thanks for the tour of SF. I get to travel through your videos. Take care.
The buildings are soo nice. That’s on my bucket list. Watching from Texas and we are pretty much closed. The food looks fab.
Go to Bob's doughnuts on Polk St and get an apple fritter 😋 There's a raw seafood bar next to Bob's that is good too!
Thanks for the recommendation, Tamara!
thats no lie. Tamara's right!
nice to have the airport all to yourselves
so much bread tho.. my weakness.
I want those cookies
coffee would go good with that.
So sad to see San Francisco so empty but the two of you made it a positive and fun day trip. Guess the sea lions are social distancing too. 🤣 Thank you Bill and Lisa and stay safe. One more thing:
CONGRATULATIONS ON REACHING 16K SUBS!!!
Thank you, Yvonne! Been a little over a year since we last visited SF. Knowing things are different now, it was still nice to once again visit SF.
WOW, that airport is empty! SF doesn't look like anywhere I'd want to visit anytime soon... Thx for the vid, guys(= (PS: Vegas next week?)
So weird to see San Fran like that, sad. Hope things pick up soon. It was still a great video guys. Love how you travel so often, very cool.🙋♀️
Have you ever been to Monterey? An array of amazing seafood restaurants line the Wharf waiting to serve samples of there Clam Chowder as you walk by. It’s incredible for Chowder Lovers! 🤤
Not yet. Hope to one day, also Napa Valley not too far away.
There are a few bakery and dim sum places on Stockton Street in Chinatown, very reasonable prices and of course it's to go only.
We didn't get to explore Chinatown too much, time got close to heading back to the airport.
Thank goodness you got what I consider propah chowdah. I grew up in New England and that red stuff is just soup to me. 😋😋
Hey.Bill and Lisa, this’s my first time video in ur channel and I like it . You Guys lovely couple and i like ur show a lot. B&L I just want to say thank you so much for showed me pier 39 China town I mean since The pandemic lockdown I never been my fav spot pier 39 & Chinatown so again thx for showed me around and it looks ghost town nothing to see but I hope u coming back one day & we’re going to eat chowder together lol I’m a New subscriber keep it up a good work stay safe.

Thanks for subscribing, Dawit!
SF doing a great job at minimizing the spread of Covid, Im not surprised why, the best Clam chowder is Pikes Place Chowder in Seattle, the 2nd best is Market Street Grill in SLC!
I could’ve given you bart tickets. There are a lot of places still open in SF away from the tourist areas.
Next time you come to SF Chinatown, check out a great dim sum place name Good Mong Kok. It is located on Stockton St and is so good that there is always a line.

Bookmarked! Thanks for the recommendation, Sally!
you guys are so adorable 😍
wow even the seals are gone:( was there and saw so many of them even on the back of people's boats lounging around. possibly social distancing too. :(
Hello again. It's ok. Maybe next time there will be more visitors. By the way, the clam chowder looks delicious. Take care.
Hey! Welcome to my City!
Thanks! 😃
NorCal has been on alot more lockdown than Socal since cv started
So hooked on your videos thank you for sharing, can you guys do a video where you explain what you did before the food travel videos and how you got started maybe also tell us which is your favorite food destination. Thank you!
Check out our last couple Q&A vids. 👍🏼
SF native here! New subscriber! Love the content and how happy you two look vlogging!
Have you guys tried Trish's mini donuts when you guys visited previously?
The mini donuts on Pier 39? Thinking we had them a while back. Might have to try them again next time we’re there.
Bill & Lisa,
San Francisco is still alive and kicking.
Mayor Breed and our health director Dr. Colfax are very careful about opening up retail areas where groups of people gather.
That's why San Francisco is doing well during COVID19. Merchants are being smart and open when most people go out to shop (end of the week and weekends depending on location).
Next trip: I recommend you visit the Westside neighborhoods.
Visit Clement Street in the Inner Richmond (dim sum shops! a variety of Asian foods!)
Or the 9th Avenue & Irving Street area of the Inner Sunset neighborhood (multi-cultural).
In Chinatown, Stockton Street is where locals shop for food.
For take out dim sum: try Good Mong Kok Bakery (super popular!); for egg tarts: if Golden Gate Bakery isn't open, try AA Bakery & Cafe. Both of these shops are on Stockton Street.
I enjoy your videos. Thanks for showing cool places to go. Please do come up North and visit the City again sometime soon.
Thanks for the updates and recommendations, Joanna!
What a terrible shame everywhere is still closed. At least you had fun together. X
Love ❤️ watching your channel!
Great video just sad to see many stores closed in SF Chinatown including the bakery with those amazing egg tarts
My fave' Blue Bottle 1:15! I wish Boudin Bakery would sell giant bags of just the sourdough insides, no crusts, like the Seinfeld Muffin Top episode. That is the quietest airport footage I've ever seen! How full was your plane?
Less than half capacity.
OMG it's so empty. Kinda sad to see everything so dead.
Woohooo!!!! My city! Too bad I didn't run into you guys! Unfortunately a lot of the tourist areas are closed here due to.... Hope you all had fun!
We had a fun day, thanks Maya!
Best way to start off the day with a Bill and Lisa vlog! Aww unfortunate that the city is so empty but at least you made the best of it like y'all always do and got some sight seeing in! Yumm and atleast you got to eat some norcal clam chowder from Boudin! Ugh it's unfortunate none of the dim sum spots were open that was hands down my favorite thing to eat when I was in SF it was great
Yes, we missed the dim sum and egg tarts from that one bakery. Things will eventually go on the upswing, and when they do, we'll be back! =)
Bill & Lisa's food and travel vlog so you are aware of that bakery lol I think we talking about the same one it’s sooo good 😋 oh well there’s always next time 🤷🏻♂️
Your videos make me so happy 😁
Next time try Lung Fung Bakery on Clement near 21st Ave for egg tarts as good as Golden Gate for less. Then Ariscault for the absolute best croissants and kouign ammans, chocolate croissants, almond and chocolate croissants. Yum. Btw, loving your vlog!
Thanks for the tip!
Keep doing y’all’s stuff guys
Hi guys..we we're just there yesterday...I really missed those places
You guys always make me giggle. My friends call you babe and baby. They follow your channel too. We always get good ideas for our meetup group from you of places to go out to eat in the Vegas area. Hopefully we will be getting out to dinner soon. The chowder looked delicious.
LOL Chris! Thanks everyone for watching!
awesome adventure. i miss San Franciso
Gypsy’s Trattoria Italiana in Berkeley, CA has amazing pasta
Nice video. Next time, skip the clam chowder (creamy clam chowder in a NorthEast thing, not a SF thing) and have something that's really San Franciscan and that's Cioppino, especially in the winter time when it's dungeness crab season. Goes great with SF sourdough bread.
Aw sucks Phil’z is closed. Love their mint mojito iced coffee!!!💕
Yes! That’s what I’ve would’ve ordered. lol
same in Boston. Tourist area, museum are still close. Nothing to do but walking, As long as it goes well, we should be near phase 3, crossing finger.
Thanks for the Boston update, Tes. We really enjoyed our trip to Boston last year.
I go to golden boy when i can pull over somewhere which is almost never if not go around the corner to Tony's slice house the best slice i have found in s.f.
Good to know about Tony's! Thanks Jaime!
Good to see you guys again
If only you went on Stockton street between Washington and Jackson Street. 2 bakeries and dim sum to-go. As well as dragon fruit and mangoes. SF is still on SIP.
We love clam chowder !!! Awesome video as always!!
Dude brought memories we walked from Grant square to the Pier--OMG Lol I probably couldn't do it now (have fun)
SF is hilly for sure! LOL
Lol golden gate is closed often....I live in the bay and you just never know when their open unfortunately.....this is in general...not bc of covid ☹️ I've been trying to get some from golden gate for a long time now lol haven't had any luck...sucks...Oakland and sf we haven't opened much yet....we have to go to other cities if we want to go eat etc enjoy the warm weather!! Well warm for us NorCal folks lol
That's what we read on Yelp about Golden Gate Bakery, but this time the front was boarded up. Not sure if they go through the hassle of taking down and putting up the plywood barrier each time they open. It was sunny, high of 71, felt great!
Wow, I was there a year ago, wow Wow🙀
