Today is my last day along the Central California coast and the milage starts to add up REALLY quickly over the next few days. I’m hoping that all of you can help me figure out what to do, see, etc… over my next couple of stop. I thought about doing a poll, like I did for Boston, but realized that required me to come up with some of the options. This time I’m leaving it wide open and asking for you to write a comment with your suggestions.
1) Salt Lake City – I’m going to be free from mid/later afternoon until midnight (when I catch a red-eye back to the east coast) – Where should I eat dinner? What should I see?
2) Burlington, VT – I’m there for 6 hours on Friday (I’m there for 8, but figure I need to get out of the airport and then get back early) – Where should I eat lunch? What should I see/do?
3) Denver, CO – I am still in need of a ride from Denver to Boulder – no joy on Craigslist so far, but will keep trying!
4) San Francisco, CA – I’m there on Monday. There are some things up in the air that may come together and fill the schedule, but if not I need to know some good places to see/eat.
5) Las Vegas – Yes, I know, Vegas is Vegas, but I need a place to crash because I’m not staying at that airport.
That covers everything up until I get to Portland! Thank you so much for all of your help and support, you all have been amazing! Please continue to spread the word and grow the team!
i was just up in SF a couple weeks ago. a blog post w/pics i took. i recommend hiking up to the top of telegraph hill where coit tower is (in north beach). you get a great view from the bay bridge to the golden gate bridge from there.
for food options: you can’t go wrong stopping in any of the little hole-in-the-wall places in chinatown. i got a huge plate of 3 items for $4.50 at Gourmet Kitchen up Grant St.
if you have time to take the N Judah train from downtown to 9th and Irving, there’s a great little place called Park Chow near the Golden Gate Park. http://www.chowfoodbar.com it’s a mix of california cooking, italian and asian. really interesting combos.
there’s also volare in north beach on columbus. http://www.volarecafe.com fresh pasta made in-house. so delicious.
In SF, the best pork chop you’ll ever eat is at Nopa. Curt can back me up on this…
