I’ve been in San Francisco for less than two weeks, and I’ve already found a job, a church, and taco happy hour. Hurrah!
Thus far, I like San Francisco a lot. I’m sharing an apartment with my friend K and two cats in the Mission Distict, which has nice weather and lots of taquerias. I’m within comfortable walking distance of my church in Potrero Hill. San Francisco reminds me a lot of St. Louis, albeit a much more expensive St. Louis, with much nicer weather.
It feels good to be here. Now I just need to find a neighborhood joint where I can chill and write. Here’s to my honored list of former hangout spots:
- Hungarian Pastry Shop & Sip in NYC
- Chava Cafe in Chicago
- Kayak’s in St. Louis
