During your San Francisco vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Thanya & Salee
The restaurant's full service bar, The Lilo Lounge, was voted best Tiki lounge by Metropolitan magazine. Unlike other so-called full service bars, the Lilo Lounge is not shy about whipping out the blender to make you a tropical drink. In fact, it is the bar's specialty. Once in a while a featured DJ spins records. The dining room is a tad more elegant but sticks with the restaurant's whole tropical Thai theme. The restaurant specializes in Thai fusion. The menu is illed with curry, noodles, beef, pork, seafood, poultry and vegetarian dishes. House specialties include roasted Peking duck with lime leaves, cilantro, onions and chilies served in a pineapple boat, Grilled Portabello Mushrooms Marinated in Garlic and Pepper, and delicious Pad Thai noodles.
Globe
Hit this place for a midnight snack or a full dinner. It is a favorite with socialites and chefs because it serves until the wee hours (1am most nights.) There is a good assortment of raw shellfish for starters, sample oysters or clams on the half shell. There are plenty of satisfying entrees: choose from rotisserie chicken, grilled fish, or a number of other simple yet tasty main courses. The service is terrific.
Altena Taqueria
Mexican posters and do-dads decorate the walls and the furniture looks like it came from a rummage sale. The food, though, is first rate. It is flavorful, cooked to perfection and available early in the morning or late at night. Burritos, bursting with chicken, beef or veggies, come in a size that could easily feed two. The enormous shrimp cocktails are spiked with lime and spicy salsa. The rest of the menu, which includes enchiladas, rice plates and tacos, is equally good. The service is quick and friendly. Note: Cash only.
Make your reservations for discount hotel rooms in the
San Francisco area, including:
Westin St. Francis
The explosion of color that meets your eye upon entering this store is only the first remarkable thing about it. Two kinds of art are on display: ceramics and jewelry. The ceramics are brightly painted psychedelic representations of animals or people. They are unusual, often eerie, but always beautiful. Some gold and sterling silver jewelry is available. Goddess figures and celestial symbols are two other oft-seen motifs.
Vagabond Inn
This sleek, green-trimmed motel blends in with the apartment buildings that surround. Located on the border of Russian Hill and Pacific Heights, it is just steps away from Union Street's hip and chic shops as well as a wonderful selection of restaurants that will suit every palate and every price range; from the haute cuisine Vietnamese-style of The Golden Turtle to the Bohemian funkiness of Notes from the Underground Cafe. There is easy access via public transit to Fisherman's Wharf, North Beach, Chinatown and the Financial District. The motel features excellent service from an attentive and friendly staff plus such amenities as a heated pool, perfect for a dip on the usually chilly San Francisco days. The rooms are comfortable and though the decor is fairly nondescript, they are well maintained and there are huge windows, some with dynamite views of The City.
Vagabond Inn - Hayward
The ground may be uncertain in this part of California, but the excellent service found at this hotel is not. You'll find comfortable rooms that may not be the height of the decorator's art, but which are well maintained and attractive. The staff here will go out of its way to make sure that your stay is a pleasant one whether you are traveling for business or pleasure or just to have a look at the faultline up close and personal.
