FREE Appetizers at Muguboka

Muguboka has everything I look for in a Korean restaurant. When I first picked up the menu, I was like, “Wait, why is this bibimbap $20?” Then, after I ordered it anyway, my waitress brought out a huge assortment of complimentary starters including kimchee, bean sprouts, anchovies, and literally at

Best Bakery in San Francisco: Schubert’s Bakery

A funny pattern has popped up in my life for the last couple of New Years. About a month into January, a lot of people I know get engaged. I’m not sure if this is because they’re getting knocked up in a holiday eggnog fog or if proposing when the

Poon Can Fix Anything

When I was in New York a few weeks ago, I stopped by a Soho boutique called In God We Trust and made what I consider to be my best jewelry purchase to date: a brass necklace that has “kiss me where I pee” inscribed in pretty little cursive on

Specialty’s WarmCookie Radar

Being an adult means that I no longer come home from school, tired and books in tow, to a warm plate of cookies baked by my loving mother cooling on the stove top. There is no one to pour me a glass of milk, pet my head, and tell me
