Credo's Happy Hour Philosophy: Let's Start at 2:30!

I’ve been to Credo in the Financial District a total of exactly one time.  As a broke-ass, I’m not in the habit of spending half my monthly rent on a Wednesday night dinner, but I had gotten my hands on a Groupon for Credo, which I only bought because I

Borrow Lombardi Sports' Rooftop for Fleet Week!

Loud noises!  Sailors!  Gay guys in hot pants!  These fit right into a game I like to call “Halloween, Pride or Fleet Week?”  One look out the window should tell you (as if you don’t already know, you savvy San Franciscan, you) that it’s FLEET WEEK and you know what

Stuff Your Face With Cheap Buns From Lung Fung Bakery

My second apartment in the city was on 18th Avenue at Geary in an area I like to call “Central Richmond” (Google Maps tells me this is a real term in existence, but I’ve never heard anybody actually speak this in conversation). Anyway, there were a ton of cheap and
