Last night, I cam home from a four day trip to San Fransisco. Only being to San Fransisco once before, I didn't realize how exciting the city could get, but here's the thing: it's fantastic!
The city not only features Chinatown (totally norm) but it has the best of Japantown, Koreatown, etc, it even features an Italian based experience, Little Italy. Little Italy is known entirely for it's Italian styled gelatos, cool Italian fashion, and most of all, delicious Italian food.
Another entirely different thing this city offered was a major shopping experience. On my way to my hotel in Union Square, Parc55, I saw too many stores that set my fashion senses tingling.




Of course, my trip didn't last long enough for a major shopping extravaganza, but I did go to one small shop in the smaller, less visited area of San Fransisco. This store, creatively titled Wasteland, featured designer items (like L.A.M.B, Juicy Couture, etc.) for less (Think Juicy Couture velour baby blue hoodie for $15!). In one short hour, with help by my personal shopper, I bought six new sweaters for a total cost of $75.
San Fransisco also offers delicious food. Shalimar, a tiny Indian/Pakistani style restaurant was my daily lunch pick. It delivered home-style food in a friednly atmosphere. The windows boasted posters labeling Shalimar "The #1 San Fransiscan restaurant of the year in 2007". I know why! The ever popular, Rainforest Cafe was also a great pick, offering three stories of jungle cuisine and divine aventure. With vine covered ceilings and walls, a large two-story waterflall, and robotic animals in every direction, the atmosphere itself was a wonder.
However, my favorite eat in San Fransisco had to be a certain square near the sea side....Ghirardelli Square! The large square was crowded with people, couples, families, children, friends, everyone, in a rush to get a taste of the delicious chocolate. I, myself, had the luck to sip on a Chocolate thick shake, a Ghirardelli Square, best seller. The actual dessert cafe had two stories of chocolate lovers, a divine candy shop, and a section devoted to making pure chocolate before your eyes! Yumm!
