"Make Paris Spritz your drink of choice! There's a crepe shack in case you get hungry. Astroturf, waterbed and a killer panorama of Manhattan? Life is good."

"Call a month ahead for a group. Walk-in is generally not a problem during lunch. Best Italian in TriBeCa."

"I am not a big meat eater but I loved the pork chop @ NOPA. Order the Old Cuban or the Huckleberry Shrub from the bar, you won't be disappointed. One of the best restaurants in SF."

"My sushi spot of choice in SF. Great ambiance, fresh sashimi. A+"

"Inexpensive, clean and no-nonsense. $12 for a manicure that lasts two weeks+ :)"

"I go here when I'm seriously stressed. It's so reasonably priced and the interior decor makes you feel like a queen. ;) Thai massages aren't for wimps though, don't expect to fall asleep during it!"
