The Maiden Post

This blog is for all of you who have been asking us about our move to Cow Hollow, with questions about restaurants, and things to do. So, since we decided to chronicle our adventures (and mis-adventures), of course, I needed to start at the beginning...

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

Ok, seriously, we'll start back in March (yes, we're backdating), we visited a few apartments in a few different areas. Mr. Calamari (yes, we're keeping ourselves anonymous) was skeptical about the CH area, but, as we all know, the Mrs. can be very persuasive (plus she was doing all the apt-hunting). We walked around that evening, up and down Union St., and Mr. Calamari became very excited by all the restaurants, especially how most of them had brunch menus. We decided to be cheap and ate at Crepes-a-Go-Go. I don't remember much about the meal (it probably involved sharing a savory crepe for dinner & a sweet crepe for dessert), but it was decent, and the price is good.

Oh, and the clincher was that Union St. also has Mrs. Calamari's fav store - Lush. The best fresh bath & body & skin products you'll ever use, and the store itself, even when closed, smells so good!!

We quickly found an awesome apt in prime location, close to Union, Fillmore, and Chestnut Streets, with great views of the Palace of Fine Arts & the Golden Gate bridge. When there's no fog (yes, there have been a few days) we have beautiful sunsets from our living room window.
