Good Taste! My new informal dining club  "Eating Out" was my first thought for the name, but I thought that might be a bit too much of a savory/unsavory double entendre. I am relatively new to the Bay Area but this is my new permanent home. I work as a concierge/front desk agent at a cool historic hotel in downtown, very close to Union Square, the gate to Chinatown, etc. There are so many fabulous restaurants here and I love cuisine, wine, etc., and would like to dine out more so I can speak with firsthand knowledge to my guests and recommend restaurants. But being new I haven't developed a big group of friends yet, and dining alone is just not as fun. So I thought I'd see if some others wanted to get together, maybe twice a month or so, and dine at a different restaurant each time. I thought of posting this to this group since the Mission is known for its superabundance of amazing eateries. I can make reservations for us using Open Table or Restaurant Row, as is my wont. I like all types of food, honestly I don't think there's a single type of cuisine where I haven't found a single dish I can get with (I love sushi and sashimi, love Italian and classical French cooking, Mexican/Cuban/Salvadoran, LOVE German food and beer, etc). I guess I don't really want to impose any restrictions as far as selecting the kind of people I'd like to dine with - I'm just thinking a very informal and casual thing where we get to eat some great food and meet some new people at the same time. I can do anything from a dive bar to a five-star, cloth-napking-and-sommelier type joint; I can dress up and I can dress down. My profile and list of interests will of course give you a sense of who I am. I'm really looking forward to getting to know this amazing city better. I live in Oakland but commute to downtown SF daily by BART for work (and am looking to move into SF proper soon, especially after being mugged/assaulted near my house the other night). We've planned our first meet-up/group dining experience for Monday 11/23 at 8pm; inquire within for details. LET'S EAT!You can view the Google Groups page I've started for us here.Thank you for your supportglam aka Tony (Comment on this) |

Room Available in a Great Queer Mission Apartment! A repost from my gf and two friends. It's a great apartment... hardwood floors, Victorian, big kitchen, lots of natural light, LARGE bedroom, close to public transportation and a park, great people!+++++We are 3 fabulous queers/dykes in our late-20s to mid-30s looking for another queer/genderqueer/trans person for our flat in the Mission District. We are 1/3 cheesemonger, 1/3 public school teacher, and 1/3 computer programmer. We like each other and we want our next roommate to be someone we like (and who likes us too). Of course, we do have lives outside of the apartment and hope you do too.We are looking for someone who is responsible and employed but also fun-loving (and did we mention queer?). You don't have to have everything figured out, but you should have something that you are excited about. You should be respectful and reasonably quiet (complete silence not necessary). We like to hang out and laugh, but this isn't a party house (smoke-free). You are neat but not a neat freak, and are willing to do chores on a rotating schedule. We are interested in creating a more communal household, sharing some food and meals (CSA?); it would be great if you were into that too.The room available is large (12 x 15) and has two windows, and a nice-sized closet. There's also a comfortable living room with a built-in bookcase, a kitchen (primarily vegetarian) with a dishwasher and your own shelf, a (very) small outdoor area with room for plants, and some storage. The apartment has a washer/dryer and room for you to store your bike.We have two beautiful cats. Unfortunately our landlord won't let us have any more, so you should love cats, but not have any of your own.The room is available Dec. 1. Rent is $800.
