Saturday I joined my friends Carla and Jen in a walk for wine. Well, really, it wasn't a walk FOR wine, it was a walk which would be followed by a stop for wine.
We met downtown San Francisco to join the SF City Walks for a walking tour through San Francisco's open spaces. The tour lasted about 2 hours and gave some interesting insight into some of SF's history. We also discovered some great secret spots where we could hide out during our lunch hour while catching some rays (as infrequent as they may be in the city). Our favorite spot was at 552 Montgomery Street on the 15th floor. Lots of sun and beautiful views!
By 3 pm we were ready to head over to South just in time for happy hour. South is a cute little restaurant by the train depot, just beyond the ballpark. South is the first uniquely down under restaurant in San Francisco. The restaurant is run by two Aussies and a Kiwi.
The happy hour deals were great - they had 2 wines for $6 a glass and 2 Aussie beers for $5 and a list of apps at $5 each. Although I had intended on drinking wine, I decided to have beer instead. I had recently been to Australia and recognized the James Boags beer they were serving (the other beer is Fosters, which they did not serve in Oz, except in tourist traps - South must have been trying to appeal to people who have never traveled to Oz and think Fosters is the true Aussie beer). We also ordered a few bar bites. We had the Double Creme Cheese with lavosh, the king fish sashimi, and the chunky chips. All delish, no complaints from any of us!
It was a great day out walking and wining (or beer-ing) and I look forward to doing it again soon!
