Further impressions of San Francisco

Best Idea Ever
Take an old building, preferably a train station or ferry station, and then turn it into a Mecca/awesometown of food.
In SF it's called The Ferry Building
I spent a solid four hours there today, the first two were spent wandering around in a blissfull haze, occasionally giggling like a school girl and at other times skipping around. People were looking at me funny. What can I say? Food does this to me.
After finding a nice little wine store - which gave me the opportunity to get my feet back on the ground. I did a little tasting at their bar. Here it is:
Bastide du Claux Blanc, Cotes de Luberon 2005
Hans Lang Sabrina Riesling, Rheingau 2006
Domaine du Cabasse Sablet, Deux Anges, Cotes Du Rhone 2006
Chateaux du Caladroy, Cuvee des Schistes, Cotes du Roussillon Villages 2005

I then traipsed over to The Slanted Door. Holy south-east-asian-fusion-mindblowing-orgasmic-food Batman! Yes Robin, all our viewers should eat there at least once.
I had lemongrass pork vermicelli.

So basically today was consisted of a series of mindgasmes

Further Impressions:
1. There are more people here rockin' fixies than normal bikes.
2. I have yet to see a longboard.
3. You could spend a whole yeare here eating out 3 meals a day and you wouldn't repeat your dining experience
4. I have not yet seen an independant sit-down coffee shop where you could kill a whole afternoon.
5. There is no real coffee culture. For example, the only place where I can get a proper Americano is if I ask the smokin' hot Spanish girl who rocks the barrista at the coffee shop at the school. Everyone else makes them with long shots... Who does that?
