Our fun guide!

Hi everyone,

So far here is what we have for our recommendations.  This is the first draft of our class project.  Our next step is to sort out our recommendations in terms of indoor/oudoor activities, as we had on the board today, please see how Mursel organized his entries.   Also, I would like for each person to write something brief about your recommendation, so that the recommendation is more personal, please see Vivian’s recommendation to get an idea of how I think you could personalize your message.

 Let’s work on this tomorrow! Denise

Irene recommends:

Bike riding from Fisherman’s Wharf to the Golden Gate Bridge.

To get to Fisherman’s Wharf take the MUNI bus F from Market Street, downtown.

At the Fisherman’s Wharf you can rent bicycles.

The cost is $25.00 for the whole day.

This trip is tiring, but so much fun!  Click Bike rentals in SF for information about where you can rent bicycles for this fun adventure:

R & G Lounge near Chinatown in San Francisco, the address is:

631 Kearny Street, SF, phone is (415) 982-7877.  This restaurant is always crowded, so make a reservation.  They serve Chinese sea-food and the crab dish is one of their most famous delicacies.

Vivan recommends:

Café’ Leila on San Pablo Avenue.  They have great lunches or brunches.  They have delicious sandwiches and salads.  There is a gorgeous back yard with a fountain, this is so delightful, especially on a sunny day – go there to enjoy a lazy afternoon, feel the breezes and enjoy the food which is also very reasonably priced.

I also recommend the Chicken Club sandwich and the Berkeley  sandwich as well as the wraps, however, I don’t really recommend breakfast here because it was not that great and a bit expensive.

Sea Salt is a  high-end restaurant on San Pablo Avenue, and I recommend going there during happy hour.  You can order very fresh oysters here and they are very reasonably priced.  Cocktails are great here, if you don’t know about cocktails, don’t worry about it, because the waiters will fill you in.  Customer service is fabulous, leave a good tip, I did!

Denise recommends food shopping at the Berkeley Bowl Market.  The food there is very well priced, fresh and delicious, the displays are beautiful and the customer service is good.  They also have a good line of body care products that are free of laurel sulfites and parabens.
