Foodie Friday

Happy Friday Friends!

While the rain has been coming down here in SF, the snow has been falling in Tahoe and I can not wait to hit the mountain this weekend! Phil and I are heading up to celebrate a friends birthday so the house is going to be packed – which means lots of eating, drinking, and general ridiculousness in addition to skiing! Before we go, I wanted to share this month’s Foodie Friday restaurant feature, Top of the Mark. You may recall Phil and I enjoyed a wonderful Valentine’s Day brunch there last weekend, and it was so good I had to share. While some locals may say this is a bit of a tourist thing, I would disagree – from the food, to the service, to the view, everything was wonderful! Top of the Mark is located on the top floor of the Mark Hopkins Intercontinental Hotel in Nob Hill and boasts unparalleled views of San Francisco. Phil and I took our time and coursed out our meal, sipping some delicious California sparkling and taking in the city scape…talk about relaxing.Especially since we moved to San Francisco we try to make our dining out experiences special…back home we went out to eat 5-6 times a month but with the higher cost of living out here, we’ve cut that back to about 1-2 a month. Since we don’t do it as much we try to go places we haven’t tried, make each experience unique, and use food as a way to get to know our new city a little better. If you’re an SF local or if you’re just visiting, you’ve got to check out brunch at Top of the Mark or even just pop into their bar – you won’t be disappointed!
