We had dinner at Katana- Ya on Geary in Union Square. This place is a busy Japanese restaurant that can feel a bit crowded but this small spot has a cute and a homey feel. It's known for being a famous Ramen House in SF but since I'm always on the hunt for the best dragon roll, that was my order and I will definitely come back next time around to try the noodles. There can be a bit of a wait but I think it's worth it and so is the cold plum sake- I've never had sake chilled before and it's absolutely delicious!  The service is fast, the prices are very reasonable, and it's in a great location downtown that's open late so if you're in the area you should definitely check it out.


There are many clubs, bars and lounges nearby and we started off the night at Vessel, located at Campton Place between Stockton and Grant. We then swung by Slide adjacent to the famous Ruby Skye on Mason and ended our night at Harlot located on Minna where we had a blast. All venues have a nice, trendy, and hip vibe that played Hip Hop/Top 40/Mash ups. It was a fun fun night with the gals in the city and the color of the night seemed to be blue! :)

We had a late lunch at Fuzio, a universal bistro, located on Chestnut in the Marina district in San Francisco.

I really love this area and it's just as fun in the day as it is at night to stroll around this neighborhood filled with a ton of shops and restaurants.

I ordered the carrot-ginger soup and a tuna melt with a mixed green salad. This is an excellent meal if you're looking for a hearty soup that has a little kick to it and a panini style tuna melt that tastes extra fresh.

This city is a great destination that I can never get sick of and I always enjoy exploring new places to eat and sights to see. I love San Francisco and everything it has to offer. :)



boudin bakery, sf

Boudin Bakery is an original San Francisco Company, famous for it's Sourdough French Bread and clam chowder. Being SF's oldest running company, they continue to provide fresh quality food at affordable prices. I think I ate here everyday on my break from work and I highly recommend the "Best of Boudin's" and get a turkey avocado sandwich on a croissant with a side of spring salad- it's an excellent combination.

We went to the flagship location at the Wharf and this place is massive. 
Anyway,  thank you for your comments!  Aside from being a mom, I started my blog at my quarter life making 2009 a year to just take action! I've always had the love to travel and dine out and after being on a hiatus for 9 months I just wanted to continue my dreams of exploring the world and taste everything life has to offer! I review places I love, go to, and offer my experiences with you.


And after the numerous messages on myspace I get about where I got certain clothes or questions about places I went, I decided to showcase everything on a blog. I know most girls hate to say where they got something from, but sharing is caring!


And bc my closet is too small to hold all the contents of everything I consume,  I decided to sell stuff to my friends and I currently sell my clothes that I've loved on my eBay store.


So I'm like a Nikki Survey or what I like- Hello Nikki- in the pursuit of being able to travel then blog and be at home with Mav so it works out well. 


And giving back means such a big thing to me which is why building an awareness on cerain issues plays such a huge part in my blogging.


So thank you all for your inquisitiveness. I do have an amazing family, the best of friends and a beautiful life- I feel truly blessed and I thank God every chance that I get. 


 Always remember, life isn't about what happens to you it's about what you do that makes a difference. Glad you all are getting a kick. ;)  Cheers.
