My boyfriend is visiting me in Berkeley for the first time and we’re looking for a getaway for our anniversary. Open to glamping/RVs/ tucked away airbnbs midst of nature. We wanted to hit a national park but believe it would be too cold for amateurs? Suggestion please! 2-3 hours away from SF.

Are there any places that sell VHS tapes?

I know amoeba has a good section, but I’m also thinking about spots that may have at home broadcast recordings, or foreign content.

We are going to San Francisco in a few months. This restaurant was recommended - what do you think? Is it worth going to?

Lovely home-garage coffee store in SF: Bird & Bear Coffee Company ☕️ Coffee meetup on MLK Monday?

My friend and I are visiting SF from OC. We found this adorable garage cafe in SF! It’s Bird & Bear Coffee Company, named after the founder’s twin kids.

When I’m in town, I occasionally host small coffee gatherings. After having a wonderful chat with the owner, we thought it would be fun to try it here in SF Bay Area as well.

On MLK Monday 1/20, we are going to meet Bird & Bear’s coffee roastery in Oakland. Since they operate their store based off of their home garage, we decided to move to their roasting facility where they have more space available.

  • When: MLK Monday 1/20, 11:00 am - 12:30 pm
  • Where: Bird & Bear Coffee Company Roastery in Oakland
  • $50 per person

It’s going to be 1.5 hr long coffee gathering that includes —

  • Private coffee roastery tour and guided coffee cupping experience
  • Led by Dan, co-founder of Bird & Bear Coffee Company

👇 More details available in the RSVP link in the comment thread

Hope to see you there!

Weareprime.club???

Has anyone attended one of these private house parties? Their Instagram promises an “entrance into a secret world of exquisite pleasures and unforgettable delights” at a local house party on 1/25. But I can’t find much online about them. Anyone have any experience with Prime Club (and no, I don’t mean Amazon :)

Twist SF or PowerPoint Exchange

I get that Twist is a swingers club or bar (been to Colette, New Orleans & Whispers in Vegas most recently), but what goes on at a Sex Club (Power Exchange) that's different? Are they both BYO alcohol? What's the vibe in either? Anything else you'd like to share/advise on? Thanks in advance

Most underrated neighbourhood in San Francisco?

Travelling to SF in April. Looking online it looks like they only recommend the most expensive areas for accommodation and visits. However as a big city person myself, I know there are always calm and nice neighbourhoods that tourists never get to hear about!

Bathroom Hack: The ~50 SFFD's throughout the city have free bathroom access

Since SFFD is a public service, you can access the bathrooms in the building by ringing the buzzer and requesting it. Their official stance is that the bathrooms are open 9am-6pm daily. If you're nice & respectful and really gotta go, they'd probably let you in outside those hours too.

I'd caveat this by saying you should only do this if you really need a bathroom and there are no other options. If the fire department is called while you're pooping, you will need to leave immediately or they will forcefully take you out.

Here's a list of all the locations: https://sf-fire.org/fire-station-locations

I also map out bathrooms for SF, so you can find them (and 1000+ other bathrooms) here: https://bathroom.app
