u/Whole_Application_43

Moved to SF in 2010 from Portland, OR. I feel like a lot has changed the last 16 years.

What I miss:

Going to Dottie's True Blue for the first time
People going to work on Market St.
People partying in Mission and on Polk St.
SOMA felt very "startup-y"
Westfield
When Oasis Grill was good
Ruby Skye (when headliners were Armin, Tiesto, Ferry)
Elbo Room
Gordon Biersch on 2 Harrison
Out the Door in Ferry Building
Gracias Madre
Barneys New York
Going to Delfina was different back then
Dosa on Fillmore (and the Steph Curry cocktail drink was off the hook - anyone remembers this drink??)
Gen Gen Room (Liholiho Yacht Club's basement bar, it was a blast pre-Covid)
La Folie
Jardinière
The Grove on Hayes
Hong Kong Lounge II
Lee’s Deli
The Market (while expensive, they had good quality product)
Park Tavern
Plaj
West of Picos
Zero Zero
Vessel
Rove Kitchen (till date the best f* burger I've had in SF)
Smitten in Hayes
Absinthe before Covid
Safeway in Duboce before Covid
