Does anyone know why there is loud dance music blazing in the area this morning? Is it coming from GG Park?

Hi! So several year ago I was drinking in city and went to hotel with people to party, and I camt find that hotel since, it was the best!

All I remember is that it was in SF and in was very niche and rock themed (like 80s bourbon red rocknroll), and room had fully stocked bar with full size bottles .

Not like mini bar, but type of setup you see in legit bar.

Hope someone can help me, cause I wanna stay there again

got a good deal on some plant cuttings and bought 3, theyre in a rudimentary pot and some soil. But how do i get/buy more soil for them, planters and pots? i guess i can buy pots of amazon or something but i have no idea where to get soil from. i live in hayes valley.

I will be in San Fransisco the week before Thanksgiving for a conference. Visiting from North Dakota. Would love to get out early in the AM with any run groups. Any suggestions?

Hi everyone!

Apologies I’m not well versed in reddit posting, and I believe my last post was considered too broad.

I’m a recent(ish) grad, new in SF for my job. Little scared of the internet so I’m limiting my search to female friends in SF (Im in my early 20s so I was also looking around that age). I love cooking, baking, watching movies, writing, but am also down to explore any other hobbies. I know there are multiple threads like this here but thought I was getting lost in the mix a bit so decided to make my own post.

I do get caught late at work many days so it’s been harder to make friends but even if someone wants to talk just here, it’ll be great.

Thank you!

I’ve been curious about the underground techno scene in SF and was wondering if there are any spots that give off Berlin vibes, like Berghain or KitKat Club.

I’m talking dark rooms, industrial techno, a more alternative crowd, and places that feel a little less mainstream. Also curious if there are any events with a more experimental, sex-positive or fetish vibe, even if they’re occasional parties rather than actual clubs.

I feel like there has to be a scene for this in SF, but I don’t really know where to start lol. Any recommendations for venues, promoters, or events I should keep an eye on? And if you’ve actually been, I’d love to hear what the vibe is like.

I usually jog along JFK and plan on doing so today, but just learned there is a (paid) Diplo Fun Run / Concert after. Am I allowed to just run with them or is it closed to bib wearers?

How do you break into the SF tech job market?

My husband has been job hunting in SF for over a year now with almost no traction.

He has a master's in engineering from a T10 US university, plus some tech experience (5 years) and is targeting marketing tech (preferably PMM) roles. He's tailored his CV to many roles, and after thousands of applications he's had hundreds of responses and at this point probably 30+ final interviews, which ended in rejections.

What works in the SF market? Any advice on how to beat it would be appreciated. We can't afford for him to stay unemployed.

I've been pointed in the direction of this sub as it seems most suitable for it:

I will be spending 10 days in San Francisco in March, and wanted to get some tips and tricks from people more familiar with the city.

I'll have 5 days where I won't really be doing any of the typical tourist activities as such as my partner has an event to go to, so the typical sight-seeing things will have to wait until we can do them together.

I've had a look at maps and planning, and have got it fairly sussed in terms of public transport, so don't have any real issues with getting where I need to go.

The hotel is in the Columbus Avenue/Bay Street area (Fisherman's Wharf). I'm planning to spend those days walking around and exploring, and I'm more than happy to spend 5 or 6 hours walking so distance isn't really an issue.

What sort of things can I expect, and are there any areas that I shouldn't be too keen to go walking through? Is it easy enough to hire a bike somewhere and would you recommend cycling in the city? Are there good bike lanes that are segregated from main roads?

Looking forward to exploring, but wanted to try and get a feel for it first!

Hi! I recently signed a lease for a place near 14th and Valencia st (Woodward st). How is the street parking there? is it worth attempting or should I start looking for a nearby garage. Was hoping not to pay more than $400 a month 😭

Need post office box short term not pricey.

Hi everyone,

I’m French and planning a trip this December. I’ll be spending a few days visiting SF, and then I want to rent a car to drive up through Northern California all the way to Portland.

Since I’ve never driven in Oregon or rented a car in the US before, I’d really prefer an AWD SUV for peace of mind, given the potential winter weather and snow.

The issue: when looking at rental websites, there’s no specific "AWD" filter. I can only select things like "Toyota RAV4 or similar" or "Mazda CX50 or similar," which feels like a coin toss regarding the drivetrain.

For those who frequently rent from SFO: are most SUVs there generally equipped with AWD? Are there any specific tips, rental companies, or workarounds to guarantee (or highly increase the chances of getting) an AWD vehicle?

Thanks so much in advance for your help! :)

Edit (to provide more information) :
I'm going to take a one-way trip
The part of my trip where I'll need a car lasts 4 days, and I mentioned SFO only because I'm not familiar with the city of San Francisco but I can go to rental agencies elsewhere in the city.

I haven’t finalized my itinerary 100% yet, but I’d like to stop by Crater Lake, for example (I'd like to do more than just Oregon Coast). I’ve read that in some cases, snow chains aren’t required if you have an AWD vehicle with all-season tires.

I think these are an abomination, but someone asked me to find them rye bagels in the city.

I've searched the menu of almost every bagel shop in the city, and I can't find even one.

It’s been over a year since anyone posted karaoke bar suggestions so I’m looking for current recs.

I am a huge karaoke fan and used to go to Encore on California St before it closed. The past few years I have been going to Dimples but drinks are expensive, the co-owners are rude, and you have to pay to sing.

Besides The Mint and Dimples, what are go-to karaoke bars in the city?

Kinder Schoko Bons White

I’ve had it before and I’ve been looking for a place to buy it here in SF. Milk chocolate one is good too.

It hurts my heart to lose them (12 more days left if you're so inclined), since Mama Ji's is closing soon, I am on the hunt for another wonderful Sichuan restaurant! What are people's favorites in the city?

Looking for one close to pac heights but willing to travel. Also looking to meet people.

two questions!

are there any INDOOR tennis classes near mission bay for beginner/intermediate level?

and what is the best way to book tennis lessons on courts near mission bay? (also for beg/int levels)

thank you! 🎾
