Beast from the East (Bay)

Ira Serkes: Scones, baguettes, bialys and zampano are favorites

Jordan Silver: This is one of the best lookout points in the Bay Area. Ask the elevator operator what goes on/went on on all the floors you are passing...you might find it fascinating!

Mere: Love the curry. And the Thai iced tea. Make sure to exchange your real money for coins before ordering!

Tiffany Ng: Get the freshly squeezed blood orange juice whenever it's available

Xande Macedo: Here is how you are going to wait for your turn: in the mornings — get a coffee at The Cro and a donut at Doughnut Dolly and wait. Afternoons — if you are nice, you can have a shot of Bulleit and wait

David Valentin: Get the Pork belly. I keep meaning to try something else. Everytime I think I'll try something different the waitress comes by asks what I want and I say "I'll have the pork belly."

Xande Macedo: They brew Petaluma's Flying Goat Coffee. Great stuff.

Xande Macedo: The original man cave and purveyor of leather goods. All made in the US. Except for some Canadian salvage. It'll be hard for you to leave this shop without acquiring some of their merchandise.

Robin Andersen: Truly awesome letterpress shop for custom business cards, posters, whatever you can come with. They also sell hard-to-find pencils and paper.
