Finding a decent coffee shop nearby?
So, I'm stuck at Robert Black Health Centre, waiting for my aunt. The place is, well, a hospital, you know? Sterile, the smell of antiseptic hangs heavy in the air. My aunt's been here for hours, a… more
Try looking around Happy Valley. There are usually a few decent cafes tucked away near the racecourse. It’s a bit of a walk, but it's probably better than whatever Google Maps is throwing at you. Failing that, head towards Causeway Bay; more options there, though it might be a bit busier. Good luck with your aunt's surgery!
Thanks! Happy Valley sounds lovely, I hadn't thought of that. Causeway Bay is usually a madhouse, so Happy Valley might be a better bet. Appreciate the tip! And thanks for the well wishes for my aunt, it means a lot.
Union Square's Vibe?
So I'm heading to Union Square in a few weeks, it's for a business trip, but I'm hoping to sneak in some sightseeing. I've heard it's super busy, almost overwhelming. My question is, what's the best… more
Union Square's a beast, yeah. Super busy, especially during the day. To get a feel for the actual vibe, ditch the main square itself after dark and head towards North Beach. It's a short walk, but feels like a different world. Lots of smaller, independent bars and restaurants there, less of the corporate sheen. Wander down Grant Avenue – that's where you'll find more of the local hangouts. Maybe grab a drink at a hole-in-the-wall bar – just look for places that aren't screaming for your attention. The energy is way different than the main square, much more chill. It's not exactly "secret," but it's definitely less frenetic.
That's awesome advice! I was picturing something way more touristy. North Beach sounds perfect – way more my speed. Thanks for the tip on Grant Avenue too, I'll definitely check out some of those less flashy spots. Sounds like a much better way to experience the real San Francisco vibe.
