    Ferry Building

    I think the place MP is talking about is Mistrale Rotisserie Provencale (under Cafes and Small Eateries).

    (Just my opinion, but the Market Bar was under-whelming the last time I went - not so great food (considering the local competition!) and kind of pricey.)
    Keep calm and carry on...

    Roving, progressive grazing lunch. A little of this and a little of that.

    Perhaps I should bring my Bob Jackson with the wicker basket on the front, a straw hat with flowers and ride through the market while dressed in my best frock. Lend a bit of class to the affair. You can commit me after I've sampled everything.

    Just set a time and place for everyone to gather after they've collected their goodies.

    Does anyone like caviar? (FishDr? Or is it to much like work? )

    The Tsar Nicolas has a fun sampler plate - 7 different kinds of American caviar for $18 (goes very well with a glass of J champagne!)

    OK - time to head home and see what leftovers are in the fridge for dinner ...
    Keep calm and carry on...

    I can scout, too. I work in the area, so I know lots of good lunch places. I just don't know what is open on Saturday!

    I'm undecided on the caviar. I've only had it once. And - ewwww, the thought of eating catfish eggs. Double Yick!

    Dachshund and Winddance - my office is 1 block from the Ferry Building - I'm up for a scouting trip ANY time!

    What are we going to do after we eat our way through the Ferry Building like a horde of locusts?

    Oh, and bring your string shopping bags - I think the Farmer's Market is Saturday also!

    Z - I think that's it, too. I vote for a group wander period and also everyone foraging and then eating together outside. The foraging and eating should probably occur first so we don't eat EVERY single truffle or gelato we come across int he group wander period.

    Good of Fish to remind us that we have loads of time to plan - we're all acting like it's happening tomorrow!

    I just found my stack of tourist literature I grabbed last time I stayed in a hotel in SF. So much to do! Let's all take a week off, and go play.

    Ferry boat rides
    Angel Island
    Wax Museum
    Asian Art Museum
    Zoo


    I could go on forever......

    Ooh, the Asian Art museum is really neat!

    There's always a ferry to Sausalito...
