Inspired by the book "Letter from New York" by Helene Hanff, this is a space to share the quotidian aspects of this unique city I’ve lived in for over a decade. It's meant to catalog my favorite "city living" stories, share travels near and far, and display photos of places I love.

San Francisco as Paris
There are times when I walk through San Francisco and I could swear I was in some other country on the other side of the globe. I can pretend that I'm on a bus in the hills of the Amalfi Coast of Italy, on a street in Shanghai, or even in the French Quarter of New Orleans. One of my favorite things to pretend is that I'm in Paris. It's very easy to do when picking up a walnut mini-baguette to eat with dinner from the Pine Street La Boulange (part of the San Francisco based French run Bay Bread Co) and walking past Saint Dominic's cathedral between Pine and Bush Streets at Pierce. Très bon!
