Day 3:

We spent most of Saturday morning lounging around the hotel room, just resting. For lunch, we went back to the Cove Café in the Castro. It was very busy, but the wait wasn’t bad. There were a number of woofy guys there!

After lunch, we went to the Civic Center to check out the smaller version of the pride festival that happens on the Saturday of Pride. We did a little shopping, and some ogling. Overall though, there wasn’t much happing, so we went back and lounged in the room for the rest of the afternoon.

(Gratuitous celebrity sighting: As we were entering the hotel, we saw Reichen
Lehmkuhl from The Amazing Race.)

We went up to John’s Grill on Ellis (near Union Square) for dinner. John’s Grill is a San Francisco landmark. It’s been in business since 1908. Dashiell Hammett was a regular there, and he made a favorite hangout for Sam Spade as well. The place reeks old San Francisco – dark wood paneling, turn of the century light fixtures, white tablecloths, Waiters in ties and those long white aprons tied at the waist. I had the Sam Spade – lamb chops, tomatoes and a baked potato. It was one of the best meals I’ve ever eaten. This place is a must visit if you are in the city!

After dinner, we strolled around nearby Union Square. A high fog was rolling in – obscuring the tops of the surrounding buildings and giving everything a magical glow. It made for a very romantic evening.
