RNM Restaurant is a pleasant find in the Lower Haight Area. I was running errands and needed a martini, but this part of SF is more about pubs, pizza, BBQ, beads and the casual life. I walked by RNM twice, and didn’t realize it was a restaurant until I noticed the valet out front. I peeked in and was immediately greated by Robert, one of the nicest and friendliest hosts I’ve encountered in a loooong time. I was so impressed with every detail of this restaurant, I’ll definitely be going back very soon. The menu looked really interesting and prices were sane. It’s quirky only because it’s so out of place in this neighborhood. It feels like part of a hip/happening bar and restaurant you’d find in a Hotel W.
While I sipped my Boodles tini (Only $8!!! Don’t go on about the low price or they might raise it? ), I could hear Robert welcoming customers with an attitude that really says, “I care … and I love what I do”.
If you find yourself anywhere near the Castro, stroll over or take a quick cab ride. It’s a great find. Tell Robert Randy said HI!

Sara is the best. She’s located at 760 Market Street, Ste. 514, phone first: 415/956.6218.
She’ll do hems, repairs or fit a wedding dress. The best part is, she’s just a really nice woman who’s good at what she does and really understands customer service. Her shop isn’t fancy, but her work is great. She also does a lot of work for Bloomingdales, which is just down the street.
Tell her Randy said HI!

Just walking around SF can be pure entertainment. There’re always things to enjoy along the way; so always allow time to linger, explore, and take photos.
North Beach has a long history that’s worth looking into and fun to observe as you pass though. Cafe Trieste´ is where the Beat Movement started. City Lights is famous for the writers who got their start here. Then there’s Beach Blanket Babylon, the longest running “play” in San Francisco at 30 years and still going strong. I highly recommend this one-of-a-kind, zany musical extravaganza. It’s just plain silly fun that’s constantly changing. If you decide to go, PLAN AHEAD, it’s sold out w a y in advance.
The tall building is owned by Francis Ford Copala, who can be seen at his sidewalk table (corner of Columbus and Kearny) at his restaurant. If he’s not there, it’ll be the only table with no tablecloth. It’s the one all the way on the right-hand end.
