Back from New York on Friday and just in time for a gorgeous San Francisco weekend. Nicki has a great overview of our adventures, including the details of how I used my feminine wiles (well, actually I was just enthusiastic) to get us a private tour of the very masculine 21 club's prohibition-era wine cellar here. The history in that place. Let me tell you, it gave me the chills!
In addition to the usual haunts, we fortuitously stumbled upon the Neue Gallery,
a museum for German and Austrian art housed in a 1914 Carrere &
Hastings mansion. The permanent collection features work by Klimt and
Egon Schiele and the current special exhibition is Paul Klee.
Afterward, we sipped Viennese hot chocolate in the elegant Café
Sabarsky on the gallery's ground floor.
Still it's good to be back in San Francisco--I only wish we had a St. Helen Cafe here.
