Bay Area | August, 2024

August! Started with a visit from Alice, who was in town from LA. We ate allll the pastas at Cotogna.

Then, drinks and snacks at Moongate Lounge.

Walkabouts in Chinatown

Quarterly standing date at the House of Prime Rib! The Chronicle keeps talking about how hard it is to get into this place, but we have our ways. :)

Love the iconic red takeaway bags and the old-school printed photo. Afterwards, we ran into Vivian at a bar down the street!

Industry event at Cassava. We love this beautiful restaurant in North Beach!

Last minute South Bay gathering!

More TAFers in town! Jeremy and Liz visiting for a friends’ reunion.

The 2014 Giants team reunion.

Sushi date night at one of our favorites! Chisai, a cozy little neighborhood omakase spot.

Followed by drinks at our favorite Taiwanese bar-restaurant, The Rabbit Hole.

Dinner at Atwater Tavern with the Chins

Rocking the completed Giants quilt. And harvesting a whole lot of delicious grapes from my in-laws’ back yard.

Giant Race expo in the morning, Lunch at Saluhall, and an outfit change for an afternoon open house for the Golden State Valkyries.

The Golden State Valkyries are our new WNBA team coming to Chase Center under the same owners as the Golden State Warriors. Alex put down a deposit for season tickets even before they had a name, so we were invited to come visit Chase Center to tour all of the seats and suites inside. Everything was Valkyrie violet, very festive!

We even made friendship bracelets. And the next day, the Giant Race! Finishing on the field.

Then right after the race we went down to San Jose for the San Jose Giants Taiwan Day. And the next day we were off to New York for the rest of the month! Wild! More to come on all of that.
