Ain't nothing Stupid about Bubba Gumps Shrimp!
Advantages: Fantastic Seafood, good service Disadvantages: Can be busy, and take time to get in!
...the bay! Bubba Gumps is a themed restaurant, based on the Forest Gump movie. Bubba was Forest's friend and the two of them planned on having their own Shrimp boat when they got out of Vietnam. This restuarant stretches the theme by pretending to be a restaurant thats part of the Bubba Gump empire. The restaurant's are decorated like fishing shacks, and they host a lot of memorabilia from the movie. To get attention for another drink or any thing ... ...from "Run Forest Run" to "Stop Forest Stop" and ANY waiter/waitress will help you if the Stop sign is showing. But back to reality. What's it really like? The food is predominately seafood, but you can get burgers, steak, ribs, etc too. Portions are large and prices are reasonable. Especially right now with the pound/dollar ratio. Of course Shrimp is the speciality and they have some amazing things to try. My absolute, number one favourite - Shrimpin' ...

Smints or altoids reccommended
Advantages: Garlic, tasty, drink lots Disadvantages: Bad breath
Definately not to everyones taste - one for garlic lovers. Every recipe made in this easily located restaurant in Little Italy, is heay with garlic. The butter is garlic butter, garlic olive oil. When there we had 40 clove garlic chicken, garlic and aubergines and more - with, you guessed it, garlic. I think they also had garlic ice cream for dessert. But we opted for coffee (of the normal variety).
Decent value for money, the wines will be the ...

Neighborhood bar, nice watering hole
Advantages: Great neighborhood bar, excellent food, tons of sports on TV, friendly bar staff Disadvantages: Gets crowded some nights, parking can be a pain
...get lost in the shuffle. Pat O'Shea's is definitely one that stands out in the minds of its loyal patrons.
O'Shea's is a a mixture of several different environments. One of the biggest clientele that O'Shea's draws from is students from the University of San Francisco. They're good kids for the most part, but you definitely have to be ready for a college party environment, generally on Thursday nights and occasionally on the weekend if something ... ...there's tons of sports on the tube, all 20 sets that they have. The owners of the bar are huge SF Giants fans, so there's a lot of baseball on during the season. They also have several bus trips to games that you can get tickets for. In the fall, football takes precedence, with some basketball and ice hockey mixed in.
O'Shea's is a great place with a wide selection of beers and honest drinks. 3 pool tables and a jukebox complement this neighborhood ...

Flippin' Swanky
Advantages: great atmosphere, interior design to die for, fantastic cocktails Disadvantages: the clientelle can be a bit...erm...pretentious
While there are loads of high class glitzy eateries and nite spots in San Francisco, nothing's closer to the word 'swank' than the Backflip. Part bar - part club - part restaurant (and actually tasty), this little beauty is nestled in the sometimes unsavory area of Tenderloin.
Modelled around an underwater, aquamarine theme, with a genuine pool adjacent to the dining room, the place somehow manages to not make blue depressing. With huge chairs, ... ...crotch, retro lighting fixtures and beautiful glass walls, one would think the mood would be perfect for the drink of your choice. Not that it isn't, but we found the crowds to look a little on the fancy-pants side. This, unfortunately, is expected sometimes in this city.
While the food I've had, Two Bite Burgers: special sauce, tomato, lettuce, fries, and pickle ($8), and something else I can't remember, was good, and the drinks are FANTASTIC, ...

My view on Kowloon, Hong Kong
Advantages: all you want in one place Disadvantages: the humid hot weather in crowded streets
...have a thick wallet, then Kowloon has many high class hotels to choose from. Hotels which will be situated at the heart of Kowloon some of which will have breath-taking views as you look out the window. However, those of you with a thinner wallet like myself, well don't fret, as I have stayed at the Metropole Hotel, and I managed to get a packaged holiday - this tends to let you experience the joy of living in a top class hotel without breaking your ... ...literally applies to you in Kowloon if your are a shopper! Kowloon has many designer labels boutiques, and the service that comes along with the boutiques is first class. However, if you are like myself can only look and not purchase because my bank balance will probably fall out with me, then they are plenty of other shops to shop in. The fashion is up to date with affordable prices. Also, those of you who would like to purchase designer labes, ...
