| Lunch at Des Amis |
Dropped the Mini off at the dealer for servicing this morning and walked over to the wharfs. On the way, we passed Des Amis, one of the neatest bistros I've seen outside of Paris. So, we couldn't resist enjoying lunch there:
- Butter lettuce salad w/dijon tarragon vinaigrette
- Moules Marinieres
- Frites with homemade mayo & katsup
- Brie omelette with fine herbs
- A Pichet of rose
We explored the waterfront between piers 39 and 47 including Ghiradelli Square where we may have had some ice cream. We stumbled upon the Musee Mecanique, which housed hundreds of historic coin operated arcade machines. This was an incredible collection of treasures that visitors could still use. I stuck a quarter in the fortune tellers machine and she said that November was my lucky month and that if I'm starting a new venture that I should do it in November...AND that I have a fine taste in clothes!!! (ha ha ha ha ha)
Because the Italians really held the market on seafood (both fishing for it, cooking it and selling it), we had to try Cioppino before leaving the city. So, we tried the classic wharf-side 1950's throw back, Scoma's. Rick ordered the Cioppina and was served a bucket of the stuff, enough that could have fed a family of four. He happily trudged through half of it though with a little help from some sourdough bread. De-Lish!
