Friday afternoon, Jaime was feeling under the weather. I went to see a movie at the Metreon about mid-afternoon. I only movie set to start within the next 45 minutes was “Casanova”. This was certainly not my first choice. Turned out be a very funny movie.
Jaime had take out Clam Chowder again for dinner on Friday. I went across the street to Tad’s and had a grilled ham and cheese. It was very good.
Saturday morning, New Year’s Eve, and Jaime is feeling much better. The local and national news is full of the floods in the Napa and Russian river areas. We did have very high winds early Saturday morning. I almost blew away crossing the street to pick up coffee at 6:00 a.m. By 8:30 the wind was more calm and we took a cable car ride to Fisherman’s Wharf. No sooner than we reached the end of the line, the rain started again. We decided to make the return trip to the hotel.
Tad’s seemed like a good choice for breakfast. They had a great early bird special. We both had french toast, two eggs 4 pieces of sausage or bacon for only $5.79 each!
After resting at the hotel and watching the weather coverage and football on TV, it was time for lunch. We check the guide and it suggested that a supercheap special would be David’s Delicatessen. It was located on Geary near Taylor in the Theatre District. We found that I wasn’t that cheap, but it was good. We spent $12 for a lean hot corned beef with cheese. It came with slaw. Since we split it, it wasn’t a bad value. I also had a chocolate and coconut cookie to go!
We walked over to Union Square to enjoy the bright sunshine and warm temperatures. After spending maybe 45 minutes on the square, it was back to the room for more weather and football.
We decided to do dinner early. At 6:00 we went to Puccini & Pinetti. We had eaten here on the 26th and found it very good. Fortunately, we didn’t have to wait. We were seated near a window. We ordered a couple of glasses of Columbia Crest Merlot and a Pesto Pizza. Food and wine were delicious!
The night before, I discovered the large chocolate shake at Burger King. #32oz size only $2.09. Tonight, I settle for a 20oz medium.
We celebrated New Years a little early. Jaime had purchase four small individual sized champagne bottles. Since we didn’t plan on staying up until midnight to see the new year in, we had a toast at nine. We both went to sleep, but Jaime woke me about 11:30 and we celebrated again at midnight with a toast.
We got up Sunday morning about 6:00 a.m. I found all of the usual coffee shops closed. Jaime tried the coffee machine in the room and found it awful! Lucky for us, the shop across the street opened at 7 a.m.
