How To Build A Social Media Strategy: 5 Tips For Businesses Getting Started

We’re all experimenting. Even the bloggers and Facebook users who look like they know what they’re doing are just experimenting, so if you feel a little fumbly, remember that use of social media as a marketing tool is in its infancy. Don’t let anybody tell you there’s only one way to use Yelp or Pinterest. [ READ MORE ]

Where the Professionals Work: Caffé Bianco

This is a 5-star review 39 Sutter St San Francisco’s Financial District Sometimes I like to hang out in the Financial District, land of the diagonal crosswalk, women who pair their corporate drag with sneakers, and men who still smoke cigars. When I’m here, I like to get lunch and a little writing done at [ READ MORE ]

Elite Audio Coffee Bar Rocks

This is a 4-star review 893A Folsom St San Francisco’s SOMA district The service is top notch, and the concept literally rocks. Owner Michael Woods has a dream, and he’s making it happen in full surround sound right here on The Sexy Grammarian’s own block. The blue bottle coffee is strong and brewed one cup [ READ MORE ]

Mo’z Cafe: Canned Soup?

This is a 2-star review 36 5th St (near Market) San Francisco, CA 94103 The man at the front counter welcomes me with a “glad to have your business smile” even though he’s busy. The menu surprises me, and although I haven’t tasted the soup yet, I’m already lusting after the guy’s salad next to [ READ MORE ]

Atlas Cafe: Where The Beautiful People Come And Go

This is a 3-star review 3049 20th St at Alabama St San Francisco, CA 94110 This place has its drawbacks: wobbly tables and cheap chairs, chaotic customers with antsy kids and dogs, shoddy wifi, a shortage of electrical outlets, and Egads!—the music! I am trying to use my head—not bang it against the wall! But [ READ MORE ]

Double Bathiness: Write and Bathe in Windsor, CA

“This place is hard to shoot. It’s hard to show comfort and make it look good,” said The Wife. She knows her stuff, and so do owners Byron and Karen. They did not over-decorate the Italian Cottage, where we stayed. Instead, they splurged on really nice floors, exquisite bathing facilities, and a bed that made [ READ MORE ]

How To Write In A Café

I sit alone, looking chic, ankles crossed under the café table, elbows upon it. My pen rests at the uplifted tip of my chin while I think, smile to myself, and then pounce on my open journal to write something clever. Beside my journal sit my delicate cappuccino cup, my nibbled cookie, and perhaps a [ READ MORE ]

Cafe de la Presse

This is a 4-star review. 352 Grant Ave (at Bush St) San Francisco, CA 94108 I didn’t care for this place the first time I went, but that was because I despise an egg-centric brunch menu, we sat in the somewhat less-lovely basement, and I hadn’t gone there to write. The food’s a bit over-priced, [ READ MORE ]

Cafe Trieste Downtown

This is a 2-star review. 1667 Market St (between Page St & 12th St) San Francisco, CA 94103 There is something depressing about this café, and it’s not the bungling but cheerful baristas. It feels like a cave in here, and despite the diverse mix of patrons, I don’t quite feel at home. My pizza [ READ MORE ]

Caffe Trieste in North Beach

This is a 4-star review. 609 Vallejo St (between Grant Ave & Columbus Ave) San Francisco, CA 94133 Neighborhood: North Beach/Telegraph Hill A classic. The baristas might sound like they are yelling at you, but suck it up. They are treating you like family. Wine, beer, coffee, great soundtrack, and the authentic old men of [ READ MORE ]
