I need to focus on #ThreeGoodThings:

1) emerging from the Caldecott Tunnel on Westbound 24 this morning -- Journey's "Don't Stop Believin" was on the radio and the Bay looked gorgeous.

2) I took my daughter out for a yummy breakfast at Paradise Park Cafe in Oakland.

3) after a pretty good doctor's appointment, I treated myself to an iced matcha latte and mochi donut from Third Culture.

Not many people know this, but San Francisco is home to a large Yemeni diaspora, especially around the Tenderloin / Nob Hill area. That's why we have so many good Yemeni coffee and cake places (Delah Coffee, Haraz). Most of the grocers are also run by the community.

A newish restaurant just opened. 'Yemeni kabab & Mediterranean' . Really excellent. Some of the best falafel I've had anywhere in this city. Everything is good really. I've been really wanting this style of food (different from regular Mediterranean' as it uses more spices) so I am happy it opened. I hope it does well. Try any of the haneeth and kabsas. I love well flavored rice like that.

Very affordable lunch sets.

My favorite bánh mì in SF right now is at Bo&Beurre, kitty corner across from Saigon Sandwich (which is fine, but B&B just has far better ingredients and flavor). It’s also almost 2x the price of Saigon. But I am fine paying that coz I like it 3x more.

One day (soon) I will write a list of all the bánh mì stores in the Tenderloin and what to get from each.
