Even in the Fifties, San Francisco Was a Food-Lover’s Paradise - I smelled all the food of San Francisco. There were seafood places out there where the buns were hot, and the baskets were good enough to eat too; where the menus themselves were soft with foody esculence as if dipped in hot broths and roasted dry and good enough to eat too. Just show me the bluefish spangle on a seafood menu and I'd eat it; let me smell the drawn butter and lobster claws...Jack Kerouac



@Film_SF is an ideal place to shoot as seen in the upcoming @fruitvalemovie & #BlueJasmine but they need more space! http://bit.ly/13DTSTj
