Baskin Robbins 31-cent scoop night tonight
Tuesday, April 29th, 2008Ben and Jerry’s feeds hungry Bunchkins for free!
Tuesday, April 29th, 2008
Ben and Jerry’s is turning 30 and they want to celebrate with YOU!
Not only is Free Cone Day a chance to get a free scoop of ice cream, it is also considered to be quite a bash. “Every year Free Cone Day is our biggest and best party,” boasted Heintz. “There’s always great fun and surprises at your neighborhood Scoop Shop with local celebrities as guest scoopers, worthwhile social mission partners, music and other entertainment happening throughout the day, so make sure you make it down to enjoy all of the Free Cone Day fun.”
In 2007 Ben & Jerry’s Scoop Shops gave away more than 1 million free cones worldwide! For you to consume that many scoops, you’d have to eat more than 416 ice cream cones each hour for every day of your life if you lived to be 100! You’d also be practically guaranteed to get an ice cream headache…
Holy Gelato – Gelato and Toys in the Inner Sunset
Saturday, January 5th, 2008Didn’t care too much about their gelato, but they had some pretty cool retro lunchboxes, mugs, shotglasses, clocks and other stuff. Need to find a present in the middle of the night? Come here! Awesome service!
Spent: $5 (which includes tax and tip – yes, I tip for gelato too.)

Wednesday, December 12th, 2007Kissako Tea – Japanese proverb say drop by for some tea
Monday, October 15th, 2007What is “Kissako”?
“Most Japanese people today don’t know about ‘kissako,’ ” he explains graciously, having become accustomed after many years to my endless reservoir (river) of questions. “It has two meanings. One, ‘Don’t be in such a rush.’ Yes you can go on your way, but first, drink tea. And then you can go. “Also it means, whoever you are, you can drink here some tea, with other people, together, high or low caste. I offer you tea. In ancient Japan, this was, of course, not common. That’s why it’s a Zen proverb.” (Source)
I feel like I’m sitting outdoors except I’m indoors. People come by and stare at me eating, or maybe they’re staring at the food, or maybe they’re staring at me taking pictures of the food.
It’s so hard to find places that serve fresh onigiri (rice ball). Unlike the ones from the Japanese supermarkets, these have less vinegar and come warm. I’m going back for more. And the takoyaki! I always have to order takoyaki whenever I see it at a restaurant because it’s so rare. Kinda pricey for five pieces but they make some of the better ones around the city.
The ramen was good, but I still prefer Santa Ramen because they have more choices and because they put more things inside. My meal ended with dessert – see below. Food coma never felt so good.
Seating is limited (three two-seater tables) so come during an off-peak hour or just wait. It’s worth it!
Fact: Sweets (mochi, cake, etc.) are imported from LA.
