Frisco potato

JPennant: ive hardly left sf since july
JPennant: heh, thats so NY :-)
misterB: hehe

Sure havent, except for my meanders to the marin headlands, and thats only because a MUNI bus goes there on sundays.

Yeah. I think Ive been to Oakland and Berkeley but once or twice since i came to San Francisco.

Part of it is that its muy expensive to travel around the Bay Area. Unless youre travelling within local areas, cross county lines and BART will evaporate a 10 dollar ticket with a quickness.

Thats very unlike NY.

But sorta like NY, if you live in The City, you dont really NEED a car. And if you dont have a car, you'll be disinclined to leave the cosy confines.

In fact, Ive become so parochial, that when i search Craigslist, I confine my search for the city, rarely bothering to even check the east Bay or peninsula, places that are within easy reach.

Like NY, everything I need is within the city, but unlike NY, everything i need is not within my neighborhood. When I lived in Brooklyn, the barbershop, chinese takeout, supermarket, laundromat, dry cleaners and bakeries were all within 2 square blocks.

Here, its more like 4 - 6 square blocks.

The other difference between here and NY?

Only tourists take cabs here.

A Fat Darrell

This is a sandwich served by Rutgers University at the R.U Hungry Grill and Pizza and grease trucks all over that area.

The ingredients on a long roll:

- chicken fingers
- mozzarella sticks
- marinara sauce
- a lot of french fries.

Mmmm hmm.

1400 calories and 65 grams of fat.

Or to put it in terms the lay person can understand:

You would have to eat two Big Macs, one-and-a half Whoppers or three 6-inch Subway meatball sandwiches to come close to the 65 grams of total fat in the Fat Darrell.

Dang, I miss the east coast.:)
