While you are in San Francisco you get the opportunity to eat at all sorts of places. Through out the day there are some quick stop places that you can catch a quick bit while you are shopping and snooping around the city. There are many new modern style restaurants furnished with new elegance and serving up wonderful gourmet blends of ethnic cuisines to enjoy. There are also some classics in a city with so much history. If you like to catch a little bit of the nostalgia of a city than you might find some interest in eating and spending time in some of the older more historical restaurants.
How about the oldest Italian restaurant still in operation in the country. Yes. The country. Fior D’Italia has been open and busy in the family since 1886. It is located in the North Beach area of the city, which makes sense because that is sort of like the little Italy of San Francisco. The locals love to eat here and so will you. For true food enthusiasts it is a must eat at place in the city. In 1908, there was a sort of Bogart style of restaurant called John’s Grill that opened. Visitors, including celebrities, have visited this restaurant for all these years. They serve up some American classics like steak dinners along with fresh seafood and pastas. It will take you back with it’s original period furnishings and offering a museum of memorabilia along the dark oak walls.
All you need is a room at one of the luxury hotels located in San francisco such as these to spend time out in a place like the Far East Cafe which is right in the heart of Chinatown. This will bring you back in time from another place far away. It was established in 1920 and has been operating every since. The decor is ornate with the tall ceilings dripping with chandeliers and the Chinese murals painted on the walls. Much of the art work was brought over from China more than a hundred years ago.
