Hayes Valley is one of my favorite neighborhoods in all of San Francisco, nestled between Downtown and the Mission.

My first stop always seems to be Miette. I can’t wait for their new book!

This was my first time dining at bar JULES. It’s cozy and delicious, with a daily changing menu.

I love the colors all over the neighborhood…they put a little kick in your step!

It was opening day at Smitten Ice Cream, and worth the wait completely. Each cup is made to order, and is absolutely heavenly, down to the last bite.

My favorite store for all things little, Fiddlesticks.

One of my favorite decor boutiques, Lotus Bleu. Take a peek at their portfolio here.

And perched just up the street are the infamous Painted Ladies, sitting pretty in all their Victorian grandeur…
