- CBS5 picks Na Ya Dessert House (5338 Geary Blvd) as a staff favorite for cheap eats. “It’s a real Asian sweet treat (they serve Japanese, Taiwanese, and of course Thai dessert which is hard to find in the US), and it’s affordable just 10 dollars for two desserts and a drink.”
- 7×7 has the details on communing with the SFPD’s equine officers. “Farther west into the park, patrolling officers mount their horses at the red Golden Gate Park Police Stables. Visit any 9am-2pm to pet and feed the equine force.” Located next to the Polo Fields near 36th Avenue, 415-752-6255.
- This $3.9 million property features an indoor lap pool and an “original speakeasy with secret passageway” that is now the media room. Oh if walls could talk.
- Noodle on this name change: Chiang Mai (5020 Geary at Park Presidio), is under new ownership and will become Amphawa Thai Noodle House.
