After eating at Swan Oyster Depot, we went for a drive. Why? Why not? It involved a lot of winding roads and beautiful scenery. Why don’t I live in San Francisco?

Oooooh, pretty beach.

Michael and Hampton!

I don’t know what is going on here.

Sigh.

Then I made everyone go to Japantown. Michael and Hampton had never been to Japantown, even though they live in San Francisco. I, of course, come to Japantown every time I go to San Francisco. As a bonus, it was the annual cherry blossom festival so there were a lot of food booths and other fun things set up outside.

Then I made everyone eat ramen.

Mike posed with this maneki neko and I bought a lot of Japanese magazines and mochi and taiyaki.

So fun!

And then some hangout time on the grass in Dolores Park.

Again, why don’t I live here?

What more do you need in life besides sunshine and beer and Japanese magazines? Okay, no one needs the Japanese magazines except for me, but you know, whatever.

Mike suggests that in addition to sunshine, beer, and Japanese magazines, one requires tacos to live.

DELICIOUS TACOS ACQUIRED.

And then I drank this fruity drink, the end.

As soon as we got off the train in San Francisco, we headed over to the Swan Oyster Depot to eat seafood and meet up with Michael and Hampton. Seafood for breakfast? YES PLEASE. The place is basically like an old school diner, but you know, with seafood. Lots of seafood.

Swan Oyster Depot was already famous but it was recently (at the time) featured on Anthony Bourdain’s The Layover, so the lineup before IT EVEN OPENED was already long. I am not the only person who wants to eat sweet, fresh crab for breakfast. Apparently all of America wants to eat crab for breakfast, since Lucky Peach also named it the “Best Place to Eat in America.”

Oh hey, it’s Michael and Hampton!

So close, I can almost taste the crab.

YES! Finally time for eating. Bring me some crab!

Oysters, since it is called Swan OYSTER Depot, after all.

Someone else’s unimportant meal that does not contain crab.

CRAB.

Not crab.

Beautiful, beautiful crab salad. Sweet and tangy and crunchy and crab-y and so delicious. I love you, Swan Oyster Depot. Special thanks to all the crabs that died for my meal.
