    Streetwear/Sneaker Shopping Maps

    in superblurber

    Posted

    Hey, I held off posting this for a long time because I didn't want to be all spamy, but I work on a fashion/design site called Jargol.com that I really think might be useful to some SF members.

    We have these interactive shopping maps organized by city or by category that I think people here might find useful. They're in no way complete and I'm always looking for suggestions, criticisms, whatnot, but anyway I thought I'd share.

    Here are a few links

    Comments and additions (follow link at bottom of map) welcome.

    thanks,

    opening ceremony

    in supershopper

    Posted

    I've been. Opening Ceremony is a great store, one of my favorite in NYC, and has a very nice line of stylish basics. The concept is each year they pick one country and feature designers from that country, mixed with some New York designers. They focus on up-and-coming, often avant-garde designers and produce their own line of basics to complement but not compete with the lines in the store.

    There's some basic info about the store here:

    I really Alain Mikli frames, I've had mine for two years w/o having to adjust or tighten the hinges once.

    Other cool brands: IC Berlin, if you're into the metal look, Blinde, this brand called Vinylize that makes glasses out of vinyl records, this German brand called Grotesque. These are all available at Disrespectacles in New York (they have online shopping with a limited selection), but you can probably find them elsewhere.

    Things to do in and around San Francisco

    in superjetset

    Posted

    I agree with everyone else, definitely go up to wine country. Since you have plenty of time, take a drive down to Big Sur. Basically the highway hugs the coast, and it's one of the most beautiful drives in California. Spend some time in the many different neighborhoods of SF, they all have their own character.

    As for dining, SF is great, second only to New York in the US in my opinion. If you're looking for fine dining, La Folie, Fleur de Lys, Gary Danko, Fifth Floor, Campton Place are among the best. The French Laundry is recognized to be one of the best restaurants in the world, but you're going to have trouble finding reservations and dinner for two will cost $400-800, depending on what / how much you drink. Piperade and Fringale are really good, they're a little bit cheaper than the first-tier SF restaurants and have really goode Basque / French food. For great and cheap Indian / Pakistani try Shalimar. For great Sushi try Sushi Ran (in Sausalito). For good mexican, try the places in the Mission. The Slanted Door in the Mission has really good Vietnamese / Fusion food.

    That's all I can think of for the moment, if you're looking so something in particular, let me know.

    hot spots in boston?

    Just wanted to mention, you might also try the The Tannery. It focuses more on outdoor/hiking shoes, but they have some interesting stuff sometimes (http://www.thetannery.com)

    Also for public transport, the T (which is their Metro system) is actually pretty good. There's a metro stop right by the shopping area of Newbury st., plus one in Harvard Square, etc. So it'll take you to the shops that have been mentioned.

    truth about norther cali?

    in superjetset

    I've lived in the Bay Area for about 5 years while going to college, and I plan to move back soon.

    So yeah, like whosnervous said Oakland is a cool place to live, some areas are really sketchy though, so you'll want to be sure you're in one of the nicer areas. Berkeley is nice too, but around the campus housing is expensive and hard to find, but the farther you move out the more reasonable it is. Also there's this little tiny city called Emeryville that's kind of in between Oakland and Berkeley that's not much on its own, but the rents are cheap.

    If you want to actually live in SF, the average rents for the city center is about 1000-1200 for a small studio apartment. So yeah most young (not-rich) people who live in SF live in the "Sunset" and "Inner Richmond" neighborhoods. Since SF is such a small city, you're only a short drive from the action of the city and rents are a little more reasonable.

    I'm sure you've hread of this already, but craigslist.org is the place to look for anything you need in the Bay Area (apts., roommates, jobs, buy/sell furniture). They cover a bunch of other cities too, but since it was started in SF, its particularly useful for the Bay Area.
