8 | Japantown

Japantown is our happy place that we visit every few weeks when we need our Ramen fix. I am Godzilla attacking Nick the Sumo Wrestler. Also a literal interpretation of our relationship. Clearly, I am winning.

7 | Cowgirl Creamery

We all know that happy cows come from California. This cheese comes from the happiest and most elated cows in the entire state. You can literally taste their happiness when you bite into this miraculous cheese.

6 | The Painted Ladies

Let's be honest--who doesn't love this San Francisco landmark? Every time I pass by these pastel Victorians in Alamo Square, I hear the theme music from Full House, remember Uncle Jesse, and smile. "Everywhere you look (everywhere), There's a heart (there's a heart), A hand to hold on to..." So true, my friends.

5 | Rose Geranium Macarons from Miette

These lovelies taste like a little piece of heaven. Every time I walk by Miette in the Ferry Building, I can't resist their allure and end up purchasing at least one for myself and one for whoever is lucky enough to be with me at the time. These crunchy almond cookies with their fragrant and creamy rose flavored filling are simply irresistible.
