Pacific Rim Fusion, that's what they call this hippest "citrusy" restaurant around the Castro area. Whoddathunk corn can be fritters and spicy? Deelish! Tangerine is located on 16th and Sanchez. The mid-size fancy ambience of a dining place offers excellent array of fusion food from Lemongrass Lamb Lollipops to Pineapple Duck cooked with red curry, coffee and coconut served with rice cake. Midsize to mid-priced menu. This restaurant is worth a comeback for the excellent food and customer service. Hmmm...I should've asked if they actually serve tangerine drinks....

A small boutique in the heart of Castro where you can find trendy, fashionable and affordable clothes and shoes, all in one shop. The store has branched out for another location also in the Castro where they sell and clear off season clothing and shoe line. Staff are mostly friendly yet one was abrupt but just mistaken to be arrogant at first. In the end very helpful.

It's not conspicuous except for the little white signage outside that entices Lunch Specials fanatics. This small and cozy Indian restaurant is by far at par with bigger Indian restaurants in the city. If not the best there is with regard to its food. From the samosas to masalas and the naan bread, believe me there most popular Indian Restaurant is a lowly comparison. For the price and food, I give this Indian restaurant two smelling like curry thumbs up.

A special treat when you and your friends take your dinner at Harvey's on the corner of 18th and Castro St. Now popular for its Tuesday Comedy Show, that usually draws diners, Harvey's is definitely a place to sit, unwind and sip a great drink in the Castro. Servings are more than okay. It is enough to feed a couple. But brace yourselves with the lineup of comic acts. They will definitely make you LYAO (Laugh Your Ass Off.)

Where's the best way to eat before or right after a great foreign and Hollywood films? Where else at the Sundance Kitchen right below the Sundance Kabuki Cinemas at the Post St close to Japantown. The bar and restaurant is cozy for cold customers from the chilly weather. Menu is fusion food such as Hawaiian, Filipino, Japanese and of course American. Great service from the staff and a place for claustrophobic eaters. The place has high ceilings and wider table arrangements. The drinks selection is excellent for being well mixed and appeals to the discriminating palates of cocktail lovers.
