A cold beach day back on New Years Day at Crissy Field. Crissy Field is one of our favorite beaches to go play at. I probably don't have to explain why!

Savvy Restaurants: Coqueta
Coqueta is located along the embarcadero at Pier 5 in San Francisco. It is a Spanish tapas concept created by Chef Michael Chiarello (Bottega). Carlos and I would put this up on one of our favorite restaurants for 2014. The food was delicious and the cocktails (get one of their Spanish gin & tonic cocktails) were amazing!
The "Sunny Side-Up" Huevo and the Albondigas a la Feria are must have dishes. If you have room for dessert, you must have the Salted Caramel Manchego cheesecake pops.....I can't even talk about them without my mouth watering.
Happy eating!
Cheers,
Savvy Bay Area Date Nights
I'm excited to partner with LiveHealth
Online on this post. As a mom, I'm always looking for things
that will make things more efficient or easier for me, so that I can enjoy more
time with my kids and my husband. The LiveHealth
Online App is one of those things that can save me time, which allows
us to enjoy more of our time together whether it is as a family or as a couple.
It makes me feel good about taking care of the health of my family in a
way that fits our busy lifestyle but with confidence that I'm getting good
advice from a qualified primary doctor.
LiveHealth Online asked me
to share some of my favorite date night ideas with you if you
live in the Bay Area:
#1: Ferry Building (San Francisco) - Ferry over to the Ferry Building
if you don't live in San Francisco and enjoy shopping in the amazing line up of
local artisans from all over the Bay Area. Then enjoy some Vietnamese
food at the famous Slanted Door by Chef Charles
Phan with it's gorgeous view of the Bay Bridge. If you don't get too
full and decide not to do dessert at Slanted Door, try one of Humphry
Slocombe's creative ice cream flavors.
#2: Mill Valley (Marin) - Enjoy a delicious farm to table meal at Molina in this quaint space that makes you feel like you are in Chef Todd Shoberg's own house. Get a spot at the bar where you can watch them cook everything on the menu in their wood-fired oven. After dinner, head on over to Sweetwater Music Hall to here one of your favorite bands play live. This music hall has been open for over forty years and has had some amazing musicians grace it's stage.
#3: Mission (San Francisco) - Get fresh pastas and other Italian
tasty dishes from Farina in
the Mission (if it is a nice night they have a gorgeous roof deck space to dine
at). After dinner instead of waiting in a long line at Bi-Rite Creamery, head over to Bi-Rite Market and pick up a pint
of their ice cream (Salted Caramel is my favorite) to go along with two
spoons.
#4: Off The Grid at Fort Mason (San Francisco) - Off the Grid has many different events all over the
Bay Area, but Off the Grid at Fort Mason (along with Off the Grid Picnic at the Presidio)
are two of my favorite spots. Go for a sunset walk down Crissy Field
while you watch the sun drop behind the Golden Gate. Then head over to
Fort Mason to taste an abundance of different food trucks. From pork
buns, peruvian sandwiches to creme brûlée carts and cupcake trucks.
#5: Ferry over to Marin Country Mart (Marin) - Jump on the ferry at the Ferry Building in San
Francisco and head on over to Larkspur. Come a little bit early to make
sure you can shop in some of their luxury shops including: SpaceNK, Hudson Grace, Calypso
St. Barth and Intermix. After shopping, you can
choose from fresh cocktails, wood-fired pizzas and farm fresh entrees at Farmshop or some of the best meat and a pretty
amazing burger at BelCampo Meats.
