I love your Icon, its too cool. Great video. I have done several Chinatown walking trips, your video has shown me that their is lots more to explore. I can bet you there is lots of hidden treasures in need of exploring.

That was awesome. Thank you!! I’ll have to bookmark these places. Went to the Taoist temple on our 1st visit many years ago.

One small correction. Portsmouth Square was named after the US sloop of war, the USS Portsmouth, that was anchored off Yerba Buena Cove. Montgomery was captain of the USS Portsmouth, which took possession of Yerba Buena on July 9th, 1846. Portsmouth Square/La Plaza as it was called at the time, was not a port. It's where the flagpole stood since 1833. The shoreline was at current day Montgomery Street and east towards current day Embarcadero. That's where the landfill starts.

Thanks for sharing!

Really enjoyed this video. It was excellent. Just limited to Chinatown. The brief history in the beginning was interesting. It been age since I've been to Chinatown. My family use to go walk up the mountain and afterward head to SF for grocery shopping( roasted/bbq meat and bao etc). Your list help tremendously. Love to try the Steap tea shop too. Want to try your fave Purple Drink. Tfs🙏

Purple Rain is pretty awesome! However, if you can't get out here to SF, you can try making it yourself. Butterfly Pea Tea can be purchased off Amazon. Make it iced with a bit of lemon and simple syrup.

Your videos convinced me! I went to Good Mong Kok yesterday for the first time and took some friends to try it also. (After participating in the “Stop Asian Hate” march & rally.) The har gow was great! Wish I bought more. Their egg custard tarts were also very satisfying. I’m not a big bao fan but I bought two, plenty of tasty pork filling. I didn’t see shumai until I was waking out the door (darn it, it was covered w another tray of bao) - I’ll get it next time!

Do you recommend any of the hop off hop on buses?

@ZeeneInRealLife

4 жыл бұрын

Hi Steve, the hop on hop off buses can be expensive but depends on your budget and itinerary. Generally I find they are helpful to get a lay of the land and if you plan to only do a quick drive by of the major sites listed on their route just to check them off your list. Otherwise it's cheaper to take MUNI and get a multi-day passport. If you decide to take the HOHO tour, look into bundled discount services like the Go San Francisco Card which also includes admission to museums and attractions.

Hi, are you also on other platforms? Thank you

OK, here are a few you can look into -- I haven't taken them myself but they seem to go to the right foodie places!! "Adventures off the Eaten Path" hits Golden Gate Bakery, Kam Po BBQ (I prefer Hing Lung but you get good BBQ here too), an authentic tea experience, and the must do Golden Gate Fortune Cookie visit. "Stretchy Pants" *seems* to hit Sam Wo, Eastern Bakery, a tea tasting and Golden Gate Fortune Cookie (from the pics but can't verify). Then finally "Wok Wiz" which seems to be the most authentic experience but also the most expensive (the tour guides are legit so you are definitely catching the local flavor on this one). Hope that helps! Happy anniversary! 🍾
