If you’ve been wavering about seeing the much-talked-about musical Rock of Ages at the Curran–you’ve only got a few more days. The show ends here in San Francisco on the 9th of April. The consensus is that it’s not one for the kids, but if you grew up with–or have a fond affection for–the...
There’s a special section in my heart dedicated to the shoe department at Saks in New York. It’s the place where I bought my favorite night-blue, patent-leather Yves Saint Laurent heels, a pair I picked out after hours of searching in the behemoth shoe section—the department is so big it even has its own...

I surprised my two daughters last week with a school night adventure in the city. Peter Pan had just opened in the threesixty° Theater at Ferry Park (not sure why they didn’t name it Fairy Park). Despite a laundry list of obstacles and not leaving Marin until 6:30pm, we made it to the parking...

Well as all of you know by now (unless you have been sleeping under a rock) the Bay Bridge is closed this Labor Day weekend. To see some cool simulations of what your drive might soon be like click here. More news and info here. This bridge really will look great when it is...
