Ruth, I don’t know how I missed this beautiful post, but I did! Thanks to you and Jeff for taking us along to all of these wonderful places. That sandwich at Molinari’s Delicatessen is 🙌 and I love Spumoni!
Again, my deepest condolences on the loss, much too soon, of your beloved brother. 🙏
Hello Ruth, I've been away from the online world for almost two months and I'm catching up on your newsletter only now. I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm sending you and your family love and support ❤️
Wonderful post Ruth. I've never been to San Francisco (maybe one day) and your descriptions of food made my mouth water. I also appreciated the information about the local art and culture.
Thank you for such a grand tour of San Francisco, Ruth. Your stories of Little Italy take me back to visiting the Festival of San Gennaro as a college student in NYC. How wonderful that Molinari's Deli has been in the same family for four generations!

Love this literally colorful post, and so glad you had a good time! I'm relieved you found creatives hanging on in the city, after years of spiralling housing costs, and, as you note, a massive homelessness problem.
If you venture into Chinatown on a future trip: Delicious Dimsum. That's its name, and it's a takeaway. There's no seating (well, ok,one single table, good luck with getting it). You join the queue, order quickly to avoid the disdain of the dim sum dolers, and retreat to the street with your absurdly cheap and insanely good dim sum in environmentally shameful clamshell boxes. There's nowhere to eat in the street, either, so son and I stood with our backs to a wall of dubious cleanliness, stuffing our faces while going nomnomnom. Totally worth it.

Thank you, Ruth, for sharing such great ideas, tastes and thoughts about our neighborhood. And for the reminder about your lovely brother.

What a marvelous post! I always enjoy the images from places you visit and the food...oh the food! Thinking of you, Jeff and Michael with love.
