Purple Trees in the Mission

Thursday night I ventured into the mission for dinner with a girlfriend (don't you worry, post to come soon) and quickly realized that I need to make a point of dining in this neighborhood more often. There are so many hidden gems! I am currently in the midst of creating a 'mission wish list' with the next restaurant being: Delfina
Anyone care to join me? Or better yet, any recommendations?
PS: I finally saw the actual Bi-Rite grocery store for my first time!

These pictures are so pretty. I love that burst of purple from the purple trees. =)

Bren said...

Gorgeous trees, and love that Bi-Rite store! So cute! Is it a regular grocery store? Also, curious Alicia...what kind of camera do you use? Your pics always look so great! Mine never look that good, but maybe I'm just a terrible photographer. LOL!

@Bren, Bi-Rite is a cute speciality grocery store. They also have a creamery a block away that sells amazing ice cream!!! And in regards to my camera, I use a Canon Rebel T1i.

I'll join you! I love the Mission and there are so many amazing restaurants there! Where did you ladies eat? I love Beretta, Bar Bambino, and Range. I also can’t wait to try Delfina and Flour + Water and the list goes on! :D Happy Fri and happy eating!

Alicia said...

@Sheila, oh thanks for the recs! Flour + Water is on my list too! Let's plan a date night soon!

Jessica said...

Wow you are speedy lady! Those neighborhood shots are amazing, and I didn't even know you took them. Thanks for venturing out with me, can't wait for a repeat.

natalie said...

I have lived in the mission for the last 5+ years and I can tell you without a doubt that it is the best restaurant neighborhood in the city. But forget delfina. If you want to spend that kind of money, go to Range. It is hands down my favorite restaurant on earth! Simply the best.

Alicia said...

@natalie, thanks so much! adding Range to my list!! ;)

Katie said...

Jen said...

Loved the Fentons ice cream post. Love the purple trees also.

Bren said...

I had a feeling you were using a dslr. The sensors are so much better than point & shoots. :) I've been wanting one for a while, but wonder if I'd use it as much as my Canon Elph. They're not the most portable. Maybe I'll give them a second look though. ;)
