Any "must try" food places on a Monday by the Portal?

Oyunnas is a stone throw away if you want some mongolian food. Really good borsch and dumplings plus always a couple of sante beers on tap. And unless you want to spend all of your time in traffic i wouldnt suggest aptos st.

 

[chemman141]

aptos and Trail dust are the best of the bunch. The others although own by the same people just seem like knock offs IMO

Yeah I’ve honestly only been to Aptos and I really don’t see anyway they can improve. I dream of that food haha.

If you’re looking for something on the nicer end, Lilian’s is great Italian just a couple blocks away.

(But I see you’re coming from NYC, so maybe that’s not what you’d want!)

 

[souredstouts]

Charlie Hong Kong has its fans, and I very much so swear by Los Pericos.

I dream of that food haha.

I’m staying in Redwood City 4/1-3. Visiting Portal on 4/1, work meetings 8-5 in foster city on 4/2 then the Warriors game, work meetings 8-4 on 4/3 and killing time til my 10pm flight that night (probably going to Fieldwork and looking for seafood in the area.)

oh damn you’ll be right in my neck of the woods. some killer places in redwood city to check out too. ghostwood beer, a block away from gourmet haus staudt, and that is a block from the best tacos at tacos el gruellense. man you can easlily make a night of that, and probably close to where your staying

no ********, ive made the stumble to el grullense a-many of times, tacos de lengue are the best youll ever have


as for fieldwork it’s super close to foster city (across the freeway) they got a sour for sale right now if you go to their website, last day to pick up is the 1st! you can also order crowlers ahead of time to swoop them up, i’d recommend to do that. as far as sea food its most likely sushi in belmont or san mateo.

getting to portal on monday from rwc will be lots of traffic, but not impossible

warriors game will probably be 10 times worse lol, if you head over early and need to kill a bit of time Drake’s brewing in san leandro is worth a visit, their tap list is usually pretty killer and they got a pretty great selection of brewery only bottles to go

since it’s not a weekend i won’t have very much time to meet up, or i’d try and catch ya for a beer! hope you have fun here man

That Al pastor looked good. I am angry that I have a new stop I have to convince my wife to go to on our way to visit the yay area.

Depends on the type of seafood you want. New England Lobster up near the airport has the best lobster rolls, crab melts, and lobster/crab plates around, but it's a bit spendy. If you want a good mix of things, Pacific Catch in San Mateo is decent and has a good happy hour 4-6 in the bar area. Cfoodcrush is cajun-style with a few Asian fusion items rounding out the menu and has solid food. Rustic House Oyster Bar in San Carlos (between Fieldwork and Redwood City) does oysters and American seafood really well also.

One of my favorites that has a few seafood dishes is Limon Rotisserie (Peruvian style food) in Burlingame. It's a small chain with incredible food and great cocktails.

If you're looking for Asian-style seafood, there are tons of Asian restaurants in downtown San Mateo. Everything from sushi to dim sum to hot pot.

I'd be happy to try and meet up with you when you're here, at Fieldwork on Wednesday or whatever works. I'll send you a PM with my info.

El Gru is a great rec. Also highly recommend I Dumpling down the street from GHS on Broadway. If you want more hip, check out Timber & Salt - they normally have a few good beers on and some decent food.

For beer, City Pub also often has some good beers on. So you could add that to your Ghostwood/GHS stumble.

[ABSTRACTlegend]

wisdom is learnt sounds amazing!

 

[Aaronkv]

Damn, Epic start to 2019.

 

[loeyjarko]

****** imperial Witt m8 fucccc me uppp

 

[loeyjarko]

Hoegarden grand cru sante style

 

[matedog]

Not a fan of citrus sours, but stoked about the rest!

 

[AndresR]

 

[loeyjarko]

Sounds like it won’t be v sour to me but I guess we won’t know until we know. Hope it’s kinda ester-y

 

[iong516]

I'm stoked for that Metronome...

 

[MKtheGeneral]

Feasibility of making it from Foster City at 3pm on a Weds to Capitola and back to SFO for 8pm?

 

[iong516]

Probably could only spend an hour in Capitola but probably doable. Retuning a rental car too?

 

[AndresR]

Feasibility of making it from Foster City at 3pm on a Weds to Capitola and back to SFO for 8pm?

yeah, maybe spend an hour at most at one spot.

Also, you need to ask yourself, how important is it you catch the flight?

 

[MKtheGeneral]

Yes, flight is at 1015.

Wife would murder me, possibly using a bottle of Bernice

 

[iong516]

Oh you're fine

 

[MKtheGeneral]

Ian, not sure if that’s sarcasm or not haha

Should be fine, just keep an eye on Waze and Maps.

Hwy 17 can close if a stiff breeze hits the wrong tree, so there's always a chance you just get stuck outright. Doesn't happen a ton, but often enough that it's worth mentioning.

Also watch for cannibalistic albinos. They inhabit the mountains and can sense kooks.

Would you get to drink the bottle of Bernice first?

 

[MKtheGeneral]

Would you get to drink the bottle of Bernice first?

Knowing my luck, and to really add insult to injury, probably not.

 

[RyanG1]

Pour it out on your grave?

 

[MKtheGeneral]

Pour it out on your grave?

I definitely wouldn’t be having a pour one out for her homies at that point
