“Only those who have transcended the world can bring about a better world… Everybody you come in contact with will be touched by your presence and affected by the peace that you emanate… You teach through being, through demonstrating the peace of God.” ? Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now

Learning about saké brewing in the Willamette Valley

Learning about saké brewing in the Willamette Valley

As I settle in as Zagat Editor for San Francisco/Bay Area, I am daily covering new openings and old favorites, drink and events all over SF and NorCal (weekly Bay Area newsletter here; follow along on Twitter @ZagatSF). I’ve been keeping busier than usual with the unreal slew of 6-8 major openings a week we’ve been experiencing in SF alone (see “Top Tastes”), while savoring inspiring overnight jaunts in places like Port Costa (articles to come).
