What We're Talking About This Week

Whenever the weather is nice in the North Bay, we love to get out of San Francisco and spend time on the coast. Tomales Bay Oyster Company has been one of our go-to spots for picnicking and oysters, but it is being shut down. We're thinking a goodbye trip may be in order this weekend...

Shepard Fairey is one of the most interesting graphic designers working today. His instagram is one of our favorites, so we are looking forward to the release of his new book, Covert to Overt. This Tuesday Moby will be interviewing Shepard at the Herb Alpert Educational Village in Santa Monica, which promises to be an amazing conversation.

One of our LA favorites is coming to the Bay Area!  Lemonade is always a go-to lunch spot on a busy day, and we love that they'll be adding locations in San Francisco, Walnut Creek, and Palo Alto next year.

As you know, we are huge James Bond fans. Daniel Craig is near the top of the list for favorite actors who've tackled the role, so we were thrilled to hear that Spectre won't be his last Bond film.

If you're in San Francisco this weekend, love live music, and are looking for something inexpensive to do, head to Golden Gate Park for the FREE three day bluegrass festival Hardly Strictly Bluegrass.

Day Trip: Goop's Guide to West Marin

This week's issue of Gwyneth Paltrow's goop mag goes to our home county of Marin, just across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco.  Goop herself is apparently a big shellfish fan, and recommends oyster hopping around Tomales Bay in West Marin.  The online magazine's editors visited some of our favorite spots: Nick's Cove, Hog Island, Marshall Store, and Tomales Bay Oyster Company to get their fix.  Of course, they also threw in a hike, additional restaurant recommendations, a hotel, and some shopping options.  Being Marin Natives, we knew all of these spots, but they're always worth a reminder and another visit - we will be posting more of our favorites soon!
