My time living in the Sunset has led me to quite a few places I know you'll want to check out. Just try not to get lost in the fog, ok?

This list is more a dumping ground of tips for the South Bay that don't really fit into my other lists (https://foursquare.com/tmcghan/lists/created). You still might find something cool though...

I may have graduated from Maryland in 2006, but I've got some tips that can help you learn about Maryland, and find some fun things to do around campus :)

I've been at Google for a while, and I noticed there just really aren't a lot of (good) tips in the area. Sure, there's the main 'Googleplex' venue, but we can do better, right? Right.

Just because it's on this list doesn't mean it's good, but the top joints are damn tasty.

    "I don't plan on playing Russian roulette in my life, but at least now I know what it feels like: the moment before you figure out if you got the friendly, competent tech, or the self-righteous jerk."

    "Maybe the only place in SF worth taking your car to. Consistently courteous over the 1.5+ years I've used them, and they treat my girlfriend and I the same, a must for any place to keep my business."

    "Maybe I'm a crab snob, but I think the Le Mer is terribly overrated. The crab flavor is completely crushed by the eggs and hollandaise, making the crab irrelevant. My potatoes were undercooked, too :("

    "For pho, I just go with the pho tai. Simple, solid, yummy. If price is no object and you want to mix it up, go with the garlic and butter crab. Just come hungry or bring a friend. You'll need 'em!"
