THE SPCA IN MACY’S
TORSO VINTAGES
SCALA’S BISTRO
I highly recommend my dentist Kim Mitchell. She is a fantasitic dentist located in Union Square. I have been working with Kim for several years. She is simply the best!!!
The SPCA brings puppies and kittens to the holiday decorated storefront of Macy’s every year. If you’re looking for a pet, why not save money and an animal’s life this season-shop and adopt!
Torso Vintages has every era of clothing covered. It’s not the thrift store you go to for a great deal - it’s where you find ultra-rare vintage designer gowns and accessories. Torso regularly sells to museums and private collectors around the world. If you have a special event coming up this holiday season but need the perfect gala-worthy party dress, you’d be remiss not to stop by and say hi. The collection is captivating even if you don’t have a special occasion in mind. Many celebs stop in for a fix when they come to town, you might run into Jean Paul Gaultier himself.
If you want a great Italian experience, look no further than Scala’s Bistro at the Sir Francis Drake Hotel on Powell at Sutter. Fresh pasta, great atmosphere and an extensive wine and cocktail list are sure to please. My favorite dishes are the Moules Frites, Margherita pizza and the Orecchiette pasta, but the choice is yours.
When you go, be prepared for a wait and bring your appetite!

Sticking with our exercise routine. Long morning walks are challenging in this cold weather.
