Ahhh... the menage a troi of course. 
So this is about looking where to move perhaps after college. Cool. My first move after college (which was to Maryland, believe it or not) started out as a really lonely time in my life at first ... I moved out for a job with no family or friends within 1,000 miles. And when you make that transition from school to work, unlike college, suddenly you're confronted with a lot of people of slightly different ages who are married and have families to go home to, etc. But it soon after became one of the best times of my life once I made some great friends and connected with people.
My advice? Chicago or New York are both great options. Live in a place where you will socialize with people around the same point in life as you. If you're in a smaller city, people get married and settle down as soon as they can legally drink (and sometimes because of it ). And commuting far away from where most recent graduates like to hang out and socialize can be limiting.

There's an Alioto's fish place and A Sabella's near there... not sure if that's what you mean. But as Nick would say, that is truly sh*t to save for the tourists.
Tre Fratelli nearby isn't half bad. But the best restaurants near Hyde St. Pier are Ana Mandara, an Asian fusion place owned by noneother than Don Johnson (no joke, you wouldn't know it going in), and Gary Danko ... where a meal costs about a semester worth of tuition.
But damn, it's gooooood....

Oh, Nick... with this photo in this thread, you're getting to be like the 88-year-old nanna who keeps bringing out the yellowed baby picture of her now-retirement-aged son.

I got a not-so-typical treatment....dishes not on the menu and the bill was surprisingly 'lower' than average....
however, glancing around I saw what is really served....not worth the money...thats for sure.
Crustecean's on POLK I believe it is was good back in 98 .... didn't try it this time around.

Nice try, Nick.
No, actually, knowing the family at a restaurant is a great 'in'. There are a lot of places I would eat, that I wouldn't normally, if I was connected somehow.

A big hearty Lou Alioto greeted me and gave me a nice table overlooking Hyde Street Pier...
no connections here!
