THEY call this place everybody’s favorite city,
and if you want to know why just try to get a
hotel room or ride a cable car.

Well, it was a Saturday night in late spring in San Francisco,
when the weather was so good it would have impressed Mark

Twain (he also wrote books but more people probably know
his unkind quote about the weather here), and all the big

hotels were full to the rafters,

Then the Rex came through and it was perfect: a potted-
plane period piece on Sutter Street just two blocks from Union
Square. Instead of big tour groups and conventioneers there
were couples and some French tourists and at the free wine hour some amiable conversation.
As for the cable cars, standing on the comer of Powell and Sutter will only bring on old age,
for the cable cars fill up at Union Square ovo blocks to the south. To get to Fisherman’s Wharf
there are nvo options, cither walking a block to Stockton for the bus or taking a taxi. The latter
at $5 isa bargain because it will rake four people versus $2 a head in the cable car.
Anyway, TL walked. Nob Hill looks like an Everest ascent but it’s only three short blocks to
the crest at California Street, then an casy downhill stroll catching the fringe of Chinatown and
Washington Square, heart of the old Italian district and top end of the lively North Beach

restaurant row,

What J wanted was a window seat at Moose’s restaurant to watch the world go by, but [ got
a bonus in the form of Ed Moose himself, who came over with his red wine and pagpacho and
talked abour Herb Caen, the great newspaper columnist who had the heartbeat of the eny he
called old Baghdad by the Pay.

In his last 11 months, Caen got married, won the Pulitzer Prize and died.

Ed Moose and his restaurar

nt prevail in a city that attracts characters and good chels, and at

this cosmopolitan bistro the man at the helm is the talented Fabrice Canelle, ex-Tour d’Argent

in Paris.
