I showed him my list on my cell phone and he went right to work helping me fill it. In particular, I needed a quality pan and pot for cooking on the fire grill. He has a large selection to pick from. I don't like paper plates or plastic utensils, so I bought full sets of forks/knives plus 4 plates. I needed a decent spatula, he had that too. I needed batteries for my headband light and he had those. I also bought a deck of cards and many other needed items as well. I walked out of his store with all my items and paid just over $50.00 for everything!!! One service that I am happy about is that he accepts debit/credit cards. I highly recommend visiting MangVan and Sean for purchasing household goods and many other items. You won't be disappointed!!!! Thanks Sean!

There are events in SF where everyone knows it involves some type of costume. An annual event which involves performative running of over seven miles and resembles a mix of a flash mob, rave, fraternity and sorority Greek gathering and those who like to show their fun spirit in San Francisco at the Bay to Breakers run. Some years Karl the Fog accompanies the runners on a Sunday morning and some years the sun shines bright through the entire path. There is a place where you can gear up and show your San Francisco free spirit. Located on Clement street it's called Foggy Notion. On a San Francisco Karl The Fog stroll I landed inside Foggy Notion. Inside you will find candles and natural skincare products along with gifts with some San Francisco representation. The products are made by local artisans . Get a towel of Sutro Tower and salty waters of the Pacific Ocean on the both sides of the Bay Bridge. After the Bay to Breakers run come and get some soap. They also have San Francisco scented candles which doesn't stink like parts of Fisherman's Wharf in SF.

The associate working there was very friendly and funny. Plus she got our geeky reference to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (regarding said whale nailbrush) adding it just needed a potted geranium. That was super awesome! There were so many things I wanted to buy, but when it got right down to it I kept thinking it would be cool for someone else, but I wasn't sure they'd enjoy it as much as we would. LOL! In the end we ended up getting a fantastically-scented Tisane soy candle called One Rainy Wish. My happy rainy day wish is that I bought 2 or 3 instead of just the one so we'll be sure to return!

This is a popular cafe among locals and nonlocals. They have an ordering window, so you line up on the sidewalk. Menus are posted outside the window. The inside is super neat! It's a bookstore that sells a variety of books and other creative goods. We walked around while we waited for our drinks. The line moves fast, and they make the drinks really quickly! Everyone is nice and efficient. I got their seasonal drink, an Iced Pear Matcha with Oat Milk. The matcha was smooth and not too earthy, definitely creamy. The pear was all on the bottom and was mild and subtle. For the size, it was a bit expensive. Definitely wish the cup was bigger! Black Bird Bookstore and Cafe is a cute spot for a quick drink and shopping. It's great to support local, and I'm glad I could try it, but it's definitely on the pricey side. Find them off Irving Street with a line out the door and street parking around.

There are beautiful household and personal goods at a very fair price and Katie -the owner- offers great deals a lot! It's not often that I go into boutiques here in SF where the items aren't priced ridiculously. The store hours are only Friday, Saturday, and Sunday but that doesn't bother me the way it might bother others. I generally check the store hours to places before I go visit them anyway just in case. Ya never know! At any rate, this is a great local shop to spend your money in. You vote with your dollar, so I try to stay conscious of where I spend mine. I've purchased earrings, recycled handmade baskets (for beach days, picnics, and grocery shopping), a key chain accessory, cute cards, and a plant holder here. The selection is great. I'd recommend. (:

I have tried to visit this store a couple of times now and have not had any luck. When I drove all…read morethe way there, I saw a note in the window saying they were closed for some reason or another. If you are only open for 2 partial days a week, you cant expect to close for personal reasons and keep your customers. As you can see, the previous reviews were drafted by the owners... I have tried to stop by a couple times since my last review to no avail. Again... Closed during business hours. I tried to peek in today and they had a note on the window citing a "MASSIVE" flood which caused them to close for the month yet the store appeared to be in pristine condition. If the store is massively flooded, why does it appear to be in perfect order. I've tried to stop in and give them my business 4 times now and every time they have had their doors closed for my business. That is the last straw...

Christy is AMAZING!!! Initially my husband and I hired Christy to remodel our kitchen, she brought…read moresuch amazing contractors in. Believe it or not, they even gave us a schedule which they stuck to the entire time! Our friends say that this is unheard of. We were so pleased with the fact that she really understood what we wanted, specially as first time home owners. Even my husband, who was reluctant at first to use a professional to help us with anything other than the kitchen, was so impressed with her personality and professionalism that he very soon realized how invaluable it was to have her help us with the rest of the rooms in the house. In a world full of choices, hard ones, when you're finally deciding to sell the last bits of Ikea furniture on craigslist and buy some nice new things, Christy makes it so simple to make decisions without ever pressuring you. My husband and I had a budget to work with, and at every turn she gave us options to choose from at a range of prices, she even spent a sleepless night thinking about our bedside table lampshades and always had her tape measure handy to make sure everything was impeccable and not a cm off. Simply put Christy is a perfectionist, always prompt and always professional, from color palettes, suggesting new art, finding the exact cushion for our daughter's room, custom shelving, making us try out some different sofa's in person for comfort level, understanding our need for modern, stylish pieces that were still child proof without looking it, she really does it all! I have already referred Christy to several people I know, and they are all very excited to be working with her. In fact when everything in our home is finally complete (we're just finishing off the very last pieces) we'll be so sad to not have Christy around anymore. Coming from a different field of design myself, I really see the value in hiring someone and trusting them with what they have been doing for a number of years, and Christy really knows her stuff!

I'd never worked with a designer before and wasn't sure if we would see eye-to-eye. Christy had me start a Pinterest board and she and I pinned and commented on everything together. It was an easy, fun way for her to figure out what I like, and to get me out of my comfort zone (read: boring, brown, all wood). She suggested things I never would have thought of, and I'm so glad she did! Every time I walk through my house, it puts a smile on my face. She also picked out gorgeous paint colors for our house. My son's room is dark navy blue with white trim, which I never would have considered before. It's absolutely beautiful and dramatic. I gave Christy a budget that I wanted to stick to, and she was respectful of it. She is very responsive and has a lot of connections. She helped up find house painters and someone to hang all our art again when the painting was done. I recommend Christy without reservation! She has fantastic taste.

Everyone celebrates San Francisco differently. Seeing a celebration for the area code of the city…read moreof San Francisco has been always part of growing up especially during my High School years at Mission High school which happens to be tallest building in front of the Dolores Park. Yes having Dolores Park as your school yard and the place to spend your lunch period and some after school activities was happening all four seasons of the year not just on April 15 or 4/15 now also known as 415 day. The corporations and other entities start capitalizing on some underground fun. Now it's celebrated throughout San Francisco with people wearing items and gear which has something San Francisco on it. How I still celebrate it is going to a park in San Francisco with a favorite adult beverage currently it's a bottle of Pinot Noir for Don Juan Pinot Noir. Whether Dolores Park or Golden Park you can represent all four seasons in San Francisco by visiting that Park Life. On an April stroll in San Francisco finding where to park on Clement street can sometimes be a challenge in San Francisco. You can see people camping out for parking spots on Clement street ( like at Costco in SF). Park Life is a store on Clement street between 3rd and 4th Avenue which has items with themes of San Francisco. You will find art and stationaries. You will also see bags ,clothing, and hats with San Francisco on it that don't look like you picked it up at a souvenir shop at the Tourist trap in SF. You will also find some interesting books inside. There is a small art gallery in the back of the store . This is a good place to get a treat for yourself or grab a gift for others and have fun at a local San Francisco park . Whether it's Golden Gate Park, Duboce Park, McLaren Park, Mount Davison Park, Sue Bierman Park, Lafayette Park, Precita Park, Bernal Heights Park, Alamo Square Park, Washington Square Park, Dolores Park, Franklin Square Park, Presidio Tunnel Tops Park or Glen Park , etc. This place in San Francisco is all about that Park Life.
