The staff definitely carry that "too cool" Supreme vibe, so don't expect warm customer service, but that kind of comes with the territory. One thing to note: the area outside can be a little rough.

I shook my head no, wondering where this could possibly be going. "Crocs feel exactly the way you think they would feel just by looking at them." That's how the Supreme store feels. Exactly how you'd expect, exactly what you'd expect, exactly who you'd expect. And it's not that it's some torturous experience or anything, it's just not necessarily worth a visit aside from a drop that you wouldn't be able to obtain online. But, you likely wouldn't even be able to find out if what you're after is in stock in-store or available anyway because staff so rarely answer calls made to the store.

My wife and I each found a pair of bright yellow Adidas Gazelles, one of the hottest colorways this season, for only $29.99 a pair. Considering these usually sell for around $120, it honestly felt unreal. You can barely grab breakfast for that these days, yet we walked away with brand-new Gazelles.

Warm Planet Bikes

There isn't a superlative in my lexicon that can adequately describe how incredible my experience…read morewith Warm Planet Bikes has been. I first reached out to Warm Planet Bikes back in December after realizing my wife and I had a bit of buyer's remorse on our practically brand-new Tern GSD R14 -- it had only 11 miles on the odometer. We decided we really wanted a front-loaded cargo bike instead. Even though Warm Planet doesn't take trade-ins, Kash (the owner) went above and beyond, offering guidance on how to sell the GSD privately and even performing a full tune-up and diagnostic checklist for my buyer. That level of support, especially when there was no immediate sale in it for him, speaks volumes. Then I became the most indecisive, high-maintenance customer imaginable. From December through February, I changed my mind more times than I care to admit. I started out set on a standard Larry vs Harry eBullitt, but then realized our 60-lb Golden Retriever might not be able to comfortably lie down in the front box. That sent me down the rabbit hole. I bounced back and forth between the Yuba Supercargo, the eBullitt X, and the Urban Arrow Family Cargo. At one point I literally laid masking tape on my living room floor to map out the various bucket dimensions to see which one would best fit our dog. Through all of it, Kash was patient, thoughtful, and genuinely helpful. Not once did he pressure me. Not once did he seem annoyed. He just kept offering insight, answering questions, and helping me think through what would truly work best for our family. Kash is truly a diamond in the rough. His kindness and integrity are rare. And Ted, his mechanic, deserves major credit as well. Ted made sure the GSD was in A+ shape for its new owner, and the eBullitt X I finally took home was pristinely assembled. The shifting was buttery smooth, everything dialed, everything perfect. It rode exactly the way a dream cargo bike should. If you want a shop that treats you like a human being instead of a transaction, Warm Planet Bikes is it. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Wearing mine felt like draping a living celebration around my neck. I especially loved the yellow blooms: resilient yet vibrant, they held up effortlessly through a six-hour day without wilting or falling apart. Even now, it's resting on my table, still radiating beauty. These aren't just flowers they're art, memory, and joy all in one. Thank you, Camille, for adding something truly special to my big day. Note: Leis must be picked up and stored 1-2 days in advance, graduation season is Camille's busiest time. Since I ordered seven, I needed extra refrigerator space (luckily, a neighbor had one in their garage). If you're purchasing just one, this likely won't be an issue.

The lawn is always green and beautiful, perfect for letting my fur baby run around and play (or potty) and you will always see people enjoying the space, stretched out reading or talking with friends or just soaking up the peace. One of my favorite things about Union square is the art. The giant hearts are iconic in San Francisco and they're always being repainted and reimagined by different artists, so no matter how many times you come here, you will always see something new. I've seen so many versions over the years but I still stop to look at them every time I'm here because there is always something new. The hearts the statues, the occasional pop-up installations or performances, the square always feels alive. There is also always something going on. On my last visit here there were ping pong tables set up everywhere with people playing. I saw juggling classes being offered and arts programs for kids with people gathered around having a good time. There was a reading area and books brought in on carts. They even still had up there holiday backdrop that looks like it was put there just for people to use for the perfect insta shot. There are plenty of tables and benches scattered around so it's easy to grab a seat and stay a while. Even if you're just passing through and you need to rest your dogs for a few minutes, this is the perfect spot. I spent more than a few afternoons here people watching or enjoying a snack from the little stand nearby. It's really a great place to spend some time and a must do if you are in San Francisco. On the weekends you will find people trying to usher you onto bus tours or maybe sell you souvenirs, but you might also witness an event or see straight performers so you never really know what you're going to get. This is a place for visitors and locals wiith nice surroundings where you can really get a feel for and just to take in the city.

I've had a hard time finding a good bicycle mechanic and I decided to try Castro Valley Cyclery and my first impression was how empty the shop was. Not one single customer, completely empty. I explained, " all I need was a Derailleur adjustment and everything else on the bike was new, so there was nothing wrong except it needs an adjustment" The manager, Tyler Dietrich, tried to sell me a bunch of things and I declined because he was desperate to make a sale and not out of honesty. When I picked up the bike a few days later after receiving a message that it was ready, again I noticed the bike shop was completely empty, 0 customers. I took bike out for a test ride and noticed the adjustment wasn't made. I mentioned to the manager, Tyler Dietrich, and he put it on rack and said there's nothing wrong. I told him, "you need to put a load on the bike and ride it. He rode it around the shop and he realized the shifting wasn't right and said, "there's nothing wrong" He said I need to get new parts and again tried to sell me stuff that wasn't needed. Next he began to get confrontational with me which I didn't understand because I am the customer and I am the one paying for service. I asked for a refund, which he gave me and told me to never come back again. I was shocked. All of you Mountain bikers and road cyclists who likes to have your bikes dialed in, adjusted properly, fine-tuned, DO NOT GO TO THIS BIKE SHOP. You will be disappointed. Trust me. Now it makes sense why their were no customers here. And if you need to buy a new bike go somewhere else. This place isn't worth the headache and frustrations.
