Looks like I will be at the baseball game in SF on Sunday and could
come by afterward (wouldn't that work out nicely!) I believe the hotel
we are talking about is right where Eddy meets Market St. - I think
there's an alley nearby called Cyril Magnin. There's a Chevy's at 4th
and Howard that might be a good alternative plus various places in the
Metreon. Suppenkuche is up in Hayes Valley so a little far away. I've
never been there but its sister restaurant Speisekammer is here in
Alameda and we frequent it (the owners of both are Alamedans).
