For one thing, women in the San Francisco Bay Area tend to hate it when you generalize about broads.
Using broad generalizations, how would one describe residents of the San Francisco Bay Area?

Deano’s answer to: “What are the best brunch places in Berkeley that don’t have a wait on the weekends?”
The Bacon Lettuce and Trout sandwich at Sea Salt on San Pablo feels brunchy to me for some reason, and that place is almost never crowded despite a quite delicious seafood menu.

Deano’s answer to: “Is 26th & Alabama a good part of the Mission to live in?”
Repeat after me:
- 16th
- Dolores
- 24th
- Potrero
Anywhere inside of that box, yay. Outside of it, meh, or even, yikes!
Now, if you and your friends are all commuting to Burlingame for work or something, it is quite convenient to the highway… Really, if you're that far from the BART, and not working out of your house, you'll probably have a much better experience if you have a car… Not, mind you, that you'll be able to reliably park it nearby, or anything. 🙂
Deano’s answer to: “What public restroom in San Francisco affords the most privacy to its users?”
The "Family Restroom" on the basement floor of Bloomingdales in the Westfield mall is a single toilet lockable room, with a fairly irregular/low volume traffic pattern. It's hidden just behind the kids' clothing section (walk past the TV/game stations, take a right, and it's right in front of you, next to a water fountain.

Deano’s answer to: “How do I get windsurfing lessons in the bay area?”
Windsurfing has definitely taken a solid back seat to kiteboarding, so it is actually a bit more of a challenge than it was, say, 10 years ago.
That said, one of the best places to learn is Boardsports School in Alameda, CA: http://boardsportsschool.com/win…
Located in the middle of Alameda's Crown Memorial Beach, Boardsports is a great place to learn a wide variety of surf-related sports (including the aforementioned kiteboarding, and stand-up paddle boarding) – the combination of the enclosed bay, plus a water depth of no greater than 5-6 feet even a few hundred yards from shore makes for an ideal training ground.
The main difficulty, in fact, is the irregularity of available wind power as compared to a coastal launch point. Still, it's a rare weekend that you won't find windsurfers and kiteboarders in abundance here, zipping back and forth, learning various tricks, and just generally having a good time.
Tell them Dean sent you, and watch their puzzled look as they haven't a clue what you mean.
