Destination

San Francisco is a food lover’s wonderland, a place where inventive chefs roll out exciting menus and where cultural influences collide to create cuisine unique to the region. The best spots to find food include:

 

State Bird Provisions for small plates on an ever-changing menu reflecting the whims and fancies of the kitchen. It’s different here almost every week, but always good.

Beretta, where Italian cuisine meets California ingredients. Tip: Skip the pizza and stick to the excellent small plates. Ask, too, for the secret cocktail menu and save room for the panna gelato with olive oil and sea salt.

 

Coi, where you’ll cough up big bucks for the privilege of a tasting menu that is seasonal, innovative and consistently boundary-pushing.

Commonwealth, set in the Mission District, is easy to pass by if you don’t know where to look. Hint: the nondescript façade says simply, “Restaurant.” The farm-to-table spot is socially minded, with some proceeds going to charity.

 

Nopa, because it’s a sin to go to San Francisco and not eat Mexican food. Here, they serve it organic and farm-to-table style, with a rustic twist thanks to the wood-fired oven.

Where to Find the Best Stargazing Spots in Ireland

This year, the Northern Lights put on quite the display across Ireland, but don’t think these lights are the only thing you can see in Ireland. In fact, many spots across the country provide some of the best opportunities to stargaze thanks to low levels of light pollution. Ireland has three International Dark Sky Parks and even more spots which, although not accredited, are worth a visit for anyone wishing to see the sky in its unfiltered form.
