For old time's sake, I still go there once in a while, and still enjoy it very much. The bartender there used to make a Manhattan exactly the way I liked it and never with the cherry!
cheers - yeah, Izzy’s is still great and bonus for open table. I bet that even their prime rib au jus is better than house of prime rib. Not as good as but better. Of course I’d have to order it first, but even the prime rib at original Joe’s is pretty great. I can see the value of just going to Izzy’s when in pac heights.
the old San Francisco still had severe income inequality, severe homeless tent life, and severe traffic. What it lacked was a wealth of sushi & Wagyu, a better selection of breweries and draft beer, better donut choices, and more car services so that we didn’t have to deal with so many drunk drivers. It used to be so hard to get taxis and sometimes I’d have to walk miles in the middle of the night to get home. Now I can drunkenly enjoy 2a donuts, knowing that some phone clicks will get me home.
