Life in the Time of COVID-19

Given the shelter-in-place directives for the Bay Area, we're obviously hitting pause on tours for the foreseeable future. That said, as a small business we appreciate guests buying gift certificates or signing up for tours for later in 2020.

Food is an essential service: Many restaurants are providing home delivery and takeout options. To support the local industry, consult this list, compiled by former guide Sean Timberlake, or this one from the San Francisco Chronicle.

Tough times call for stiff drinks. May we suggest the Quarantini? Bonus points for using a thermometer as a swizzle stick. Best served chilled and shared over a video chat service of your preference for a virtual happy hour. Cheers all!

Who knew hand sanitizer would become such a coveted item? Kudos to guide Tori Ritchie for suggesting it long before the virus crisis hit. We'll have it with us when tours start up again. Until then: Stay well. Eat well. Be well. And keep in touch!

Sign up for our COVID-19 Quarantine Cocktail Classes, in partnership with top mixologist Dolly Valdez Bautista of Hawker Fare in San Francisco. Cheers!
