Come to think of it even when I liked going out and drinking, I did not like going to downtown SF
Downtown SF (union square / fidi) has always been a place you kind of somehow have to go to and then fuck off to Chinatown or TL for food and fun after.
It’s only gotten worse now that there aren’t the same no of international tourists. I swear I spend most of my welcome to the U.S. chats with foreign friends saying ‘unless you’re in New York City.. downtown is.. not the downtown you know’
