Eastern Market: Round 1
This past weekend I spent an afternoon strolling about Eastern Market, tasting many a delicious treat and dispelling my own personal and entirely baseless conviction that the market is over-hyped. In fact, it was swell – see below.

The three hours you have between dinner reservations will give you serious anxiety and you will have to just drive on the freeway to deal with it. Just be desensitized to everything going around you. Always make sure you look fabulous. All the time you would ordinarily spend on cultivating a personality, you use for grooming. A well-groomed person always gives the impression that they care. It’s a great trick.”
