weird fish.



There's nothing weird about the fish at this little restaurant. The fish and chips are the best, and the pomegranate mimosas are delectable. The french fries are a perfect mix of yams and potatoes and there are endless vegetarian options. Brunch is served daily.

This quirky eco-friendly restaurant is stylish and affordable.



I was happy to find that Weird Fish keeps to its nautical theme in the bathroom!






Treasure?



This place is good. Really good.



Weird fish is located at 2193 Mission Street (at 18th) in the Mission district.

my 'other' potty..

My boyfriend lives with 3 other boys, and they all share THIS potty. It's a little different than the one at my house. One difference is the cleanliness, or lack there of. Another difference is the usual position of the seat... UP.



One nice thing about the boys' bathroom is that it looks really cool! The retro peach and teal tile throughout the bathroom, and design of the fixtures give this potty a unique old-fashioned look. When the boys first moved into the house, the bathroom was the main attraction - "Dude, you gotta check out the bathroom." There are 3 different entrances to it, and people are always running into each other in there. Not only is the boys' bathroom a potty spot, it's a place to socialize! ?

my potty.

Alright, so i've been to a lot of places. I've seen a lot of potties. But the potty I see the most is the one that's in the place where I reside. Yes, my house. My potty.

I live with four other girls, and usually all of their boyfriends. This potty has a lot of personality and history. We painted it gold, black and white and every week we take turns cleaning it, well that is our intent.
I love my potty, it's nice.



cha cha cha.

Cha Cha Cha is a fun place, it's literally a jungle in there! The place is decorated like a jungle with crazy things on the walls and colorful bright floral table covers. The sangria is great, at 12 dollars a pitcher. The menu is tapas style-ish, and there are some really tasty treats there. They have a cajun shrimp dish, that come with bread to dip in the delicious sauce that comes with it.

Most importantly though, the jungle theme doesn't stop at the bathroom.





Cha Cha Cha is located at Haight and Shrader.

pauline's pizza.

Pauline's Pizza isn't just your regular pizza place. Using mostly organic ingredients, and even providing an all vegan pizza if desired - Pauline's serves up a fancy pizza! Well, not black tie fancy but it's nice. Each table has a cup of crayons on it so people can doodle on the table while they are waiting for there pizza.





Although the pizza isn't fancy black tie, some might say that the bathroom of Pauline's is exactly that.
The potty looks as if its a throne. The stairs to walk up to the potty make you feel like royalty!



There's even a chandelier in there!






Pauline's Pizza is located on Valencia between 14th and 15th.

zam zam.

This little bar looks like a Persian fairytale-like cave. The place is pretty tiny, but that adds to the cozy romantic vibe. Each candlelit table is surrounded by comfortable seating. The actual bar itself is truly the centerpiece of Zam Zam because it looks cartoonish and beautiful. The bar is lit up and decorated as a Persian scene, it's really an unexpected treat coming off of Haight Street.

The bathroom is decorated less Persian-y but it's still bright and pretty.









Aub Zam Zam is located at Haight and Clayton.

sacred grounds.

The Sacred Grounds is a quiet lounge-cafe where you can sit with your laptop or book and not be bothered. There are couches and benches with tables set up to give the feeling that you are just at someone's house, in a really big living room. Fridays and Saturdays there is live music, and on Wednesday evenings poetry readings are held.

The vibe is really laid-back and low key. And so is the toilet! The bathroom is located behind the counter and kitchen. To get to the potty, you have to walk past the person making someone's bagel or espresso drink.





There are collaged pieces of different wallpaper from the 1970s covering the walls.









The Sacred Grounds is located at Hayes and Cole.
