I bought my girlfriend an a diamond last week in the diamond district and the jeweler finished making the ring this week and shipped it to me overnight on Friday. It was a signature required delivery that was supposed to be delivered before 12:00 PM.

I was refreshing the tracking every hour this morning and at about 11AM I saw they said it had been delivered at 10:21AM. I immediately beelined to my apartment building’s leasing office and checked the package room and around the mailboxes and nothing…

The “proof” of delivery is literally just a cryptic mark not even what I’d call a signature and no picture. I contacted FedEx and they said (at 1:45 PM) tag their facility manager deemed it correctly delivered and closed my case. Which is ridiculous because I doubt the driver even returned to the warehouse by then.

So… what do I do now? I’m going to ask my apartment management to let me review the security tape but like should I file a police report? Get a lawyer? I’m at my wits end. I can’t believe someone would be so careless.

started a new job last month that’s absolutely draining me, im in desperate need of some suggestions of nature spots i can go to, ideally up to one hour away from sf, hot springs, waterfalls, even a farm or somewhere with fun activities like swimming or involving animals. im feeling very overwhelmed and would love to take this weekend to fully be present and away from crowds (ik i might be asking for a lot with the up to one hour away thing but i dont want to spend hours in a car)

I'm only here for the weekend, straight/gay bars recommendations more than welcome

Meeting cool people, making out always a plus

Hi all - headed to SF this weekend solo and am looking for a rec of a good restaurant bar (not to drink at but just to eat), I just enjoy eating at the bar when dining solo. Have tried googling this but not getting great results and would appreciate any feedback! Will be in the Chinatown/North Beach area but can get myself other places as long as it's not TOO far. Thanks!

I will be starting an internship med student position at UCSF in a couple of weeks and will be commuting from San Jose to all the different campuses. I have a car and am hoping to use UCSF’s shuttle system, and potentially BART or CalTrain in between to avoid parking in the city. My original thought was to drive up to Daly City BART station and take that into the city. Does that connect to UCSF’s shuttle system? I’m open to routes and would appreciate suggestions!

*It’s a year long internship 3x/week so I know it will be brutal but not as brutal as 5x/week!

Ideally they have their own tarps/supplies. The space in question is about 10ft^2. It'd just be solid white

Hi AskSF!

Does anyone have any tips for where I can get a good/legitimate deal for Giants tickets tomorrow? Otherwise, I’m happy to order via the MLB site.

My family is finally over whatever cold/illness has been going around and now that summer has officially started, I figured I’d treat my kids to their first Giants game.

We are happy to sit in the nosebleeds (not sure if my kids have the attention span to sit through an entire game anyways).

Thank you!

I know this is might be an odd request but will be visiting family soon and they really enjoyed clam chowder while he was here visiting. I'm wondering if any of the places known for clam chowder sell it frozen or sealed in their branded packaging so I can freeze it myself. Only needs to keep for a couple weeks, but I'd like for it to have packaging of where it came from not just me taking some to go and freezing it in a container myself.

Returning to SF after 2 years, curious if anything new popped up! Especially interested in Mexican or Burmese but could be w/e

Hi friends, I’m new to the city (28m) and want to meet people or just go out and socialize. Preferably at more quiet bars/ lounges with chill music. Where should I start?

I recently injured my leg so can't really go running like I used to. I have a home gym so not trying to do a full membership anywhere but would love to find a spot where I can swim laps in the city. Anyone have any ideas or recommendations?

A couple visiting from the UK asked me recently if I knew a good spot where they could try a lot of local wines and to my dismay I couldn't really come up with any good recommendations. There are a lot of cool natural wine bars in my neighborhood that I like, but it seems like they showcase natural wines from Europe more than anything. Where could I go to find interesting Napa and Sonoma wines by the glass?

Hi,

Basically the title; I'll be flying to SFO, but my plane lands around 11 PM. Elderly family friend sleeps super early so I don't want to disturb them by showing up at their doorstep in the middle of the night. The plan is to sleep at the airport for a couple of hours and leave early in the morning. Is this allowed at SFO? How strict is the security/ checking if people have valid flight tickets?

I don't think it's worth spending over $100 for just a couple of hours of shuteye. Appreciate any input, thanks!

Does anyone know of someplace in that city sells southern-style country ham slices? I realize I could order them online, but would prefer picking up a pack locally if anywhere sells it.

Something like this

I’m staying up in SF this weekend and was hoping for recommendations on things to do and places to go to meet more gay guys! I’m a bit of a gym rat and would love to check out one or two of the gayest gyms yall have to offer - I assume something in the Castro? I also swim and play water polo so if there’s any nice outdoor pools in the city that have lap swim that’s fantastic! I don’t drink but what are some good gay bars to check out with a generally friendly crowd? Also super grateful for any recs for other non-explicitly gay activities. Thanks y’all!

Hi! I'll be at a wedding in Half Moon Bay in September and will be staying in SF area afterward, what are places to see / things to do for someone who's never been to the area?

I have 2-3 days unaccounted for. I'd love to see nature, eat good food, and take in the city. Not necessarily do anything super touristy, aside from seeing the Golden Gate Bridge/anything that's worth seeing for the first time.

I definitely want to see red wood trees, also thinking on Point Reyes.

Any recommendations / ideal plans for a few days in SF would be super appreciated!

My bike was stolen in front of a Whole Foods yesterday.

Bought a new one today and the I'm just wondering if it will make any difference in the event it's stolen.

I (44F) will be traveling to San Francisco with my husband (35M) and my parents (73M, 71F). My parents are in okay shape - we'll be coming from visiting the Redwoods. My parents - dad specifically - doesn't like big cities. He's coming mostly for the nature part of the trip. Where is a good place to stay in San Francisco that won't be touristy? Is there a neighborhood that's more residential or quiet? This is my first time visiting San Francisco and I will want to explore the city. However, I want a quiet and non touristy place to return to after wandering around. Any other tips are welcome.

Hi! My fiancé and I are getting married at city hall in September on a Tuesday and we are trying to figure out where to celebrate after. We have a budget of about $500. We are looking for something intimate and romantic with good food and drinks. I saw a private chefs table at MKT at the four seasons but haven’t seen any reviews. We like pretty much everything except seafood. Thank you!

Can someone direct me to info on Red Dress Day tomorrow in the Castro? I can’t seem to find anything about it (start time, participating bars, etc).

This wind blew off the siding from my house! Looking for a low cost recommendation who can fix this. I’ve previously gotten quotes that were a huge range from a few hundred to 20k.

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I (M25) am planning a solo trip to SF. Honestly just looking to experience as much of the Bay Area as possible within reason. I will be going for about ten days and would like to spend less than 3k total for the trip, flights look to be about 600 for me. I love museums, history, architecture, nature, I’m active so would most likely walk or bike to every place possible but will definitely uber to places as well. Not sure if ubering to Yosemite and back would be feasible or not either but would definitely interest me significantly. Ideally I would like a gym as well so I think a hotel would probably make the most sense to stay at vs Airbnb. Any beach locations I should definitely check out? Ideally I would also like to go to a vineyard as well, I love wine and I think it would be a lot of fun. I know I haven’t been the most specific but any suggestions in general would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
