Affogato

I'm Meeting Becky today for dinner, which is a rare moment considering she lives all the way in Las Vegas. I am so glad we were able to make a dinner meet-up work out while she was here for the weekend.

I left my apartment early to accommodate for the long train ride getting to the city and the walk/bus ride of getting to the restaurant (The Stinking Rose, a garlic restaurant), but then as I exited the door, I impulsively decided to drive. Now that I'm here, I almost wish I hasn't acted so impulsively as this will cost me double what traveling would have coated otherwise. And I arrived really early. -_-"

In the meantime, I decided to stop in this cafe I randomly found called Cafe Greco. And decided to try this lovely concoction: an affogato, which was another impulsive item of the day.






I had only heard of affogato from Kitchen Confidential. As I have now learned, affogato is an espresso with gelato. So if you like coffee ice cream, this would be the more decadent version. It's wonderful.

I sometimes wonder if I could live in the city and I still don't know the answer. The hustle and bustle of so many people makes the place so lively but at the same time, a bit too chaotic for me. I am not one for crowds.

But a good thing about San Francisco and cities in general is places like these where you can just order a drink and take a seat outside.

Cafe Greco is in North Beach, which is where Little Italy and Chinatown border each other.
