W Hotels Doing WiFi Right?
The signal is free and strong here in the spacious, backless couch riddled lobby of W San Francisco. Of course, W more than likely still mindlessly charges for Internet access up in the guest rooms, but that isn't the point. The point is, back in 2005 when we wanted...

W SF Complete with Etch-A-Sketch
W San Francisco rooms come complete with Etch-A-Sketch. Cool. Wonder if the housekeepers are assigned to shake the Etch-A-Sketch after a guest leaves, or if they let the sketch live on. Would be cool if housekeeping just let it be, so you could leave pictionary type messages for incoming...

Best bartenders in the city. -
Come on a Tuesday night and leave the bartender, Bianca, a huge tip. She is super sexy! -
My other 5th street go to. This place is a gem and possibly the closest replacement to Mars Bar you can find. -
Maddy hearts Bradley! Tip your bartender! -
241 happy hour every day til 8, and awesome movies on Wednesdays :) -
Tip the bartenders well and you'll always b treated well
-
Also, the two heated pipes against the wall do wonders for your back. It's like a hot tub. -
Wear your jacket and don't fall off your stool.
-
$6 PBR and well bourbon happy hour is appealing. As is the 4am and later lock-in where you can convince the bartenders to put on your iPod.

actually John Ross is mayor of fish bar.
