The best soup dumpling in San Francisco. Each time we visit NorCal, this is a must-stop. If you have the time, we encourage you to chow down here!

Tomales Point Trailhead

One of our favorite hikes! Beautiful hiking trails, ocean views, and sandy beaches. We would highly recommend! We spent Josh's 22nd birthday there.

Naan n Curry

(925) 825-6226

Hands-down this is our favorite restaurant in the East Bay Area. The VERY BEST Chicken Tikka Masala! It pairs extremely well with a movie night and a puzzle (as is our typical routine when visiting NorCal). If you visit one new restaurant--let this be it!

The Escape Game

(415) 940-7808

Whether with family, friends, or a date night, we LOVE escape rooms. The mystery, the challenge, the experience...they are so fun! The Escape Game is one of our favorite escape room games as we have done them in SF and FL. The games are unique and are always done extremely well--definitely try "The Playground",

B. Patisserie Bakery

A high-ranking pastry shop in SF. Josh's all-time favorite dessert lives here: a chocolate banana almond croissant. There is nothing but delicious items located here--please visit and try their world-famous kouign amanns!

The Orpheum or Golden Gate Theatre

(888) 746-1799

The goal is to always see a Broadway show...however, we like to do rush tickets for the adrenaline rush. Check out TodayTix to unlock $40 rush tickets to an incredible show in SF. This is probably one of our favorite things to do while visiting the city. We truly enjoy seeing magic happen on stage and love the excitement of winning tickets!

Leonidas: Love + Chocolate Shop

1397 N Main St, Walnut Creek, CA 94596, USA
(925) 932-6666

It would not be a stop in NorCal without visiting Kira's favorite hot chocolate spot! They have amazing Belgian chocolate and a ton of other fun sweets. Plus! It's in downtown Walnut Creek which is always a must when in town.
