#Farallon

[evan-collins90]

Farallon restaurant - 450 Post Street, San Francisco, CA (opened June 1997 - closed 2020)

"Farallon is named after a fishing island off the Pacific coast.

The underwater fantasy theme drives the $4 million restaurant. The electric atmosphere grabs customers the minute they walk through the glass doors framed by a brushed steel and Lucite canopy, which vaguely looks like a scallop shell. Giant jellyfish chandeliers hang from the high ceiling. The walls are textured with shellfish impressions, and lighted yellow pillars that climb the walls are imprinted with seaweed. And that's just the bar.

The big main dining room is more elegant, but maintains the marine motif. Tiny tiles form mosaics on the ceiling, where two huge light fixtures are formed into seashells. Even the hood over the kitchen carries out the theme: It's covered in copper scales. And suspended over the counter are beautiful blown-glass lights shaped like fish.

A gracefully curving staircase leading to the mezzanine is covered in 50,000 blue-black glass beads that resemble magnified caviar, while the wall sconces replicate stands of coral and barnacles."

Excellent examples of the 'Org-Nouveau' style popular in the 1990's

Facades of Farallon: Catdad's

Artisanal, organic, free-trade felines. Also a maid cafe, for some reason. Catdad owns the cafe, but other than chat with customers, it's not clear what he does.

The food is surprisingly good, if a bit simple. Manner does all the cooking. As long as the dishes are all cat-themed, Catdad doesn't seem to care about the menu anyway.

'What we've done, Captain, is to recreate a situation similar to the one the exocomp encountered in the plasma conduit.' - laforge

'We have created a small conduit breach in this tube. The exocomp would normally require several minutes to complete a repair of this type. Once it enters the tube, it will find that a plasma cascade failure is in progress.' - data

'If it does possess a survival instinct, as Mister Data claims, it will exit the tube before the minute is up in order to save itself.' - farallon

Grateful for the Sea and a big announcement!

The enormous and deeply unknown blue awakens me; it is all powerful, yet vulnerable like us all, to toxicity. I have been in recovery mode and all the while learning and creating, trying to figure things out, and then I remember to take a deep breath, let that go, and embrace the now. BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! I’m overwhelmed by the curators decision to include my piece, “It is Change,” in the de Young…

Facades of Farralon: Woomy's (無名) Farallon's take on chicken and waffles. Popcorn chicken and bubble waffles are staples. Their signature dish is the 'Woomy Sando,' popcorn chicken dusted with sour plum, served in a bubble waffle with sweet pickles. They have a pretty extensive boba menu, it's not the best. Try the sweet tea with mint jelly though.

Herman Herzog - Fisherman's Bay, South Farallon Island, 1875.

[strictlyfavorites]

A fisherman spotted her just east of the Farallon Islands (outside the Golden Gate) and radioed for help. Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined that she was so badly off, the only way to save her was to dive in and untangle her…. a very dangerous proposition. One slap of the tail could kill a rescuer.

They worked for hours with curved knives and eventually freed her.

When she was free, the divers say she swam in what seemed like joyous circles. She then came back to each and every diver, one at a time, nudged them, and pushed gently, thanking them. Some said it was the most incredibly beautiful experience of their lives.

The guy who cut the rope out of her mouth says her eye was following him the whole time, and he will never be the same.

May you be so fortunate to be surrounded by people who will help you get untangled from the things that are binding you.

And, may you always know the joy of giving and receiving gratitude

I was looking at Google maps in the bay area and I saw the Farallon islands and I just have to say

The Myst remake looks great!
