A mix of you-gotta-do-it tourist attractions and true Bay Area institutions that live up to the hype
Photo-Illustration: The Strategist; Photos: Tyler Bainbridge Everyone knows that person who spends weeks sniffing around travel blogs, going deep into Tripadvisor rabbit holes, collecting Google docs from friends of friends, and creating A Beautiful Mind–style spreadsheets to come up with the best vacations and itineraries possible.
4 p.m.: … Then order a fake Negroni Someone else told me that Marios’ Bohemian Cigar Store has a great negroni, and that’s what I was looking forward to. I don’t know if that person just misremembered, but they don’t even have Campari at Mario’s, or gin, so there’s definitely no negroni. But they did have a special cocktail called the “House Campari” that hit the spot. I liked it so much that I bugged the bartender for the recipe — turns out it’s Prosecco mixed with a few aperitifs.
5 p.m.: Arrive in an old logging town The couple getting married recommended the Westport Inn for the weekend. This was a really nice and cute hotel with a cabin vibe. Our room came with some snacks, wine glasses, water, a full tub, a TV, and Wi-Fi — which you’ll need if you want to work on your newsletter or browse Instagram because there’s no cell service in Westport. Make sure to take a look at the Westport Whale next door. It’s just a big sculpture of a whale that’s in someone’s yard.
3 p.m.: Attend a wedding at an 1880s farmhouse After a few hours of taking in the scenery, I went back to the inn and put on my chocolate cotton double-breasted suit from Stoffa and my Drake’s tie and walked over to Switzer Farm, where the wedding was being held. If you’re reading this, you may not be going to a wedding here, but it’s a lovely cliffside farmhouse built in 1884 that was once photographed by Ansel Adams.
Day 5 11 a.m. Wake up with pastries and matcha We slept in a bit and went to Tartine Bakery for breakfast, which was incredible. We got a chocolate croissant and a ham and cheese croissant. It was so, so, so good. Jennie loves matcha, so we went to Stonemill Matcha right around the corner. Matcha has always struck me as a kind of trendy VSCO-girl-era beverage, but I gotta say, this was great. I think the moral of the story here is that I should stop hating on things.
8 p.m.: Drink wine at Bar Part Time I’ve been a fan of these guys since before there was a bar to be a fan of, back when they were just slinging bottles of wine out of their cars and making killer merch. I wanted to say what’s up to one of the bar’s owners, Jeremy, who was a very early Perfectly Imperfect guest, but he had just gone home for the day. We hung out there for a long time and had a few glasses — a lot — of delicious wine before heading home for the night.
