In 2016 I dined and wrote about José Andrés Group’s Zaytinya... Zaytinya Palo Alto opened 12/25, the 1st NorCal location. Serving dishes from Turkey, Greece & Lebanon with Cali ingredients, here's my rundown of the 6th version of the restaurant: virginiamiller.substack.com/p/where-to-eat…

@pitdesi Agree to disagree. Travel there annually, and it’s the smoothest, cleanest and (one of the most) engaging airports out there given the mall. Only surpassed by Istanbul Turkish Airlines lounge in my travels.

Unpopular opinion: Changi is the most overrated airport in the world. It’s beautiful, but is excessively optimized for shoppers rather than travelers. Security is at each gate so non-travelers can shop, but gate security is the worst - creates bottlenecks and you're trapped.

@pitdesi Actually think it could be headphones with a forward facing camera - not everyone wants something on their face, but everyone will wear an earpiece. And contextual audio will be a game changer in business and personal contexts.

@Nrcoope I just worked at SoHo Warehouse in LA, and didn’t feel cool enough to be there. Surprised they’d didn’t kick me out just for not being a hipster. Take it as a badge of honor!

@eladgil Partial to Citizen M - reasonable prices. Muni and BART right outside the door. And not far enough into Union Sq that it feels dangerous. Easy jaunt to Waterfront/Ferry Building, Mission, SoMa, or other foodie friendly areas.

What are the best nice hotels in SF at which to stay? If you are optimizing for -Seeing the city (good food,... ) -Being safe (low crime, can actually walk out the door with minimal fear of random event) These may be two different spots. Suggestions?

@semil We have a local ‘fixer’ for Tuscany - his fam are the biggest winemakers in Italy & they own some gastrotourism spots. San Sebastián is amazing - most Michelin stars per capita in the world. Some of the rando places serve the most amazing stuff too, like Bar Nestor. Google it.

Q1: How would you rank "your" Top 5 food cities across the US/global, and why? I'm most interested in your personal POV, not what you hear from others. Thanks!

@semil Barcelona, Tokyo, Paris, San Francisco, San Sebastián, Tuscany (region) - there’s lots of ‘side quests’ with each of these cities too, like going to small towns nearby for local, regional cuisine (ie taking the train to Dijon or Beaune from Paris)

@msuster So awful Mark, and sorry for all the challenges you and your neighbors will face. The LA tech community is here to support! And let me know if you need a place to watch the Eagles crush KC in the Super Bowl with another Philly native!

I know & accept the news moved on from the Palisades Fire. 🔥 Update: Most of us are still in hotels or Airbnbs. Even if your house is standing there isn’t potable water or gas or electricity My home burned but didn’t burn down. This is my neighbor 🧵
