Open Your Golden Gate

Legend has it
Francis Ford Coppola sometimes lets himself into the kitchen
To make himself a pizza.

There's a strip club across the street

And an adult novelty shop next door.

The pasta is sublime

And the wine's not to shabby either.

The hostess knows most of the customers by name.

This is Old San Francisco.

The San Francisco of Bullitt

And Dirty Harry.

Before the nouveaus showed up.

When it wasn't called venture capital;

It was just money.

 We share a bottle of wine

And a cannoli

And go book shopping at City Lights.
