San Francisco CVB launches new “Taste†micro-site and blog for foodies
The April 24, 2008 – The San Francisco Convention & Visitors Bureau (SFCVB) has launched a new micro-site dedicated to the pursuit of all things food-related: www.onlyinsanfrancisco.com/taste. San Francisco’s hottest restaurants, a calendar listing of food-related news and events, the history of San Francisco’s many food firsts, chef profiles, and Foodie 411, a weekly insider’s blog by Marcia “the tablehopper” Gagliardi are among the features of the new “Taste†micro site.
Visitors to the site can search the restaurants in the “Food†section by some unique characteristics – inspiring views, al fresco dining, brunch, dining adventures, award winners, and a taste of history – as well as by price, cuisine and neighborhood. The “Drink†section links to wineries, tasting rooms, brew pubs and tap rooms. Foodies may also subscribe to an e-newsletter and enter a sweepstakes to win a trip for two to San Francisco. Taste experiences ranging from special food-related hotel packages to culinary walking tours and wine galleries are also featured on the site.
One of the city’s most popular foodie events, Dine About Town San Francisco, returns June 1 – 15. More than 100 of San Francisco’s most popular restaurants will offer three-course menus for lunch at $21.95 and/or dinner at $31.95. Reservations may be made online at the SFCVB’s Dine About Town Web site
