Hunger finally took over our bodies so we scurried over to PAPALOTE 1117 Fulton @ Masonic to enjoy their CHICKEN ADOBO BURRITOs with their ROASTED TOMATO SALSA.






Then we made our way to HAYES VALLEY to visit our PEOPLE over at AZALEA.





The AZALEA SF (411 Hayes St, SF 94102) cluster is a juxtaposition of three boutiques located in the Hayes Valley district of San Francisco. AZALEA began as one store that grew into multiple boutiques WELCOME STRANGER and RAND + STATLER (only a month old).



The AZALEA SF is more on the contemporary side for both men and woman mostly retailing the basics and denim. AZALEA also sells HAN CHOLO.
