Breakfast at La Bande at Proper Hotel, San Francisco
If a good thing we can assign to the jet lag is to catch up with Breakfast time. What at home was left in a coffee with milk and a Maria biscuit in a hurry, dresses up abroad when the eyes open wide and a rush of hunger enters the stomach.
The Proper hotel in San Francisco has a novelty in its gastronomic proposal that suits this type of **"early bird" (or insomniac) traveler **: the cafeteria the band , designed to wear the first coffee of the day to an elevator ride from bed.
Here they serve the brand Counter Culture , also available on tap in a nitro cold brew version, and tea from Flowers Teas , arrived from Berkeley.
