Project Link: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1147214836/toc-guide-to-sf

We’re making a guide to SF. It’s different than other guides because:

-It all fits on a single piece of A3 tear-resistant waterproof Tyvek, and folds in a magical way to the size of a credit card.

-Many guides have a subtext or a demographic in mind. Wallpaper are guides for designers, Michelin is a guide for people who only eat at restaurants that have cloth napkins. Some guides even charge places a fee to be listed! Everything in the TOC guide is there simply because we love it. Different things will appeal to different people, but there is something for everyone.

-We are being utterly ruthless about what to include. The restaurants we’ve picked are places that visibly care about doing everything perfectly. For example, the first restaurant to be included is a Sichuan place that goes through 30 pounds of imported peppers every day, and has a chef who used to cook for the Chinese premier. When we forgot our credit card there once, the owner called us and offered to hand-deliver it that night.

-We don’t care at all about : trendiness, coverage of specific categories (ex: SF doesn’t have any truly great sushi, so there are no sushi places in our guide)

-The map comes with access to our Twitter concierge, who can help people choose where to go, make reservations, and deal with any unexpected problems in their trip.
