I went to Spenger's about four months ago and it just isn't the same. They use new low fat ingredients in the Clam Chowder and it just doesn't taste the same as it used to. I talked to an old lady who has worked there for more then 25 years, and she filled me in on the changes.

Crustacean in SF is delicious! Web Link

I agree with Scoma's on the warf. and if Crustaceans is anything like their other restaurant, Thanh Long, i'll give them a thumbs up too. the garlic roasted crab at thanh long is good.

for cigar shops, there is Burlingame Tobacconist's, in Burlingame. Also there is Broadway Tobacconist's in Redwood City.
