If you do end up going to the Greek place, here are some recommendations off its menu:

Appetizers

Gigantes - oven-baked giant beans with tomato sauce, olive oil & herbed feta

Dolmathes - grape leaves stuffed with rice, currants & pine nuts

Briami - traditional oven-baked summer vegetables with oregano & garlic

Soutzoukakia - grilled meatballs with tomato & green olive compote

Melitzanosalata, Tzatziki

Salads

Horiatiki - classic Greek salad of tomato, cucumber, bell pepper, onion, oregano, olives & feta

Main course

Psari Psito - traditional grilled whole fish with braised greens, lemon & Cretan olive oil or wood oven roasted with Greek olives, saffron potatoes & roasted tomatoes

Katsikaki Yuvetsi - stewed goat with orzo, tomato, spices, artichoke & feta

If you do decide on the goat, make sure it's fresh and not frozen. And remember to have a sip of Ouzo diluted in cold water as an aperitif.

"cikis yok" means no exit. "den" means from. So, the whole phrase implies no escape from the person named Ali Sami Yen.


Ali Sami Yen is the stadium where Galatasaray play their soccer. And yes, absolutely correct.

There's a great place that sells woks there.
I bought one for Christmas.
Assuming that a wok shop is your sort of thing.

Methinks you will have to be more specific than this... I can think of about 50000 different places to get woks in SF. And that's Chinatown alone.
