Sapporo has the grid and ease of New York City with the sweet custard charm of San Francisco. I rarely venture north of the JR Station but there's a great brewery where they make beers that surpass the national brands. Beers with full-on flavor, hops, and names like IPA, Vaizen, Pilsner, and Ale. Delicious.
To get there you need to take the subway to Kitanijuuyojou, or North 24th Block. This strip has ramen/udon restaurants, cafes, pachinkos, you name it. This is like 24 heaven; the number appears almost everywhere. I wandered around for a while, slipping on the ice, before meeting up with some teachers.
A word of advice; be wary of browsing a pet shop. I forget how sad it is to see young animals in cubbies separated from people, unable to be touched. They all looked so bored, lonely, and confused.
