Hip, beautiful. In my opinion, the best coffee and espresso available on Cortland--we go several times a week. Small selection of really nice baked goods. No wi-fi.

I had the BEST home fries of my life here. And lemon-ricotta pancakes. Seriously, this was some of the best food we've ever eaten. There's always a wait, but we've never regretted it. Put your name on the list, grab a coffee from Farley's up the block, and sit on a bench and peoplewatch till it's your turn.

Some of the best Japanese food I've had in SF. Flavors and clean and fresh. Not your average rolls-and-teriyaki joint.

An entirely unique place. A worker-owned cooperative grocery. They have every kind of whole-food, bulk, hard-to-find ingredient you could ever hope for--as long as it doesn't contain meat. A godsend for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, specialty items. Also blessed with a glorious cheese counter and truly gorgeous fruits and vegetables. Also has a vitamin/bath/body/kitchen section that I regularly lose an hour browsing. A cultural experience!

Right in the center of Golden Gate Park; just beyond the museums, so parking is usually much easier. You can walk around the lake (it's about a mile), rent a paddleboat, or rent bikes. A good base for exploring the rest of the park.

It's glorious. Anywhere you enter the park, you're instantly in another world. The entrance near 9th Avenue and Lincoln is a good place to start--walk in and you're immediately near the Arboretum and the museums.

Sightseeing

Great for a bit of exercise--Start out in North Beach and climb the hill up to the tower. Gives you amazing 360-degree views of the Bay and the City. There are also amazing murals up at the top, painted during the 30s.

Farmer's Market on Saturdays, great gourmet shopping and eating every day of the week. Smashing views of the Embarcadero waterfront and the Bay Bridge. Hop a ferry here to Alcatraz, Angel Island, or across to Sausalito.
