You's Dim Sum in Chinatown is better than all of them. It's definitely a hole in the wall kind of place, but that's part of its charm.
Golden Boy Pizza is hands down the best pizza in San Francisco. In North Beach, it’s one of the coolest spots to grab a drink and a square! Yep, they serve by the square!

For dinner and a movie, head to Foreign Cinema. The food is amazing, and they screen foreign and indie films on the courtyard walls!
On a hot sunny day, Baker Beach is where you’ll find me. It's located in the Presidio, and offers spectacular views of the Golden Gate Bridge and Land's End.

The Embarcadero is my favorite place to run in the city. I like to start at AT&T park (Go Giants!) and jog all the way to the bridge!
Mission Cliffs Climbing Gym is the best place to go for a fun workout! It is located in the Mission and has both belay and bouldering options.

Upcider is a fun and cozy spot offering a wide variety of hard ciders, beers, wine, and delectable bites. All enjoyed while overlooking the lively Polk Street!
Top of The Mark is your perfect excuse to get dressed up and go out for the evening.This historic spot offers wonderful views of the city

Lucky Strikes Lanes has state-of-the-art bowling lanes, giant screens to watch your favorite sports team, and a 40-foot bar mixing your favorite cocktails.
Live at The RRAZZ is where I go for the best cabaret, jazz, comedy, and music entertainment. They offer everything from Deana Martin to Jefferson Starship!
