there were two spots near where I lived in the outer haight (inner sunset). I'm going to butcher then name... Persian Zam Zam right on Haight and... dammit... on Irving around 6th street- it had LOTS of clown decoration- mostly paintings and drawings. creepy, not happy.
The Mission has really been cleaned up in the past 20 years. There are still pockets of seediness including 16th and Capp. The Uptown is still a dive and there's a bunch of homeless encampments around 17th and Shotwell.
had a blast at the High Tide in the Tenderloin last time i was in SF.

Looks like two locations in Laurel Heights and Inner Richmond.... any strong bias here?
We've enjoyed Lai Hong Lounge but you have to order off a menu rather than carts. City View always has a line which is a good sign when it comes to Dim Sum. Yank Sing is also very good but more pricey than the typical place.
As others mentioned, take the ferry to Sausalito. Bar Bocce is a cool spot. Get brunch or a drink and an appetizer at any of the places right on the water like Trident, Scomas, Salitos, Spinnaker, Barrell House - all are a little overpriced for decent food, but great views.[icon] said:
. Still go there a few times a year. Was he the martini nazi?
Bruno would 86 patrons for ordering a vodka martini or a dozen other minor offenses. He was polite about it; he'd simply tell people that there was a nice bar down the street (The Achilles Heel) that would serve you that.
We took BART to Powell and walked to the Union Station Hilton for Memorial Day weekend. Super easy.
It's heavy on Belgian beers, which I'm not a huge fan of, but the food is solid and I dig the atmosphere. Would recommend highly.
this is so much fun. You should have dinner at either Luna Blue or Trident. Sam's and Bar Bocce are usually busy if the weather is good. will respond to some of the other questions individually.[icon] said:Booked the 4:50 (last one) Behind the Scenes & Night Tour (included) on Thursday night.
OK, I won't suggest any BBQ or chicken joints.
Is Delicious a counter service place?
Bart is right outside of the international terminal. Super easy to take, and sometimes faster, than uber. The walk is not too bad (i think that is flat). Don't waste the money on uber.
The $10 is well worth avoiding the smelly, disgusting Bart cars, and that's assuming you aren't stuck in one during commute hours or one with the heater stuck in the on position. Bart is ####### awful.
lol... I could never remember if it was a gin or vodka martini he favored. got booted out of there half the time.
There is a ton of truth to this. Good thing about starting at SFO is that you get a seat and it really is not that far (30 or so minutes to downtown).
Wasn't there a sandwich shop/deli in the city where the owner would kick you out if you didn't order properly? I went there years ago with a local that showed me how to order. We watched tourist after tourist get kicked out for make a mistake ordering. Good Italian sandwich from what i can remember.
melampo in west soho. had to line up just so, AND DON'T ####### ASK FOR ANYTHING THAT ISN'T EXACTLY HOW IT IS ON THE MENU.
... dumbfounded it's still running. always dominated the pink section in the chron, and I remember hitting the age where I was absorbing as much culchah as possible, and I'd ask my folks why we hadn't seen it. "it's... uh.... for tourists".
Downside to Behind the Scenes / Night tour is I am working until 3pm, changing, then we are getting on the ferry at 4:45 and not coming back until 9:30. Not really time for dinner aside from a quick street food grab before the ferry. Guessing it's BYOFood on the island. I have to be up at 5am the next Morning so a 10:00-midnight dinner is not an option.
Boston area born and raised.... lived in Memphis the last 20yrs or so. However I travel pretty extensively so favor lots of different cuisines (Cajun/Creole, french, Japanese, thai, Vietnamese, Cuban, etc.). I love good seafood as well, but understand it will be exhorbitantly priced in SF area.
Yeah.... We will have been traveling for 7.5hrs with a considerable amount of baggage (have some work #### too), so navigating the unwashed masses on public transport then lugging several bags through a half mile guantlet of city pedestrians isn't worth the $10 to me. Assuming Uber of Lyft picks up at SFO that will be the play.
They do. If you are walking down to ferry (probably a 20-30 minute walk from you) then you can either go to china town, somewhere quick in the financial district or at the ferry building itself. There are several decent places in the ferry building depending on how much time you have.
Tell her to go on one of the bus city tours. They are very touristy but actually quite informative and a lot of fun. Trolly is fun going up California as well.
Can someone explain why La Taqueria is the best? I'm reading reviews and looking at pics but not sure what makes it different/better? I'm in L.A. so I've had Mexican food from street vendors, trucks, restaurants, homes, and Grand Central Market. I've also been to Mexico and San Diego to eat multiple times... Is it really that much better?
Being an LA guy as well, it is not any better than a million burrito places we have here. A bunch of pasty white people think it is great. It is good but not great IMO.
I'm part Hispanic (though a bit pasty) and I say it's the best. What more do you need?
Never having tried it, I'm curious as to what exactly that reason is. Which is why I inquired about what sets it apart.
