Chicken Sandwich with a refreshing Lemon Ice! Lines are crazy during peak (lunch) hours-- everyday!
Angelo's poached eggs is my favorite. Croissants are amazing. The cafe au lait is must have at every visit.
Still one of the top pizzas in SF. Plus, the wine list is spectacular if you're into big Italian reds.
This little bakery is hailed by locals and is well worth the long wait in line. Nothing beats sweets for your sweetie, especially if it’s the signature bread pudding or the banana cream tart. #vday
Chef Chris Cosentino is a high priest of guts. Once a year he sets aside two nights to do a special 5-course, all-gut menu. – Anthony Bourdain, No Reservations

Grab a “cheddar head” sandwich and a beer and sit at one of the tables or, grab a chunk to go and embark on a nice long bread-and-cheese binge in the privacy of your own home. Leia mais.
This place is all about the uber-baristas, so stick with lattes & cappuccinos. Skip the ice coffee (which is often bitter and full of grinds) and the house coffee.

Go to The Alembic. Order an Old Fashioned. Savor it. Then try a Vice Grip. Offer up a prayer of thanks to Doctor Popular, who told me about it.
Those white guys sure know their (sustainable) fish. Sitting at the sushi bar is always a memorable experience. [Eater 38 Member] Leia mais.
Not cheap, but probably the best traditional sushi in SF. Super friendly Japanese proprietors. Go with the Omakase and order a glass of fantastic Esshu sake! You will have a great night out!
No California rolls here - this local favorite is for serious sushi lovers only! Be prepared to wait - they don't accept reservations - but you cannot go wrong by saying the magic word: "omakase."
One of the very best Japanese restaurants in SF. Get Hamachi Jalapeno, Ikura, Uni, Ceviche, and their inventive Toro/Uni/Caviar combination. This place is way underhyped
Agricole rum is smooth and sweet. Made fron sugar cane in west indies. Ti punch is delicious.
Go to the Alembic and order classic cocktails. They UNDERSTAND. The mac & cheese is something special too.
Pastrami On Rye With Brown Mustard: A thing of unparalleled beauty. Anthony Bourdain, No Reservations
Don't expect charming, sweet bartenders. Do expect good beer (pitchers!), early Bloody Marys, delicious food off the grill and plenty dirty picnic tables outside. Look for Tamale Lady. Love Zeitgeist.
“Best Beer List – The Monk’s Kettle…. this is the place for the uninitiated to get a crash course and the connoisseur to talk shop with other beer freaks. - San Francisco Chronicle
