(415) 291-3276

Categories:
Lounges,
American (New)
Neighbourhoods: Union Square, SOMA
If Emperor Palpatine had decided to cut Alderaan some slack and reposition the Death Star over San Francisco for some fancy cocktails and olives, he would get the view you see here. The initial reaction is surprise: the views from both ends of this…More »
3. Sightglass Coffee
A recent 7x7 Magazine independent taste test of a number of artisan coffees resulted in one clear winner: Sightglass Coffee. One of the cities newest roasters and distributors, it was formed when Jerad and Justin Morrison, a pair of coffee experts,…More »
4. Ritual Coffee Roasters
San Francisco, CA 94110
(415) 641-1011
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Mission
My mom makes me weak. My dad makes me depressed.
There are many things I wish I wasn't. Restless. Impatient. Emotional. Delusional. Arugula. And so I blame my flaws on my folks, focusing on what I lack genetically rather than the good I possess.…More »
5. Philz Coffee
What makes a coffeehouse lovely:
(1) Quality beans.
(2) Great shots of espresso.
(3) Friendly service.
(4) Hot hipster bariste.
Philz has plenty of (1) and extreme amounts of (3), but sadly falls short in the (2) department. However, their drip coffee…More »
6. El Farolito
El Farolito makes some of the best burritos I've had in the city - fresh, flavorful and cheap - so naturally I suggested the place to my mom when she visited...
Me: Do you want to get a burrito tomorrow? They're really good!
Mom: Aren't we supposed to…More »
7. Dosa On Fillmore
San Francisco, CA 94115
(415) 441-3672
Category:
Indian
Neighbourhoods: Japantown, Lower Pac Heights, Pacific Heights
Like any good American, I'm on an endless quest to silence my thinking. I'm plagued by profound thoughts. I hate it. My brain keeps asking questions with no quickly attributable answers.
"Why are we here?"
And while I could drink and smoke myself…More »
8. Tony's Pizza Napoletana
San Francisco, CA 94133
(415) 835-9888
Four Stars for Tony's
+1: A well-balanced slice with tasty toppings
+1: The perfect temperature when you get your slice
+1: Fast service
+1: Esther K.
A little pricey but, given the quality and the lack of other good thin slices in the neighborhood, it's…More »

Sandwiches

Gibson Les Paul + Marshall Tube Amp + Guns N' Roses =

Scarlett Johanssen + Elisha Cuthbert + Me =
ITALIAN MEATS + COLESLAW + FRIES + THICK TOAST + BEER + LIVE MUSIC =
WIN.
(Asians love math.)
10. Golden Gate Bakery
Golden Gate Bakery is good. The custard and coconut tarts are the best I've ever had. My parents, who grew up in Hong Kong, agree wholeheartedly.
But Golden Gate Bakery is TOO good. In fact, it's so good I wish it didn't exist - that I might stop…More »
11. Grace Cathedral
I'll never understand the unquestioning conviction people hold about something as vast as God. It's not that I don't believe in God, rather I don't presume an understanding of its thoughts and intentions. If an entity could craft something as…More »
12. Legion of Honor
I was driving through the loop in front of Legion, and the guy in front of me took a spot. I guess he didn't see the woman stopped on the side, waiting like a hawk for the same spot. She started honking, and drove up right behind his car like an…More »
13. California Academy of Sciences
When I was a kid, my two favorite places were The Exploratorium and the pre-renovation Academy of Sciences. I've been to the Smithsonian but still preferred the Academy. The aquarium can't be beat. Best planetarium ever!
The downtown branch is a bit…More »
14. Exploratorium
San Francisco, CA 94123
(415) 563-7337
Categories:
Museums,
Venues & Event Spaces
Neighbourhood: Marina/Cow Hollow
My favorite place when I was a kid. One Christmas I even scored a free Laser Tag set (the sleek, black old school ones with the laser sight). That was awesome.
LASER TAG!
Don't tell me you don't think that's effing awesome.
15. Golden Gate Bridge
I often forget how stunning the Bridge is. Imagine sailing in from open Ocean and seeing this monument welcoming you to San Francisco. Amazing...
16. Golden Gate Park
By far the most magical place in the city. There is so much to do in this park, and so much nature to see.
I learned to ride my bike here!
I used to play in the playground and ride the carousel (it was only $0.25 back then!).
I've been meaning to go…More »
17. Union Square
San Francisco, CA 94101
(415) 296-0627
Category:
Parks
Neighbourhood: Union Square
I think the renovation was a success. The Memorial statue is also quite remarkable. Union Square provides a nice vantage point for Macy's ever-changing displays, as well as a break from the bump and grind action that is walking in SF.
They have art…More »
18. Yerba Buena Gardens
YBG exhibits traits that describe the woman of my dreams:
- Sunny and vibrant
- Has a nice view
- A tranquil place from the hustle and bustle
- Often poignant but still fun
- Frequent ball juggling
...what?
19. Ross Alley
It's not always bad, escapism. What I wouldn't give for a quick vanish; to sit back for a breather, while the world did its thing.
"I'm not here. I'm not here."
I suppose it's not surprising that, "How to Disappear Completely," tops my list of…More »
20. The Presidio
I have a lot of history with the Presidio. An Army brat, I lived here for several years when it was still a functioning military base. My mom worked in Letterman Army Medical Center--now the current site of ILM and LucasArts--where I would spend lots…More »
