1. Serrano Hotel
San Francisco, CA 94102
(415) 885-2500
Category:
Hotels
Neighbourhood: Civic Center/Tenderloin
I'm sure this is was a deal you could only get during massive flu panics, but I paid $90 a night for this place. The Serrano Hotel is a classic San Francisco hotel: small room, antique lobby, elevators that are a listed capacity of 12 people, only if…More »
2. The Fairmont Hotel
The is a hotel that puts all other hotels to shame; it's elegant, classy, a hotel that enforces a quiet, refined status of, "yup, I'm better than any place you've stayed." When I saw the rate, I decided I could pony up a few extra bucks for an…More »
3. Lucky 13
This is one of those bars that, no matter when you walk in, you feel like it's about 11:30 pm, and everyone looks about three drinks into the night. This is truly a dive bar, complete with the cheep goldfish to snack on, the person who brings their…More »
4. Redwood Room
San Francisco, CA 94102
(415) 929-2372
Category:
Lounges
Neighbourhoods: Union Square, Civic Center/Tenderloin
This is my 100th review! Woo hoo!
Plus a few thousand stars just for the room -- the high ceilings and immense nature of a room completely covered in redwood panels made for a breathtaking experience to have a cocktail or two in. I didn't much mind…More »
5. Yabbies Coastal Kitchen - CLOSED
San Francisco, CA 94109
(415) 474-4088
Category:
Seafood
Neighbourhoods: Nob Hill, Russian Hill
A business acquaintance of mine recommended this place as a solid choice in the city for a romantic dinner that's going to be the right price.
I agree.
While it's not going to blow you away with decorated fish dishes and snooty waiters (unless you…More »
6. Parc 55 Wyndham San Francisco - Union Square
San Francisco, CA 94102
(415) 392-8000
Category:
Hotels
Neighbourhoods: Union Square, Civic Center/Tenderloin
For the price, this place is a STEAL. Book at their website -- you will get a better price than a travel site.
It's right on Union Square/Powell Street/Westfield San Francisco, so if your significant other loves to shop, it's…More »
7. Golden Boy Pizza
San Francisco, CA 94133
(415) 982-9738
Category:
Pizza
Neighbourhood: North Beach/Telegraph Hill
Okay, I'm five beers into the night, and the girls at the Savoy are lookin' a bit better than they did earlier.
I really should leave, but not before grabbing something to eat.
Golden Boy is just around the corner, maybe we should stop by for a slice?…More »
8. The Saloon
San Francisco, CA 94133
(415) 989-7666
Categories:
Jazz & Blues,
Dive Bars
Neighbourhood: North Beach/Telegraph Hill
Yeah, sure, it's a dive bar, but I've been in better dive bars.
First, it smelled like they hadn't cleaned the place since 1864, and some of the furniture looked downright scary. We didn't dare venture into the restrooms, and left after one drink.

9. Jeanne D'arc
Me and the sig ate here for her birthday. She wanted rabbit, and I called for a reservation, specifically asking for it.
That dish was great, and the number of dishes offered on the menu was perfect for a quaint little place just off of Union Square.…More »
10. Hotel Nikko
San Francisco, CA 94102
(415) 394-1111
Category:
Hotels
Neighbourhoods: Union Square, Civic Center/Tenderloin
Nice place.
The pluses:
HUGE bathroom, with a separate shower and bathtub. I've had apartments smaller than that bathroom. The rooms were well appointed and that plasma television is nice even if they haven't figured out that you really should have HD…More »
11. The Holy Cow
True story...
While me and my buddy were downing another bud, he said, "The only type of people that come here are hairdressers, dental hygenists and car mechanics."
At the point, someone nearby started talking about dropping a 427 into a a '67 Chevy.

12. Supperclub
San Francisco, CA 94107
(415) 348-0900
Categories:
American (New),
Dance Clubs,
Lounges
Neighbourhood: SOMA
Soundtrack right out of a rave, complete with DJ Snazzy in the black hat and lighting that makes you feel like you're on a Virgin America flight?
Check.
Eating and drinking while lounging in full-sized beds?
Check.
Food served to you by flamboyantly gay…More »
13. Izzy's Steaks & Chops
San Francisco, CA 94123
(415) 563-0487
Category:
Steakhouses
Neighbourhood: Marina/Cow Hollow
Top notch. The place just feels right.
Okay, the steaks aren't perfect, but are a good value for the price. But it's not just about a piece of meat.
They have sauces on the walls. Tons of them. Just grab them. Your table neighbors won't mind.
They serve…More »
14. San Francisco International Airport
Even though this airport lies way outside of the city, when you drive in, you still get the feeling you're in San Francisco.
It's so -- vertical.
It's so -- delayed.
It's so -- compact.
I've never really been delayed out of here, but know quite a few…More »
15. Sir Francis Drake Hotel
I've stayed here both alone and with a soon to be discarded date, and I really like the place. Sure the rooms are small (geez, it's San Francisco, didn't anyone look out of the window?), but if you are spending a lot of time in the rooms, you're in…More »
16. The Blue Light
San Francisco, CA 94123
(415) 922-5510
Categories:
Restaurants,
Bars
Neighbourhood: Marina/Cow Hollow
A lot of Republicans.
I used to drink here a lot when it was on the way to SOMA (But everything is along the way to SOMA from the Marina). The crowd was always interesting, if a bit yuppie, and definitely a break from the college kids that used to…More »
17. Caffe Greco
San Francisco, CA 94133
(415) 397-6261
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Desserts,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: North Beach/Telegraph Hill
Every time I go there, I see the same guy. Wearing the same shirt. Behind the counter.
He remembers me -- from ten years ago. He asks about Rebeca. I tell her she's doing well in New York, raising horses or some such story. And it's true.
He rings up a…More »
18. Pasquale's Pizza
San Francisco, CA 94122
(415) 661-2140
What do you expect? It's a pizza place with the word Pizza in the name -- thin or thick, the pasta. It's not fine dining, but it's still all good.
I used to live in this neighborhood (which I'm convinced is the most comfortable neighborhood in San…More »
19. Le Video
San Francisco, CA 94122
(415) 566-3606
Category:
Videos and Video Game Rental
Neighbourhood: Inner Sunset
When I lived in this neighborhood, my roommate was a snob -- a foreign film, art loving type of snob. Not that's a bad thing, because we actually had a Picasso in the flat (I kid you not), but we had one of those puny 18 inch television sets with a…More »
20. The Yellow Submarine
San Francisco, CA 94122
(415) 681-5652
Category:
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Inner Sunset
They have the best subs I've ever had. End of story.
Quizno's can't even hold their bread.
Nothing more needs to be said.
