1. San Francisco Public Library - West Portal Branch
This is 1 of only 2 public libraries I've visited in the city, but if it is representative of all the others, then San Francisco really has a good thing going here. The location is super convenient; often I don't even plan on stopping by, but see it…More »
2. Seniore's Pizza
Going through my reviews, I was flabbergasted to discover that I have never reviewed my dearest Seniore's. Living two blocks away from here means, to me, that I can walk here in under 5 minutes. To others, that means that it won't take very long when…More »
3. Parkside Square
Oh. My. Goodness.
Ascending upon this epic playground from the depths of a dark Stern Grove while tripping balls with some buddies is a serious candidate for one of the most joyous moments of my life.
THERE IS A PIRATE SHIP
and
some new-fangled version…More »
4. Parkside Farmer's Market
San Francisco, CA 94116
(415) 681-5563
Category:
Farmers Market
Neighbourhood: Parkside
Wonderful place to get produce; I'm glad to have it so closeby. It's especially convenient that it is located so close to Safeway, so I can get whatever else I need there but avoid getting raped on fruit and vegetable prices. As long as you know how…More »
5. Copy Circle
San Francisco, CA 94116
(415) 665-5757
Category:
Printing Services
Neighbourhood: Parkside
Excellent neighborhood copy shop, quick, never a wait. Massive convenience of being right on an L line stop, so you can look out the window to check when the train is approaching then grab your resumes and leap outside to make it to your interview.

6. Sunset Reservoir
San Francisco, CA 94116
Categories:
Public Services & Government,
Active Life
Neighbourhood: Outer Sunset
Guess what?
As most people who live nearby have noticed, it is currently undergoing an upgrade
The upgrade includes fitting 4,200 rods into the earth so that it can withstand earthquakes up to the magnitude of the 1906 shaker
In order to make this…More »
7. Linda's Liquor
San Francisco, CA 94116
(415) 665-1446
Categories:
Beer, Wine & Spirits,
Convenience Stores
Neighbourhood: Parkside
I can regularly be seen sprinting from here to the L train stop up the block. That is because, upon seeing the train stopped down at 22nd, I usually risk it and grab my beloved Diet Coke first at Linda's. I've definitely been saved by a red light…More »
8. Shannon Arms
Friend A as we walk down Taraval: "How about Shannon Arms?"
Friend B: "As long as some douchebags don't try to start shit this time"
Pause. Watch as multiple douchebags commence fighting in front of the door of Shannon Arms, with their girly friends…More »
9. Squat & Gobble Cafe & Crepery
San Francisco, CA 94127
(415) 665-9900
Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
American (Traditional),
Creperies
Neighbourhood: West Portal
I'm already quite a fan of the Haight street location (see? http://www.yelp.com/us...) and, despite the fact that it is physically closer to mi casa, I'd never tried this one out until this weekend.
I ordered something different than I usually do on…More »
10. Submarine Center
1st known:
I am not a big fan of red meat, or pork, or shellfish. As a recovered vegetarian, I am still very picky about what types of meat I do consume.
2nd known:
I feel that I am generally very attuned to what my body is telling me it needs; the only…More »
11. Taqueria El Sol - CLOSED
San Francisco, CA 94116
(415) 661-3303
Curiouser and curiouser. I had never gone here when this location was Island Cafe (despite living 2 blocks away), and it seems like they just kind of changed the menu a bit and went for a new name and theme. I wonder if has the same owners or new…More »
12. Grandma's Saloon
I live up the block from here but never really had a reason to go before, but it was our bud's 21st birthday so as of 12:01 we jaunted into this place to buy him a beer. I almost laughed when she busted out the ID scanner; I think I've only had mine…More »
13. MUNI Station - West Portal
San Francisco, CA 94127
Category:
Public Transportation
Neighbourhood: West Portal
I still can't believe that some lady drove into this tunnel and made it to Market street. Or that she got out of it without a ticket. I just imagine a crowd of confused commuters standing around Forest Hill Station, silently watching as this lone…More »
14. US Post Office - Parkside
San Francisco, CA 94116
(415) 759-0150
Category:
Post Offices
Neighbourhood: Parkside
This is the most conveniently located post office to where I live, but after a few tries there I now go a little out of my way just to visit a different one. Unlike most US Post Offices, there isn't a station for you to package up Priority/Express…More »
15. Safeway
Why even review a Safeway? A poor review seems pointless given that people will continue to go here anyway out of convenience. Even I'm guilty; at only 3 blocks distance from mi casa, it's hard not to end up here when I need a thing or two.
I can…More »
16. 19th and Taraval Smog Test Only - Shell Gas Station
San Francisco, CA 94116
(415) 682-9899
Categories:
Auto Repair,
Gas & Service Stations,
Smog Check Stations
Neighbourhood: Parkside
Suckiest gas station ever. Suckiest isn't a word? Whatever.
This place has such a plethora of technical issues. If you think that a wrench in your gears when you have somewhere to be is exciting, then this is your place. Computer glitches, non-working…More »
