Hi WSO,
I'll be going to SF at the end of September for work and will be staying there for about 5 days. I'll be pretty free with what to do during my days and was wondering if any locals could provide some recommendations on the following:
Great food places (both restaurants and street food). I'm a massive foodie to this is really priority number 1
Cool bars and hang out spots
Other cool shit tourists don't get to see - stuff you really need a local to show you
I'll be in the financial district for work and be staying in the Tenderloin area.
Thanks in advance!
Bump
Run.
Wanna hang in China town?
Why not?
I'm down. I am not actually from there but I'll be there sometime mid/late September. First time for everything.
Hang Ah Tea Room in china town for great dim sum. Kirimachi Ramen in the financial district for great ramen. International Smoke for a good restaurant in the fidi. Natoma Cabana, Rickhouse, Pagan Idol, Schroeders, Local Edition, Novela, Rosa Mexicana, The Ferry Building, Golden Gate Tap Room are all fun bars/restaurants. If the sun is out take advantage of it and go across the Golden Gate - most of the time the fog rolls in and you can't see shit. Watch out for rabid bums and human poop.
Thanks! Will check these out
Grew up and currently live in the city.
Mexican: la taqueria (call ahead and order, also make sure you get your burritos dorado-style, they'll throw them on the grill after wrapping) Italian: Flour + Water Californian: Absinthe Michelin Star: Quince Best all-around: Gary Danko Sushi: Sushi-Sam edomata, san mateo; Sasa Sushi SF
PM me if you want more recs -- enjoy
Restaurants: Trendy new places come and go, but I am a very old-school guy and like the mainstays that have been around for 30-50+ years: Scoma's (Seafood)*, North Beach Restaurant (Italian), Hunan Homes (Chinese) and fuck it I like the Ghirardelli chocolate factory, tourists be damned.
*If you go to Scomas and don't like your experience I'll personally refund you the money.
