Lauren: Great Asian fusion with a good view of the Bay Bridge. Solid cocktails too. Nicer restaurant
Lauren: Probably my favorite cocktail bar in SF; cool timelapse videos in the back AND free pretzels. I like their spicy tequila drink or anything with gin.
Lauren: Liquid nitrogen ice cream made in front of you in an adorable park space
Lauren: Central Park of SF, just walk around. Also includes botanical garden, tea house, lakes, people watching, and museums within.
Lauren: Huge space to hang out or meetup with friends for coffee. You may have had their coffee outside of SF before (The ELK in NYC serves it)
Lauren: In case you want dumplings or a super cheap meal, this place is great.
Lauren: An SF institution. ONLY serve coffee (no espresso). I asked for tea once and they just laughed.
Lauren: Solid food, a bit nicer than most SF places. Plays movies on the patio big screen once night falls.
Lauren: One of the few rooftop bars in SF. I actually prefer going for brunch, when it's sunny and you can see the views! Go early because there can be a wait.
Lauren: The only true speakeasy in SF. Make reservations online. THey require a password.
Lauren: The speakeasy INSIDE OF A SPEAKEASY. Mind blown. Make reservations!
Lauren: Well-decorated, peaceful place for a light lunch or just to rest your feet.
Lauren: Walk up/down this street along the water to see the piers and people biking/boarding/etc.
