Bowling Alley · Mission District · 137 tips and reviews
Adrian Barker: Come here for the Mission Burger and stay for bowling. No, seriously. The burger and fries are possibly the best in the city. This place is my go-to for burgers and vodka martinis.
American Restaurant · Mission Dolores · 111 tips and reviews
Adrian Barker: Sets the standard for a basic vodka martini. Sit at the bar and enjoy some amazing California cuisine. It's typically easy to walk-in and grab a table here.
Adrian Barker: The pizzas are great here. Wash them down with a selection from their Italian wine list. A hidden gem in the Dogpatch neighborhood, this place seems to always be packed, even on weeknights.

Ice Cream Parlor · Hayes Valley · 344 tips and reviews
Adrian Barker: A constantly rotating list of ice cream with about 4-5 choices a day. The most interesting flavor I've tried was olive oil. The texture of the ice cream is a stand-out here, impossibly smooth.
Adrian Barker: Too many good things here to really suggest anything. Come in the morning for a breakfast pastry or come after 4:30pm for fresh out of the oven bread but always expect a line out the door.
Adrian Barker: Love the Vietnamese sandwiches here. My go-to place when I want something a little lighter for about $5. Order the special, with roasted pork, pork loaf, and pate. Yum!
