Alex Chen: Great, quintessential SF beach to hang out at. There are grills closer to the parking lot. If it's your first time, fair warning that the northern end tends to host nude male volleyball.
501 Stanyan St (btwn Fulton St & Lincoln Way), San Francisco, CA
Park · Golden Gate Park · 357 tips and reviews
Alex Chen: A total gem, home to a variety of museums and conservatories, buffalo, and a lovely mixture of European classical architecture with other portions more natural feeling.
Alex Chen: Profiled in This American Life, you can't go wrong with the coffee, thick toast (heavily buttered with generous cinnamon sugar), and a coconut. It's particularly comforting when Karl the Fog is in.
