Katherine M.: Best egg tarts in the city. Long lines. Always check "is-the-golden-gate-bakery-open-today.com" to make sure you won't be disappointed when you get there.
Ice Cream Parlor · Dogpatch · 169 tips and reviews
Katherine M.: This is the only ice cream in SF Andrew and I agree on. A good balance of experimental flavors and nice texture. It's hard to get here without a car. You could pair the trip with brunch at Plow.
Katherine M.: This is one of our top 3 pizzas in the bay. Very spare interior, tattooed owner, sells out early. The dough is chewy and the toppings are fresh and minimalistic. This is not a cute neighborhood.
Moraga St (btwn 15th & 16th Ave), San Francisco, CA
Scenic Lookout · Golden Gate Heights · 50 tips and reviews
Katherine M.: To do this right, start at the mosaic steps at 16th and Kirkham, then continue to these steps at 16th and Moraga. Do not miss Grand View park at the top of the steps. One of the best spots in SF.
429 Castro St (btwn 18th & Market), San Francisco, CA
Indie Movie Theater · Castro · 118 tips and reviews
Katherine M.: Beautiful old movie theater with ornate decorations and a Wurlitzer organ. Often plays campy films, classic films, and deliciously tongue-in-cheek double header pairings. Iconic marquee.
Katherine M.: Small, cozy tiki bar in a neighborhood in Alameda. Quiet enough to have an intimate conversation, without the crowds of Smuggler's or the snobbiness of Tonga Room.
