The spot you'd hang out if you were a San Franciscan on a Saturday. Keep an eye out for the Truffle guy and his magic wares 😏😏😏
Yes there's a wait but what awaits you inside is the absolute best that any bakery, anywhere, any time of day has to offer. In particular, if they have the fresh berry tart, you're in luck!!
Creative and delicious dishes, but be prepared to wait an absurd amount of time at any hour of any day.
Continues to deliver one of San Francisco's most superb ramen, uni, (seasonal) shirako, and friendly service with prices that won't rock your bank account. [Eater 38 Member]
Superb ramen (get the tonkotsu with both chashu and kakuni pork) and generally very good cooked dishes. Get the BBQ Kobe beef ribs and the fried shrimp with chili sauce.
Don't miss the tamale lady, you'll regret it! If you do, it's okay, at least there's an awesome beer garden to hang out in.
Easily the most atmospheric Blue Bottle I've ever been to. Enjoy the huge open-air warehouse space, as well as the awesome views of the adjacent ceramic workshop!
The egg custard tarts here are the best & rival those found in Hong Kong. It’s worth the wait to get a hold of these buttery delicious treats. Just don’t make the mistake of only getting one! - Fiona
Best Japanese curry in the city!!! Order some extra pickles with your curry and come early or pre-order to avoid waits at the fantastic downtown lunch spot
Food here is delicious, but their spice scale is not calibrated for weak taste buds. Medium strong is... Strong! Sake goes great with Thai food- apply liberally.
“Best Beer List – The Monk’s Kettle…. this is the place for the uninitiated to get a crash course and the connoisseur to talk shop with other beer freaks. - San Francisco Chronicle
Fried Chicken is the best I've had in SF. Waffles are equally delicious, and don't forget to bring cash.
The most touristy of them all. But the only one that's actually in SF proper. Check out the secret menu before ordering.
Try the dry fried chicken wings. Fast service once you get a table, but expect a line. I love the kimchi they bring you when you sit down. -Laurine Wickett, Top Chef
The soup dumplings are to die for...they're # 13 on 7x7's Big Eat SF 2010. Read more.
Awesome views, of LA and the sky above it. Bonus: really close to the Hollywood sign.
Quintessential LA K-town BBQ, but there's a lot to choose from in this hood.
If you manage to get tickets for a concert here, grab a picnic blanket and a bottle of wine and you've got yourself a good night.
I believe men and women are able to do things equally well in this modern world. Except when it comes to wearing teeny bikinis.
Given all the music created in Los Angeles, it’s mind-boggling that there’s still only one place you really need to go to buy tunes in this town. This Mecca of music occupies an entire city block.
This is the quintessential classic road to drive a car as the sun sets. Also a stereotypical place for teens to make out.
One of downtown's newest literary landmarks, the Last Bookstore is a cavernous space housed in an old bank building. It houses a wide variety of books plus vinyl records and a coffee shop. Read more.
A Taiwanese outpost in the heart of Silver Lake, Vivian Ku's bright, beautiful restaurant continues to draw crowds craving noodles, dumplings, and other familiar comfort fare along Sunset Blvd. Read more.
