Important Notice:We have made the tough decision to say goodbye to the Foursquare City Guide mobile app, effective December 15, 2024, with the web version to follow in early 2025. Visit our FAQ for more information or to download our Swarm app.
Bacon, egg & cheese sandwiches, queso, and cocktails, Foursquare co-founder and CEO Dennis Crowley does SF his own way. Follow this list—from the Financial District to the Mission—for his picks.
826 Folsom St (btwn 4th St & 5th St), San Francisco, CA
Pizzeria · SoMa · 434 tips and reviews
Dens: I dunno how often they change up the "seasonal pizza" on the menu, but as of January 2014 the "chili-base, broccoli-sauce, four-cheese pizza" is one of the most delicious things I've eaten in forever.
Sushi Restaurant · Downtown San Francisco-Union Square · 166 tips and reviews
Dens: The omakase here is insane. Maybe best sushi I've had in the USA. Be sure to ask to try all the diff types of uni & eat something that's been blowtorched. (pic = wagyu, btw)
1420 Market St (btwn 10th and 11th St), San Francisco, CA
New American Restaurant · Civic Center · 115 tips and reviews
Dens: Packed w/ all the cool-kid tech folks (they're all investors!) and everything I tried on the menu is awesome. Standouts: the 1780 Old Fashioned, deviled eggs, pork trotter (!!), rocky road sundae
Dens: A friend described this place as "where the Twitter kids go to spend their IPO money"... tho cheap compared to NYC cocktails IMHO. The "Informant" was best drink I tried.
Dens: Stand in front of the Big Buck Hunter machine and look up... there's a BRONZED BIG BUCK RIFLE!!! It's some kind of trophy and getting my name on it is my destiny.
