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 · 114 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.
