LOWER HAIGHT
This is my specialty because it's where I lived. The Lower Haight is at the intersection of Haight and Fillmore, just two blocks North of Market Street. You will find authentic restaurants of many ethnicities, recycled clothing stores, organic markets, bars and convenience stores. What more could you ask for?
My Favorites:
Restaurants:
Thep Phanom - authentic Thai
Rotee --fresh Indian dishes
Rosamunde -many different types of sausages
Volare and Mythic pizza --hot, crusty pizza by the slice
Squat and Gobble --breakfast! coffee, poached eggs, fresh squeezed o.j.
Bars:
Toronado - about 500+ beers to choose from (no liquor)
-right next door to Rosamunde
Mad Dog in the Fog --pool, sports on large flatscreen, trivia night, beer only
Shops:
Upper Playground --street wear; graffiti/graphic tees, hats, hoodies and other misc. items....dope.
Whole Foods Co. --organic produce, hard to find items, and kosher goods (expensive)
North Beach
by davequ
My favorite part of town.
I probably spend more time in North Beach walking, eating, drinking & touristing around than anywhere else.
Here's my favorite hangout for beverages, conversation and people-watching....
Caffe Trieste on Vallejo and Grant, just up the block from Columbus ave. Chatting up & watching all the different people that hang out at Trieste, then walking the city until you are too tired & sore to walk it any more (and then you call a cab...).

Keep an eye open

You never know when you are going to see something that makes you laugh. For instance, the fact that Big Al's is voted "Best Old School Sex Shop" cracked me up to no end. I mean, chances are, this award was not in a tour book for the city.

I think one of the best panoramics of the city is in Buena Vista Park, just off of Haight Street near the Panhandel. the view is almost a full 360 degrees around the bay area. Another great view point in S.F. is Twin Peaks. Everyday I have a new one... I love my city

Top of Twin Peaks--not the balcony in front of parking, but up to the top of the mountain where you can see 360 degrees. Wear layers because it's cold & windy. Districts; whether they are North Beach, Chinatown, Mission, or Castro, each has it's own character and good restaurants and sites to visit all day.
