Drinks & Nightlife
My favorite bar in San Francisco. Enjoy the afternoon sun in the beer garden. Dozens of rotating beers on tap (some very hard to find at other bars) all sold at reasonable prices.

Best karaoke bar in SF. Massive song listing. Endlessly entertaining no matter what time you go. Just a stone's throw away from my place. Get sushi from next door while you wait to sing!

Safeway is literally a 2 minute walk away from my apartment and open 24/7. I prefer the friendly confines of Rainbow Grocery, but Safeway has everything you need in a pinch and it's super convenient!

Everything Else
Beautiful park up the street from my apartment, never too crowded. Grab a spot on a bench and enjoy all the dog watching. Muni train comes right up to the park to take you west toward Ocean Beach.

The best spot for people watching in the city. When the rest of the city is foggy it's always sunny here. Go up to the top for the best views of the city. Weekends can be a huge party.

Food Scene
This is a great cafe and also one of Airbnb's new "Local Lounges". I had the pleasure of meeting the owners and discussing Airbnb, stop in for coffee or wine and get some tips about the neighborhood.

If you're a vegetarian or vegan this place is a must visit restaurant. If you love meat but are open to something different, Source is the place (every meat eater I've taken here has loved it!).

Best coffee in the Mission (in my humble opinion). Reasonably priced too. Plenty of room to hang out and get some work done. Outside parklet tables are perfect on nice days!
