This was in an email I sent to
Style Sud-Est, who was traveling to San Francisco in April.
Since I'm going up there on Thursday, I thought it was finally time to share!
Breakfast:
Pork Store
1451 Haight St (between Masonic Ave & Ashbury St)
San Francisco,
CA 94117
Best is location on Haight, then you can walk the street and find TREASURES!
For instance,
Mendel's, a fantastic fabric/craft shop with lots of old stock -- their fake fur selection is outstanding!
Walk around and window shop, you'll want to be hungry for...
Late lunch/early dinner:
Swan Oyster Depot $$$
1517 Polk St (between California St & Sacramento St)
San Francisco,
CA 94109
Only open until 5:30pm!
Small, crowded, you sit at a bar.
Worth the long line, suggest going around 2-3pm.
Feel like some ice cream?
Bi-Rite Creamery
3692 18th St (between Dolores St & Oakwood St)
San Francisco,
CA 94110
On other side of street is their
market
stock up on goodies to take home with you.
Claire's Squares are a perennial favorite in our house.
Also good is their deli section, and check the olive/salad takeaway area -- lots of great items for al fresco dining in nearby Mission Dolores Park, or wherever
What? Still hungry?
Late night burrito:
El Farolito
2779 Mission St (between 24th St & 23rd St)
San Francisco,
CA 94110
Nothing like the Mission district at night!
