This is where I had my 'Farewell SF' dinner. Meatballs, risotto, pizza, and incredible cocktails. Pro tip: reserve the downstairs for private party.
Service can be slow but such a great family-owned Italian spot. Get the eggplant parm or salmon in parchment paper. Most entrees come with a side of tortellini - go with the white sauce.
Don't bother with the burritos. Super suiza quesadilla will blow your f'n mind!
There are many great bars within a block of 24th BART but it's that bright red neon "BAR" sign that just draws you back every time.
A stand-by. This is the original location where Phil usually hangs out. He's the dude in the fedora. Say hello.
One of the most unique places in the hood. They have small intimate concerts for only about 25 people. Nothing compares.
They've got an impressive selection of imported beer for just being a random corner shop. Keep an eye out for the sidewalk chalkboard - you may find some inspirational passages on it.
Harrison St between 23rd and 24th St on the west side of the street. You never know when the gate is open but when it is, peek inside. Look for an old dude named Tree and he'll reveal more secrets.
Delicious Senegalese food and cocktails! When you finish dinner, go around the corner to Little Baobab and dance your ass off.
Cheese! Sandwiches! Beer! Sun! Perfect recipe for a lazy sunday. Come here and feast while lounging in their courtyard.
You'll first walk to Universal Cafe for brunch because everyone told you to. When there's a painfully long wait, you can go here and get an equally awesome meal.
Amazing food with a fresh new menu daily. Pricey for what you get but quality and vibe is worth it.
Definitely one of the best coffee shops ever. They did everything right - decor, layout, outdoor seating, food. I miss it.
The only acceptable greasy hangover food spot in the hood. Hold out as long as you can to avoid all the hipsters. Everything's good!
Great beer and sausage selection. Chilled out service and DJs in the evenings. Kid-friendly during the day.
By far the best brunch in town - brown sugar glazed bacon should be a requirement for every table! -Preeti Mistry, Top Chef
This was my first love when it comes to Mission taquerias. No frills. Straight up carne asada burrito.
