Tom Coates: One of the most beautiful and helpful - and also one of the most expensive - garden shops in the Bay Area. They have their own little espresso bar which sells nice coffee and snacks. Lovely experience

New American Restaurant · Mission District · 362 tips and reviews
Tom Coates: I think the brunch is a more fun experience than the dinners. Only available on the weekend, go for the weekend picnic, and book a couple of weeks in advance (or turn up on the door as it opens).
Tom Coates: I've been here twice and love it. I think it's of particular interest to designers and people interested in the history of the home. Probably an hour to an hour and a half is all you need though.
Mexican Restaurant · Mission Dolores · 49 tips and reviews
Tom Coates: Good Mexican food. They'll ask you for your choice of beans, meat and salsa (spicy or mild). Their sister restaurant pancho villa is a block and a half away and has more meat choices. Both are good.
