Food Scene

Philz has arguably the best coffee I've ever tasted. They were among the first to do the "single cup" drip brew, now ubiquitous in SF hipster cafés! I like the Philharmonic.

This is my favorite local coffee shop. Solid coffee, sunny outdoor area for catching up with friends, minimal Scandanavian interior good for concentration.

Slightly overpriced but a truly cinematic experience. You can watch old classics while you dine outside in a Fellini kind of ambience.

Recently opened, this is the best jazz venue in the city. (Too bad it isn't on Filmore St. which was once historic for jazz. Filmore has Yoshi's, now the second-best jazz venue in the city.)
