Impossibly good combination of hearty yet light salads and wraps with a Mediterranean twist. Try the Greek Yogurt with sour cherry syrup for dessert! This place can get busy but luckily they accept orders ahead of time from their website: souvlasf.com

A great cafe with free wifi and power outlets for those days when you want to work somewhere more lively. They have a beautiful courtyard in the back, and the best breakfast burrito I know of in the city. I also highly recommend their pretzel croissants which arrive daily at 11:30am. Also, check out the great wine store next door.

A cute carnival themed restaurant with gutted children's books as menu covers. It's a cool concept, all the dishes are inspired by food you would find at a traditional American carnival.

Smitten is a popular local ice cream booth. Choose your flavor and watch them hand-make it with liquid nitrogen right before your eyes. Really fresh and delicious.

My favorite view of the city is at the top of this park. While lower than the famous twin peaks, this park is closer to downtown and has a better vantage point for panoramic views of the city and SF Bay. Park on Museum Way and hike up from where Museum Way meets Roosevelt Way.

A touristy pier with a marina taken over by a colony of sea lions. Watch these beautiful animals as they flop around and sunbath from a vantage point that's close enough to smell them.
