Restos

For a slightly more upscale resto, we like Lark. Just 10 min walk from our place.
Great casual fare. Medium price point and the staff are all great. Plus they have a fantastic back patio - rare in SF!

Fave parks

My fave parks in SF - Dolores Park (10 min walk from our place). Glen Park Canyon (Uber 10 min). Corona Heights (5 min Uber). Kite Hill (2 min walk from our place)
Such a scene when it is nice out. 2000+ people partying, relaxing or just watching the world go by.

Warehouse district. Great for eating, bar hopping and shopping too. Definitely check out Heaths, a local fave biz for ceramic wares. They have a Tartine outpost too - one of the best bakeries in town.
