Essentials

Closest large grocery store. A little pricey, but nice selections. There are homeless kids that hang out by the entrance to Golden Gate Park. They are mostly harmless, but it's good to be aware.

Shopping

This is a hidden local gem. If you are at all into spiritual or metaphysical practices, you have to pop in! Handcrafter incenses, oils, tarot cards, card readings and more, through a garden area.
