SF Spots

Some of my favorite spots around San Francisco. This pulls from a Google Sheet that I update.

Restaurant

Mission
Remarkably fresh, flavorful, and delicious Indian food. Order the paneer kempu and the baby corn
Bernal Heights
The best mole, and the mango habanero salsa is unmatched - the best salsa in the city
Bernal Heights + Marin
My favorite sit-down pizza place! Scrumptious sourdough crust and I love the salad
Mission
Fabulous breakfast. I always get the enmoladas. Truly something for everyone
Mission
My favorite veggie tacos in the city! The spicy salsa is some of my favorite but it can be genuinely painful
Haight
Chaat is my favorite sub-cuisine, and this is some of the best I've ever had
Tenderloin
Perfect slices - I love the attention to detail and craft for pizza here
Mission
A crown jewel of dessert in the Mission. I'm spoiled for ice cream for the rest of my life because of the vanilla lilikoi
Richmond
A lesser known, yet very homey Burmese restaurant. I love their garlic noodles
Dogpatch
I'm a sucker for a fancy Indian place, but I feel like Besharam always hits the right balance between creative and classic
Tenderloin
The veggie ramen is worth the wait to me! Go with a friend and chat while you are in line
Z&Y
Chinatown
One of those places where I order too much but somehow am always able to eat it all because its so good
Mission
Never skip on the bread and butter even if you're also getting pizza. The interior is beautiful and almost everything is good
Castro
Veggie potstickers, salt and pepper tofu, green beans. Those are my must orders. Not everything here is amazing, but the good dishes are golden

Bar

Mission
My favorite bar in the world, and according to many, the best bar in the world!
ABV
Mission
Dan Dan Noodles inspired cocktail? Say less. I also love the mushroom burger
Mission
My favorite wine bar in the city. I've never had a bad wine here and I always get the grilled cheese with the mustard

Coffee

Mission
Great coffee, great vibe, and what I brew at home
Many Locations
Some of my favorite coffee - I'm usually at the one inside of the Gus' in the Mission

Gym

Mission
Incredible fitness classes, taught by most inclusive and motivating instructors

Grocery

Mission
I eat lots of beans and Rainbow is my heaven. Highly recommend their tea section and bulk binning your spices, tofu, and legumes here.
Mission
Amazing tortillas, and great salsas to bring to a party
