Favorite little Italian neighborhood restaurant. OpenTable for reservations as it is often very busy and not very large. They just opened a place nextdoor that is much larger but I haven't tried it yet.

I've been coming to this place for lattes since the 80s before Starbucks hit the scene. Quirky small local cafe.

We are Chinese but we eat here at this Vietnamese restaurant more than we go out for Chinese food. Clean, delicious, straighforward and friendly. Rarely crowded.

Authentic dim sum (expect lines) and Cantonese food. Great for dinner with a group. Make reservations as this small restaurant is often full. Not cheap but worth the great service, tablecloths and clean atmosphere and delicious food. (Dim sum is typically only eaten at lunchtime).

It is definitely not fancy but this place is great if you love spicy food and/or Peking Duck. Be prepared for long lines. http://www.chilihousesf.com/

A more upscale version of Safeway but less "organic" than Whole Foods. Has full-service in-house butcher counter if you are particular about your meat and seafood. Convenient parking lot.

Drinks & Nightlife

Nice small winebar walking distance from the house. It can get loud in there but it is very convenient. No hard stuff here, just beer and wine.
