So I'm in the Bay Area for five months. What do I need to see/do? Shops, cool places, restaurants - anything...

Old enough to drink? Watch the latest Layover for some ideas. You gotta try pretty hard to find bad food/drinks in SF. My personal favorites...

Food:
Swan's Oyster Depot
Pearl's Burgers
Zushi Puzzle
Ken Ken Ramen
Ferry Building
Humphrey Slocombe

Drinks:
Smuggler's Cove
Rickhouse
Bourbon&branch (haven't been yet, but hear good things)

funny shit right there. Zeitgeist has been around for years, no secret about it. Can't miss the damn place since it's always busy. the only reason you may think it's a "best kept secret" or you're glad you found it is because you probably don't live in the city, much less in the Mission area. And to be honest with you, not a spot where you see many asians


Anyway dude, come to SF and do all the touristy things first. Go sight seeing, Golden Gate Bridge/Golden Gate Park, Embarcadero, Ferry Building, Fishermans Wharf, The Presidio (Walt Disney Museum), SFMOMA (Museum of Modern Arts) Plenty of galleries all over the city with some really interesting artists. Across the Golden Gate Bridge you have SkyWalker Ranch. All the star wars shit you wanna see (if you're a fan) I still though it was dope.

SF has some pretty dope architecture. Bring a camera. If you like to skateboard/or ride whether fixed gear or road bike then this is the place to ride.
If you have a motorcycle, you should definitely bring it as we have some really good twisties and world class racetracks near by

Food? YOu can't go wrong in this city. Fine dining is cool and all but I like the mom and pop joints just as much because they're food is cheap but packs a lot of good flavors.

Breakfast:
Mama's in Colombus Square. Trust me, you want to have bfast here. And while you're there check out The DarkSide Initiative for their dope selection of gear. While in the area check out Little Italy and Chinatown. Alll the strip bars are just down the street as well. Bring some singles, lol.

SEARS (not the clothing store) Good food.
Tommy's Joynt you gotta try it
Nordstroms Bar, atop the Nordstroms store. Good food and you get a great view of Powell street and the cable cars.
SanTung for the BEST hot wings. Not your typical hot wing, these have an Chinese fusion thing going on.

Too many to list and I'm sure I'm missing a boat load of them.

Lunch/Dinner:
HRD They got some crazy Mexican/Korean fusion thing going but it works. Everything there is delicious
Brendas (french, criole) very good food.
Ikes sandwiches
Equinox resturant atop the Hyatt. Restaurant rotates ever so slowly and you can see the city from all angles
Che Papa (french)
Any restaurant in the "French Quarter" at Belden Place. There's Italian, Spanish (from Spain), and French restaurants.
Off the Grid should be up and running in a couple of months
Humphrey Slocombe for the best Ice Cream you'll ever have. I recommend Jesus Juice and Secret Breakfast but all their flavors are creative and so damn tasty.
SanTung for the BEST hot wings. Not your typical hot wing, these have an Chinese fusion thing going on.
The Stinking Rose


SF has a lot of bars/clubs that double as show venues. Mezzanine/ 330 Ritch/ Rickshaws ahhhhhh I'm forgetting a lot of them
Comedy clubs
strip clubs

What are you coming out here for? business? pleasure?

There's always shit to do in the city, you just have to hook up with fun and outgoing people and they'll show you SF.

nomnomnom san tung for their dried wings &)

and thanks for making me feel like i didnt live here for the past 20 years of the 22 years of my existence.. i only just started going out to bars in the city these last few months.

and so what if there arent many asians there? i'd rather be there than around some dumb ass asian dudes tryina act all hard over at holy cow or some shit... and there was sooo much space and it was hella chill on a tuesday night.

ANYWAYS

breakfast? squat and gobble. toast. any cheap diner looking spot. brenda's french soul food kitchen.

other foods? like he said, san tung.. kevins noodle house for some comfort pho. sparky's 24 hour diner. taqueria cancun and el farolito. little star pizza. nizario's. seniores. tartine. bi-rite creamery. pearl's (props to eddy). mitchells ice cream!

honestly, i think you should explore every district in the city if you can.. there's always some hidden shit and cool stuff to find.....

blahblahblah. i guess i could add more later. there's also the bay area thread in the regions section, be sure to check there.

Dead at missy but yeah most def. squat and gobble, damn crepes, take the l, m,t, train out there. N train will take u to a cool little neighborhood. Clement street for Asian foods or niche shops. But like missy said just explore, and the tenderloin has some bomb ass food places, just gotta watch for bums, drug dealers, etc but I love that part of home lol
Also use the Bart to go to Berkeley for cool night spots, college town shit

If you want some good sandwiches hit up Roxys, The Yellow Submarine, or Deli World. You can yelp all 3. All are good with different specialty sandwiches.

If you'd like to try out some good ass food trucks try hitting up off the grid. On fridays they are at Fort Mason.

Also if u just want to go to the beach in sf, just take the L Taraval train( ho always breaks down though) it will take u to the beach, more surbubia doe but Bonfires at night( had a bad ass place for a stack when I was engaged but that fell apart). Anyway u can go to daly city, serramonte mall, hood ass movie theatre out their too. A lot of places in the avenues, mostly Asian places( but I love Asian, chicks so) some places on Potrero hill If u like art and furniture places, plus some auto events or sometimes at cow palace too( haven't been home in awhile this thread has me thinking of coming home this summer),
If u are in sf a lot get a muni pass monthly but if u get really good just jump on the back of buses especially any bus in Chinatown or Geary. Check out north beach for dark side intutive( used to be nort) for wtaps gear and other dope shit and double punch is next door and some dope Italian restaurants around and a candy shop I used to work at has some dope taffy. Just have fun out there, u also have Oakland around lake merrit and problem the safest place besides that would be San leandro( I know that's a stretch but it's better then fruit ale, etc. Benny gold is in the mission right on 16th street, dope art on building just walk the mission period, random dope food. Fuck it's time to come tired of writing shit just have fun my do, don't take this experience for granted one day I gotta move back

5 months is a pretty long time to do shit. You should be able to see almost everything. Don't limit yourself to just SF.
