approach of the Golden Gate Bridge, winds through the Presidio, and doubles back
through Golden Gate Park. After vaulting Twin Peaks it dips down to Mission Dolores
and back to the bay front for a drive by the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, Ferry
Building, financial district and Yerba Buena Gardens.
If youre slightly less ambitious, like me, you may want to ride through Golden Gate Park
around Stowe lake, view the Bison and enjoy a picnic over by the Conservatory of
Flowers or the Japanese tea garden.

WAAAHOO! ~ WHERE TO EAT
Of course you will find wonderful restaurants, diners, eateries and food trucks all over SF.
Youll discover restaurants on Fillmore Street, Union Street, Mission Street, North Beach
and the Embarcadero, Japan Town or Bay Street as well as OFF THE GRID Food Truck
events at Fort Mason or The SoMA StrEAT Food Park on 11
th
Streetbut here are a few of
my personal favorites!
La Folie - 2316 Polk St - www.lafolie.com
20-25 minute walk via Green Street (less than a mile)
La Folie is a Michelin Star family-run restaurant that incorporates local farm to table sensibilities
into gorgeous works-of-art-on-a-plate! From the moment I walk in Im immediately wrapped up
in a luxurious yet understated beautiful cocoon. Warm friendly faces greet me and incredible
aromas entice me from the kitchen. Once a glass of bubbly is placed in my hand all my troubles
just melt away!
Chef Roland Passot's Russian Hill jewel box restaurant is a must in my opinion. By far one of
THE most exquisite dining experiences in SF; the natives have known this for the past 25+ years!
Chef Roland continues to keep his hand in this kitchen and his brother George Passot and Rob
Renteria our Sommeliers lovingly pair the most wonderful wines with each and every one of our
meals! Thats why I keep going back for virtually all my special celebrations and events! From
scallops & sweetbreads to lobster & mushroom risotto, to crispy duck, quail & squab to desserts
sprinkled with gold, its heaven! LF Lounge is located next door for a less formal bite to eat such
as salmon lollipops, truffle popcorn (absolutely sublime) and rich gourmet mac & cheese!

Betelnut 2030 Union Street - www.betelnutrestaurant.com
9-10 minute walk (.35 miles)
This is THE PERFECT happy hour place just a few blocks away, simply walk down the hill and
turn right onto Union Street. Their fun, friendly & HAPPY servers will smile & greet you as you
choose an outdoor table set up just for you to enjoy your 4pm happy hour experience!
Try their small plates such as the oysters with sriracha-lemon granite or their sui gow chicken
dumplings. Some of the favorite larger plates include the wok-fried cauliflower with tribal salt &
jalapenos to the banana leaf grilled Hawaiian wahloo with ginger, kaffir-lime, lemongrass and
togarashi butter.
M.Y. China 845 Market Street (Under the Dome) - www.tastemychina.com
40-50 minute walk (2.43 miles)
You may have seen him on TV but now you can experience his authentic Chinese cuisine here in
SF! Martin Yens place is where you go to see world champion noodle dancers pull giant balls of
dough into thousands of thin noodles in minutes using only their bare hands. Enjoy the hand-
folded dim sum delicacies, the bang-bang chicken wings and the saut辿ed garlic pea shoots or try
lobster SIX ways! (Seasonal menu). Taste all this & more while sitting at the bar under the 1800
pound Monastery bell sipping a delicious concoction known as Under The Bronze Bell
(Prosecco, ginger liqueur and St. Germain) YUM!

Starbelly is a casual Castro neighborhood caf辿 serving California comfort food created by Chef
Adam Timney and sports a creative beer and wine-based drinks selection. When you walk in
expect to feel a California-laid-back atmosphere featuring a large patio and communal table
fashioned from a bowling alley lane.
They serve you hearty meals for weekend brunch, lunch and dinner and they are open a little
later! And you cannot miss Chef Adams First Tuesdays Patio Picnics (Spring & Summer) for
which he creates specialized menus including whole roasted pig, southern fried chicken and
honey-maple ribs and then pairs these delectable creations with local beers and wines!

piece of sweet cornbread for dessert!
The American Grilled Cheese Kitchen 1 South Park Ave. www.theamericansf.com
80-90 minute walk (3.17 miles)
They serve pretty many kinds of gourmet, quirky and regular grilled cheese sandwiches and
some you couldnt possibly imagine! Theyre gooey, warm and delicious! They also serve mac &
cheese (surprise!), soups, salads, fries and fresh baked goods! Not a good place for a dairy or
gluten-free diet. They have outdoor seating and a kooky meets nerdy fun lively & casual crowd
and its virtually across the street. They are open 7 days a week with extended hours on game
days. Pickup and delivery is available

Super Duper Burger 2201 Chestnut - www.superdupersf.com
15-20 minute walk (.46 miles)
Super Duper Burger is QUALITY fast food & SLOW value burgers, fries, and shakes! They are all
made with the best ingredients available. The beef is 100% Niman Ranch all natural beef and
they grind it fresh every day. Their shakes and cones are made with organic Straus cream from
Petaluma and they bake their pies and cookies in-house for their sundaes! The menu also
includes a free-range chicken breast sandwich and an organic Veggie "burger" and you can
literally put your hand in the jar for HOUSE-MADE pickles as a side dish! I love that all of their
packaging is compostable because they care about our environment just as much as they care
about their burgers. 5 different locations throughout SF!
Tonys Pizza Napoletana 1570 Stockton St - www.tonyspizzanapoletana.com
45 minute walk (1.64 miles)
Tonys is in the heart of SFs Little Italy and its known for his SPECIAL prize winning thin Crust
Pizza Margherita and is a World Pizza Cup Winner in Naples, Italy. The only non-Italian ever to
win this prestigious awardbut dont just try a pizza from one of three different wood-burning
ovens. And yes, Tonys is known around the world for their pizza and it is wonderful, as is the
spicy calamaria
For me, THE BEST DISH EVER is not their pizza but the Spicy Chorizo Mussels! Seriously, no
one else has any dish like it! I have brought my friends in JUST for this dish and they bring their
friends in for it and so on and so on and so on! For more recommendations, feel free to call, text
or email me! SF is a food-lovers town and Im the biggest fan!
