I got to spend 8 days in San Francisco in May as part of CiscoLive! (Exclamation is part of the show name, not just me being enthusiastic.) Although it was for work, I visited a couple of great spots that I wanted to write down. But, I also figured I’d add a few other notable places that I’ve enjoyed over the years visiting SF. Hopefully this list can be useful for other folks heading to SF!
- Hopwater Distribution Great atmosphere and 30-ish California beers on tap.
- Zushi Puzzle Excellent sushi – I think they specialize in Salmon somewhat.
- Hotel Vitale Stayed here in the past. Awsome location and spa.
- Tosca Cafe Old-school feel bar. I’ve heard the Italian food is excellent.
- SF MOMA Modern art.
- La Boulange All over the place in SF, but a nice spot to pop into for an early breakfast or easy lunch.
- R&G Lounge Haven’t been here myself, but have been told that it’s a solid Chinese place in Chinatown.
- Grant Plaza Hotel Haven’t stayed here myself, but great bargain in SF according to friends who have stayed there.
- California Science Academy Interesting museum that takes you through many biospheres all in one building. Tasty cafeteria as well!
- Hog Island Oyster Grab some bubbly and an order of oysters.
- Tomales Bay Oyster Company Has been recommended to me, but haven’t had the chance to try it out. I hear you can grab a beer and shuck oysters on the beach. Seems that Hog Island also has a similar concept going on nearby a mile up the road.
