Old-school Italian deli offering artisanal meats, cheeses and breads, with takeaway sandwiches and fare. It truly is a gem in the heart of the city and is not one to be missed. 

Take a break from the big city and enjoy an afternoon and sunset at Ina Coolbrith Park. This wonderful place is green and most importantly, peaceful. The views of the Bay are truly something else. 

An independent bookseller that specializes in world literature, the arts and progressive politics. It is a lovely gathering space for writers, creatives and book lovers. Step inside and be amazed by three floors of great books. 

San Francisco's swank private club (don't worry, you can join). Perfect for a stay you are willing to splurge on it. The Battery hotel was recently awarded not one, but two Michelin Keys which means it truly is an exceptional stay.
