Great for evening drinks. They have an outdoor heated patio with views of the bay bridge. Their happy hour (all day) deals are awesome -- $5 drinks and pizzas for $7. Best deal around.

Great restaurant for foodies. The menu changes daily, and the dining is very high quality. If you're there during the day there's nice views of the bay.

Essentials

Local corner store just a block away. Beer, wine, groceries, and all the basics. Not the cheapest prices but super convenient. Great salad bar.

Sightseeing

Highest point in the NE corner of SF. Amazing panoramic views. Also a great run from our place. It's ~4 miles if you run down Embarcadero, up Coit Tower, and back. Beware: there are lots of stairs!

Great park in downtown SF. Feels the most like Manhattan of anywhere in the city. Great for relaxing on a sunny afternoon.

Great place to get drinks at Yerba Buena park. Their sangria is awesome (but expensive ~$50/pitcher). Perfect place to chill on a sunny afternoon. They also have small plates of food.
