Food Scene
This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in the city. I have literally eaten more than 500 super steak burritos from here. I cannot recommend it enough. They're also famous for their fish tacos. Great decor and a salsa bar!

I found this place by accident one night doing touristy things with my parents in Fisherman's Wharf. It was a spectacular find and has become a tradition now when my parents come back to visit. It's a very nice, small Etruscan restaurant owned and run by the chef. He'll come out to talk to you after your meal to make sure everything was delicious (it was, I assure you). Great wine selection, too. Can't recommend this place highly enough.

This place has my favorite burger AND cheesesteak in the city, but just about everything else on the menu is fantastic. If you go here, ask for James (the chef) and tell him I sent you! Also, if you're into it, great, unique trivia on Wednesday nights (7:30). They do breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

This isn't a "restaurant" per se, just a food truck with a wood-burning oven. They make only a few pizzas, but they're really good. They're also super quick. If you want to walk up, you can get a pizza in like 5 minutes or less, but they'll also deliver if you're feeling like staying in.

Quintessential California fast food. If you like burgers, order a double-double "animal style", which is special sauce and grilled onions (more or less). If you're feeling hungrier, you can order a [number] by [number] to indicate patties and cheese slices and they'll make it for you, no matter the number! You can get your fries animal-style, too. Don't be deterred by the ridiculous line, either. This place is packed from the moment they open until they close the doors, but they're pretty quick at getting their orders out. If there are are a ton of people, expect a 20-30min wait to get your food. Worth it, though!

If you're thinking about coming here, you can either make a reservation for a private table WAY in advance, or you can show up, put your name on the list, and come back in 2-3 hours to eat at the communal table. I've eaten here a few times and I can tell you with supreme confidence that it is absolutely worth the wait.

Golden Gate Park is a huge park on the west side of the city that has everything. I discover something new in there just about every time I go. Lots of open areas for BBQ/picnicking and sports-ing, a great disc golf course, driving range, soccer fields, hidden gardens, but also some nature walks and even great museums (de Young, Cal Academy of Science) and a ton of other things. Can you find the herd of buffalo living in the park? Yes, really.

If you want to see what San Francisco is really like, head to Dolores Park on a beautiful weekend. Bring a blanket and some beers and maybe a frisbee and just hang out in the sun and people watch. Who knows, maybe you'll join another group in a lawn game or dance contest or any of the other limitless things that happen there. They've recently redone the entire park, so there's a relatively new kids' playground and new restroom facilities on either end of the park. Also very LGBTQ-friendly.

San Francisco's beach! It's long and deep meaning there's plenty of room to spread out, play beach games, or go in the (usually pretty chilly) water. This isn't SoCal, so I'd bring some warm things even if it's nice further east in the city. You won't always need it, but you never know in San Francisco. They have fire pits, too, if you want to start or join a bon fire on the beach!

Wine country! Sonoma county has beautiful rolling hills dotted with lush vineyards that supply a lot of California's wine. Most vineyards have a tasting room, and all of them will get you to try their "tasting clubs". If you're into getting wine shipped to you on a regular basis right from the vineyard, it's maybe worth considering. Worth checking out if you have the time (and designated driver!) for the trip. To make a day of it, you'd need to get up pretty early, but I've done day-wine-country trips before :)
