my perennial favorite restaurant. Roast chicken is must-have (you must order only when you are seated, and it then takes 40 minutes to prepare). One of the best burger in SF must be ordered with shoe string fries - available for lunch and late night (after 10:30PM only)

located in wee little hole, on a quiet block of Irving street. They make their espresso drinks with my preferred Ritual Roasters beans, their roast is lighter than italian style charred espresso beans. Decent selection of pastries and a craft shop next door round off a perfect morning excursion for a coffee (its 15 minutes walk down the hill from us) using bus+walking you can get there in under 10 minutes.

A less busy yet a top-notch chinese restaurants specializing in dim-sums. Top things to order 1. chicken steamed buns! from dim-sum menu (a refreshingly complex and yummy alternative to sweet baked pork-buns)! 1.b other dim-sum goodies per your liking 2. Ton Kiang Steamed Salt Baked Chicken (Half) - this dish is deceptively simple yet exquisitely prepared. You can have it with steamed rice or along with classic Yang Chow (prawn and pork fried rice 3. Steamed/braised Pork-belly with dried mustard greens - very tasty! Complex and rare to find in chinese restaurants in US, goes great with steam-rice

Indian cuisine prepared with attention to detail, not your typical curry shop. Must have dish - (seasonal menu hard to pin down) some of my past favorites - 1. Bison Keema served with home-baked buns - hits home-run every time 2. lamb-chops 3. Chicken Biryani - classic prep, not a curry shop rendition

plenty of national coverage! a wide variety of produce, meats and food specialty items (mushrooms, oils, teas, utencils etc). amazing selection of food vendors. I recommend porchetta sandwich and rotisserie chicken stand or a take out from "Out the door" extension of Slanted Door vietnamese restaurant. Market assembles on Tuesday and Saturdays (during daytime).
