Warm Water Cove (industrial decay!) Land's End Trail (hiking!) Aquatic Park (history!) Fort Funston (dogs!) Lyon St. Steps (fanciness!) City Guides (tours!) http://sfcityguides.org/ The latter: Mitchell's (best ice cream!) Taqueria San Francisco (best burritos!) Marcello's (best pizza!) Roxie's (best sandwiches!) Mario's Bohemian Cafe (best Italian sandwiches!) Dosa (best Indian, north or south!) Incanto (best awesome Italian!) Tomasso's/Pazzia (best typical Italian!) Clementine's (best neighborhood French!) Tong Palace (best dim sum!) Nopa/Range (best trendy!) Manora's (best Thai!) Them Ky (best Vietnamese!) Walzwerk (best German!) OK I'm starving! And happy it's almost lunchtime... Cheers!
