Sightseeing
The quick walk uphill to Coit Tower is incredible and once you arrive, the views are spectacular. The murals painted inside the tower (by the Public Works of Art Project of 1934) are simply amazing.

Everything Else
Liguria Bakery (established in 1911) sells only focaccia and it is absolutely the best I've ever had. Get there early or call ahead and order because it sells out early in the day.

Historical and inspirational, this independent bookstore (founded in 1953) defines the beatnik world of North Beach. Give yourself time to browse and don't miss the Poetry Room upstairs.
