Hands down the best place to watch an English Premiere League or international football match in the city. And great for sports in general, with tons of TVs, a solid menu, and good beer selection.

Most of the legendary SF burrito and taco joints in the city are in the Mission, but lucky for us these guys wandered across Market St into Duboce Triangle.

A lot of the nearby sushi joints are decent, but this one's a city-wide contender. It also gets a little crowded, though not nearly as tough to be seated as Sushi Zone on Market.

One of the best sushi joints in SF. Sadly, also one of the smallest - probably best not to bother if you don't arrive by 4:30 pm to hold a place in line before they open at 5.

Funky laid back atmosphere, great sandwiches and salads, often live music playing. Say hi to Zara for me - she's the owner and one of the most charming personalities in the neighborhood.

My other favorite coffee joint in the hood (next to Cafe International), lacks the funky flair but arguably serves better coffee and has a fabulous Parisian atmosphere.

One of two hard-to-resist ice cream spots on this block (the other is "Smitten" across the street). If you're cutting back on the delectable dairy then you might want to steer clear of this block.

Just opened a year ago, methinks the Safeway across the street may not last much longer. Pay attention to the price tags - a lot of things are cheap enough, but there are some lavish items in there.
