The best sourdough is made here in the Bay Area, and Boudin is the King of Sourdough! Stop by here and grab some clam chowder served in their famous sourdough bread bowl if you need a break from shopping in Union square.

If you're a fan of the Vietnamese noodle dish, "Pho", then Turtle Tower is a must try! They serve a northern style noodle that is wider and flat, as opposed to the more common southern style noodle. I recommend their chicken noodle soup. If you're feeling bold, try it with giblets!

Chances are you'll have to wait in line for a table here, but I promise you- it's well worth the wait! Mama's on Washington Square is a small breakfast/brunch spot with the feel of grandma's kitchen. I believe all of their breads are baked in house... and every single type is SO GOOD!

Parks & Nature
The Embarcadero is a beautiful place to run if you're looking for a scenic workout. An early morning run lets you get a perfect view of the Bay Area, and it's right down the street! Security is also great about patrolling the area at night.

Lands End is across the city, though still a short bus or taxi ride away! The incline is very flat so it makes for an after-lunch walk. This is a great way to view the ocean while getting in a bit of exercise. You'll also get a gorgeous view of the Golden Gate Bridge!

Drinks & Nightlife
Barbarossa is a new lounge that opened within the past year. It's dimly lit and has a great ballroom-effect ambiance. The venue is Prohibition-themed with a local twist, fusing vintage Alcatraz handcuffs with bondage art decor.

Cigar Bar is great for groups, and folks who want to have a fun night out with friends. They have an outside smoking area and food as well- though I usually come here after dinner!
