Great for a splurge and treat. Usually need a reservation, but if you have a small group, show up early (6pm or before) and you can usually get a spot at the bar for dinner. Amazing food and wine.

Recommend this highly as a reasonable lunch, although still good (but a bit pricier) for dinner. Korean food and Korean-inspired fusion food that is delicious and tasty. Try the okonomiyaki!

Upscale grocery with a great deli counter. Definitely pricey (and a line on good picnic days in the park!), but if you're willing to pay, truly delicious meats, wine, produce, etc.

Drinks & Nightlife

More upscale than a typical bar on 16th, this is a must go for beer aficionados. There are over 100 craft beers on tap, and the bartenders are experts to help you pick. Also a pretty good burger.

Total hidey-hole of a bar. If you go to the back room (the Hideout), you'll find a cramped but cozy space with a separate bar that has always changing but delicious craft cocktails.

The best spot for drinking on a nice day other than Dolores park. A huge yard with picnic tables and a huge draft beer selection good for pitchers makes it ideal (also a grill with burgers).

Shopping

Amazing ice cream in intriguing flavors like salted caramel, olive oil, basil, roasted coconut, etc. Watch out for a long line though, although if you're getting soft serve, try the second window.
