Food Scene

My favorite dinner spot in Bernal Heights is a romantic little wine bar with a small, carefully crafted menu called Vino de Rosso.

Behind Liberty Cafe down a narrow little passageway with romantic lanterns you'll find a garden and brunch/bakery/coffee shop. Open until 10pm on weeknights in SF, which is quite rare! Favorite spot!

Sightseeing

You must, must, must climb to the top of Bernal Hill for views of the whole city. This is extra enjoyable if you can make it for sunset. This is a great jog in the morning.

Be sure to check out Clarion Alley, which has some of the best murals in the Mission. Afterwards consider grabbing a burrito at Taqueria Cancun. Many consider this the best burrito spot in the city.

Coffee culture in San Francisco is a big deal. Phil's coffee in the mission is one of the best. Each coffee is made custom. We recommend the Mocha Tesoro but you can't go wrong.

Arts & Culture

This is a great local SF music spot. Call ahead to find out when music is playing. It's free. Go, grab a Sangria at the bar and sit and enjoy. Very local, real spot. Patience will win you a seat.
