Sightseeing

A great place for hiking and biking. I usually ride my bike here 3 to 4 times a week (weather permitting). Always an abundance of wildlife, and great views of the bay.

If you are traveling with your dog, this is a great dog park to let them run around at. It was built fairly recently so it's in great shape.

Food Scene

This has been a local favorite since I was a kid. Their huge portions have never changed. Their breakfast is the best, but the whole menu is great.

As a Filipino, I think it's a good idea to promote Filipino food. There are a number to choose from, but I always recommend Gerry's Grill for first timers. Message me for menu recommendations.

Known for Vietnamese sandwiches (but they also have other choices). Their prices haven't changed in years (you can still get a Banh MI under $6). Warning: they get super busy during lunch, and they only take cash.

My all time favorite restaurant. Get a reservation if you can, if not, they always have last minute cancellations and no shows.

In and Out and 5 Guys are great for a quick meal. But if you want to sit down and enjoy your burger in a classic diner atmosphere, Val's is a great place to do it at.

If you are touring San Francisco and find yourself at Pier 39, this is a great place for clam chowder. Order it in a bread bowl with a side of fried zucchini.

Take BART to San Francisco for a day trip.

If you are going into San Francisco for the day, I recommend taking BART. It is much easier than trying to find parking in the city.
