• The place I like to take someone special on a nice date is Bobo's Steakhouse on Lombard Street. I have been going there for years.
• My favorite pizza in the city is the hole in the wall up in North Beach, Golden Boy. It isn't anything special to look at but a must go to when in the neighborhood.
Drink

• My favorite coffee shop is Philz Coffee because of their strong Turkish coffee. Great way to start my day.
• A local place I like to get a drink is Gestalt. It is this awesome dive bar in the Mission with German sausages and liters of cold German beers.

• The best place to shop for souvenirs and fun gifts is on Stockton St. in Chinatown because of all of the unique and fun trinkets and shops.
• My other favorite neighborhood for shopping is Noe Valley because there is something for everyone and more than a few great restaurants to grab a memorable meal at.

• Mission Cliffs is an indoor climbing facility for all levels. Get a workout without being stuck in a regular gym and have fun while doing it.
• After a climb, enjoy a beer and a burrito at El Faolito or one of the other many tasty taquerias of the Mission.

• The big ole jugs of beer at Beach Chalet. For $20, you can purchase a jug of beer from the downstairs bar. Refills are $10 each and the Beach Chalet jug is yours to keep forever. On a nice day, drinking one while taking in Ocean Beach is an only-in-San Francisco experience.
• There's nowhere else in the world to get garlic fries like the ones at AT&T Park and nothing that tastes better!
