  • 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.

  • 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.

Drink

  • 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.

  • My favorite coffee shop is Philz Coffee because of their strong Turkish coffee. Great way to start my day.

  • City Lights Book Store is a San Francisco landmark where you can find multiple books to stimulate your senses.

  • Crissy Field is a great place to go for a run, walk or just toss around the football.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Enjoy a beer and a burrito at El Farolito or one of the other many tasty taquerias of the Mission.

  •  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.

  • The big ole jugs of beer at Beach Chalet. Share a jug of beer and enjoy the souvenir jug. 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!
