Guidebook for San Francisco
Sightseeing
Quaint local park filled with new moms pushing expensive baby strollers, dogs and their people, and assorted Bernal errata. A nice track on which to run laps, if you're into that kind of thing.

Food Scene
Standard coffee shop with nice backyard. Lunches are OK; coffee is mediocre at best. Good if you're in a bind but better options in the neighborhood (like Sandbox down the street).

Good but not great. Back winebar is cozy but for incredible food and better atmosphere head directly across the street to VEGA, where the locals are.
