Some of the best & cheapest Vietnamese food you'll find this side of the Pacific!

All around good "California" style food (basically just add avocado to whatever dish.) Fun art on the walls, and a patio out back for nice days.

Great soul food, presented in a very modern & tidied up fashion. Not a bad bar, either.

Best. Brunch. Ever.
Expect to wait in line for 20-30 minutes, even on weekdays. If you go solo they'll often let you skip the line and seat you at the bar.

A true SF establishment. Quite a voyage, but you can get out here on the Muni (N line) and then hit up the Park or the ocean.

Some amazing pizza in the heart of Little Italy. Get whatever pies suit your fancy, but save room for dessert: the pear & gorgonzola pizza is worth the visit alone.

If you need the absolute closest coffee / sandwich, this is the place. A few steps further will get you much better of both.

One of the best hot sandwiches you'll ever eat. If you like to eat cows, get the Boca. I'm a vegetarian now and still dream about this place.

Drinks & Nightlife
Bloodhound

These people take more pride in their cocktails than most people do their own children. Worth a special visit. The food is pretty great for a bar, too.

Rated one of the top 50 bars in the world. The decor is fun (if you dig Tiki,) and the rum selection is seemingly infinite.

The dive bar's dive bar. You'll probably walk past it a few times before noticing the door. The drinks are cheap, atmosphere dingy, and the company is rowdy. One of my favorite after-midnight places.

This is THE best grocery in the city, if you ask my professional chef friend. To me, it's just a lot of high priced fancy food in a very tightly packed market :)

Sightseeing
Dolores Park is a bit of a hike (or a short BART ride,) but it's worth special mention. This is where every 20- and 30-something goes to spend a nice sunny afternoon. Even on weekdays.
