Hi Dive San Francisco
Unlike most of the hoity-toity spots along the waterfront, Hi Dive is a straight-up bar for guys’ guys and the girls who love them. Cheap brews (especially at happy hour), passable bar food, sweet views, and a rowdy crowd always make for a good time.

Tartine Bakery San Francisco
It’s hard to pinpoint one reason to love Tartine: Is it the flies-off-the-counter fresh-baked bread; the buttery morning buns; the ooey-gooey breakfast bread pudding; the giant, steaming lattes; or simply the people watching out the cafe’s corner windows? The answer: all of the above.
