What used to just be a dingy stretch of Divisadero is now a thriving neighborhood, complete with its own blockbuster restaurant. Slowly but surely, NoPa keeps adding dining, shopping, and nightlife destinations, one by one.

Lounge, art gallery, club: Madrone is all three rolled into one. More subdued groups chill at couches in the front, while live DJs (and specialty vodka drinks) heat up the action on the dance floor.

This downtown joint has a modern approach to the raw bar concept (think tuna cubes with ginger soy, siracha, and green onions) and plenty of Belgian ales on tap to wash it down.

The anchor of a little foodie paradise. Not only does the market itself carry artisanal products and goodies from local prepared foods/bakery fave DeLessio’s, but it’s also adjacent to Nopalito, the little sister of Nopa, serving farm-fresh Mexican fare. Shop, eat, retire.

Many a local claims that The Independent is her choice spot to see live music: It could be the intimate atmo or the strong (and we mean strong) drinks served in plastic cups. See for yourself.

Chef Lawrence Jossel’s Cal-Med menu of locally farmed ingredients is served in an airy, oak barn-meets-modern loft atmosphere. The house-ground burger is yum in the tum.

Little Star Pizza on Divisadero should be on this list. Best deep dish pizza in town!!! Ask anyone from Chicago - no joke. They have a cornmeal crust that everyone raves about - order the Brass Monkey!
