A-16 Restaurant

A-16

We love going to this little Italian restaurant in the heart of the Marina District. Their osso bucco is especially delicious!

Florio on Fillmore Street

Florio Bar & Cafe

Florio is our favorite Pacific Heights bistro and regularly serves up casual but tasty French fare. The steak and frites are always a hit!

The patio

Sociale

Sociale is hands down our favorite restaurant in San Francisco. Tucked away down a narrow brick alley, it's the perfect combination of atmosphere and cuisine. If the weather is good, we definitely recommend dining on the patio.

Julius Castle on the side of Telegraph Hill

Julius' Castle

Boom Boom Room

The Boom Boom Room is a great venue for small live music performances and dancing. It's in the historic Fillmore Jazz District.

Pearl's Jazz Restaurant

Pearl's is our favorite jazz club in San Francisco. It's right in the heart of North Beach, where there are also many restaurants and bars.

The Opera House

War Memorial Opera House

This is the home to San Francisco's wonderful opera company. If you're an opera fan like Margaret and are in town for an extra day or two, a night (or afternoon) at the opera could be the perfect activity.

Ferry Building Tower

Ferry Building

Every Saturday morning, the recently renovated Ferry Building hosts a fabulous farmers' market, with vendors selling all sorts of yummy treats. We love coming by to pick up a loaf of fresh bread and some organic cheese and olives and then heading up to Marin Headlands for weekend picnics!
