This is one of the best cafes in San Francisco. It's my secret spot! It's quiet and lovely, but a bit far to reach. Great backyard to sit in.

One of my favorite things to do. Just hop on the "N" MUNI Outbound at Duboce Park and take it all the way to the beach. Bring a book or hand out on the sand, and then go in for a coffee!

Essentials

For your basic groceries, go up the hill to Haight St Market. There are closer markets to home (Falletti's or Bi-Rite), but they're overpriced. Okay, Bi-rite has good ice cream.

A good place to get your produce. The people who work there are gems. Give them a smile! Also, give them cash. They don't accept credit card. (I know, is this the '70s?)

Okay, clearly I love to buy produce and groceries. A great place to get them is on Clement Street. Indulge in California-grown clementines, kiwis, and root vegetables in winter, stone fruits and avocados in the spring and summer.

Parks & Nature

I head up to Buena Vista for a brisk morning walk or jog and follow trails to the top. It's a lovely place to be. I'd only suggest it during the daytime, as its a bit more isolated.

As of writing (Nov 2016), it's still under renovation. But when it's open, I do most of my reading in Alamo Square. It's beautiful in the mornings, windy in the evenings. See the Painted Ladies!
