This place is a disaster in the best of ways. The owner has been collecting random books since the 1970s, so if there’s something old that you can’t find anywhere else, you can probably find it here. Check out the mammoth collection of old magazines in the basement. McDonald’s – not to be confused with the hamburger man – is on quite possibly the most unsavory street in the Tenderloin. You will probably have to walk over two passed out heroin junkies to get through the door, but it’s well worth it. This place is an institution.
