Several various unique neighborhoods, but all of "Downtown" is to where Transit and the streets flow. It is where I go when I want to feel like Herb Caen, Gary Cooper, or a metro, or even where i go to just get a good Sammy or some fish and Chips. Always beautiful people everywhere, and unique treasure abound, hidden around every corner.
Another “blue” restaurant, also run By Micheal Mina. Excellent food, a splendid bar and hot staff make this hot spot hip. Advertized only by the picture windows on the street, the suits and skirts one sees can be quite baiting. I love the high ceilings and decor as well.

Under the Hilton on O’Farrell street, a prime location for the Yuppies to migrate from the Financial District, to hang out at before or after a show on Geary, or even for families hiking around. It only opened last Thursday, but there are three unique niches: a formal dining room tucked into the back, a hopping Marble Bar area with a hot lounge section exposed to the street, and a cocktail / dining area centered around a common table. The chef and management are hand-picked from Micheal Mina’s restaurant group. Perfectly cooked Halibut and Salmon plates, excellently followed up by a decadent Peach Melba light, refreshing Sangria float. Almost every detail was hand-picked with loving care, from the wall decor, crystal lamp-covers, pine rafters and seating to the mascot: an eight-hand model horse built from… antique car parts.
An architect from the team and good friend of mine. Behind you can see the bar and one of the FOH managers. We are seated at the common table.
I really don’t know how I ended up here in North Beach. Last thing I knew I was at Harringtons on Front Street, but the Glenmorangie must have got away from me. Not that I’m Complaining, this is a great bar during the week.

One of my favorite nightspots, and not just because it’s “Blue.” Great mixed drinks, it was a frequent watering hole when we would get off work at E&O, and hosts DJ’s regularly,and they clear the floor for dancing.

An upscale gourmet marketplace, offering such delectables as organic fruits and vegetables, fresh seafood, artisan bread and cheese, fresh herbs and much, much more, the Ferry Building Marketplace is a must see for food-lovers of all tastes. Housed in the historic Ferry Building, constructed in 1898, the myriad of shops, restaurants, cafes and specialty grocery stores offer a dazzling selection of culinary delights in an unbeatable seaside atmosphere. Conveniently located on the Embarcadero, the marketplace is easily accessible by various forms of public transportation, such as Bay Area Rapid Transit, cable car and ferry boat.
A little outdoor covered plaza, great to stop for a coffee shop at the high end shops, or grab a bite. Tulleys is a frequent stop for me, as is the stationary store.

A 210-foot, art deco tower which stands atop Telegraph Hill, Coit Tower offers a spectacular, panoramic view of San Francisco from its apex, making it a popular attraction for visitors and locals alike. Built in 1933 at the bequest of philanthropist Lillie Hitchock Coit, the tower is home to an amazing array of Works Progress Administration murals painted by such artists as Jose Moya del Pino, John Langley Howard and William Hesthal during the Great Depression. Located in North Beach on Telegraph Hill, the tower can be reached by climbing the steep, but lovely Filbert Street steps.
It’s the Harrod’s of San Francisco, and actually covers two blocks. The basement has a food court that hosts a Wolfgang Puck restaurant as well as a Ben and Jerry’s, and it’s fun to go up to the third or fourth floor to overlook union square.
