The only way to really belong to a city is to give it time. Over the course of living somewhere, certain events will unfold and organically ordain you as a bonafied citizen. Of course, if you only have a limited amount of time, there are some tricks to make your experience more authentic. Here are some of my favorite San Francisco rights of passage.
Pay sketchy-looking character $1 for contraband MUNI transfer.
You might not think a $1 discount is incentive enough to get involved in the stolen transfer cartel. Until you realize it’s going to get rid of the pesky man who’s breathing cloves and Seagram’s down your neck at the 49 stop. Yay for supporting local startups!
Wait for table at restaurant for over two hours.
I don’t miss much about living in L.A., but I suppose when you’re hungry, there’s a certain charm to those middle-of-nowhere strip mall Thai food nail salon hybrid restaurants that never seem to have any customers. Planning ahead is essential in the compact city of San Francisco, and sometimes reservations even take forever.
It’s all okay, because the of the unique sense of camaraderie one develops by drinking liquor from a paper bag on a crowded sidewalk. Your pizza has never tasted so good.

They give you free tea for your sidewalk pow-wow. Hint: Don’t spread this around, but you can call ahead to put your name in.

Mine was a Peruvian shaman named Ricardo. He told me that he was a jaguar in a past life, and that if I would like to return, we could do exercises to figure out which animal I was in a past life. Anyone want to go back with me?

Have leftover sushi rejected by homeless man, as he is a vegetarian.
Kombucha cocktails?
Maybe I’ve crossed the line with this one.
Have steamy dream about rolling around on a lavish oriental rug with Gavin Newsom.
Sustain injury from stranger's Slip 'N' Slide at Dolores Park.

These guys will totally give you a napkin to wipe the blood from your lip, no questions asked.

Have hardcore makeout sesh in shower curtain bathroom at Hemlock.
Yeah, right! I wish I were cool enough to have done this. This story is all my roommate’s. But I like to live vicariously through her wildly unsanitary adventures.

I definitely waited for two hours plus for my delicious spring onion bechamel pie. With Bi-Rite next door, a slew of bars down the block, and a waitress who will totally hide your wine bottle by the door jam, the wait only adds to the experience.

Best to try getting into this world fusion restaurant during off-hours if you want a little elbow room.

Get into argument with snippy potter over whether wheel-throwing is an art or a craft.

And here I thought taking a ceramics class would be a great way to make new friends! Either way, I emerged with 20 pounds worth of nebulous clay accessories.

Wake up with one of those mini Fernet bottles in your purse.
