Things To Do In San Francisco
Faking It: Gourmet To Go
With the exception of that mysterious insomniac known only as Mr. Pizza Man, the best chefs usually want to serve you in their restaurants. But the requisite hassles--reservations, parking, changing out out of your jammies--can make eating out more trouble than you're up for. Get your gourmet and giddyup with these gastro to-go options.
Daredevil Dining: Offal, Embryos and Amphibians
Growing tired of standard San Francisco fare? This city has no shortage of eclectic, offbeat eats, if--that is--you're willing to think outside the bread bowl. Intestines and insects might not be high on your list of cravings, but you’ll never know a true delicacy until you’ve tried. Whether they make your mouth water or your stomach turn, gear up for some of the Bay Area's freakiest foods.
5 to Try: Izakaya Houses
Izakaya houses, also known as ale-houses in Japan, are springing up all over the city, introducing San Francisco to Japan's comfort food cuisine--pork, fish and veggies, braised, pickled, and fried--and the copious sake and beer drinking that often goes with it.
Coffee Cognoscenti
San Francisco's coffeisseurs demand not only perfectly-roasted, fair-trade beans, but expert preparation, artful presentation and hipster cache with their caffeine fix. Here are five cafes that exceed those requirements, and contend for the title of the city's--and maybe the world's--best cup of coffee.
