If you’re into books then the City Lights Bookstore – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_Lights_Bookstore – on Columbus Avenue is a must.

also: House of Naking on Kearney and Jackson- best chinese food in the city. they’ll treat you like shit, but what the fuck the food is superb. Best seafood in the city is PJ’s Oyster Beds at 9th and Irving. 24 Hour eats try Cafe Babylon on Market (close to the Castro). For Burgers – Bill’s Place on Clement and 24th (or thereabouts). Washbag in Washington Square (Frank McCourts brother is back behind the bar), and Edinburgh Castle in the Tenderloin for drinks (fave old hang out of Irvine Welsh and myself). The “new” de young museum is worth a visit. Stay away from the United Irish Cultural Center on Sloat. Complete paddywhackery.

Hi Damien, I second the suggestions that you cycle across the bridge. Get the ferry back from Sausalito. We used Blazing Saddles and they were grand. You can hire the bike and buy a ferry ticket off them. Also, if you're prepared to travel, we really liked Thanh Long (their webpage is here) out near sunset beach. We got the tram out (about 30 mins), booked ourselves in, took a walk along the beach then back for dinner. Beautiful, especially if you time the end of your walk for sunset.

fry’s isn’t in san francisco.

go to: red room beside the commodore hotel on sutter, amoeba records on haight and stanyan, people’s cafe on haight and masonic, noc-noc on lower haight (forget the x-street), cafe fleur on markey and valencia (i think). java cafe out at the ocean for an irish breakfast, dissident style.

but most of all, why don’t you go to starbucks in laurel village any night of the week at *midnight* and see what a wired community of young people could be like in the country if anyone had a fucking clue. even better, as eamon ryan will be in SF at the same time, bring him along and show him.
