The best pizza in San Francisco! Pro Tip: You can join the waitlist online to reduce your wait time by using Yelp. I recommend adding yourself to the waitlist about 30 minutes before you'd like to dine, and an 60 minutes ahead of time on Friday and Saturday nights.

Great brunch! There is typically a ~60 minute wait on weekend days, however if you are staying during the week, it will only be about 30 minutes. You're a true San Franciscan if you wait in line for brunch for over an hour!

A classic for brunch or dinner - and no need to wait! Park Tavern accepts reservations in advance and also does pretty well at accepting walk-ins as well. A little bit pricier, but worth it for the tasty food and lack of wait.

A very trendy restaurant with great Japanese food (sushi + non-sushi are both excellent here). The lounge downstairs is a bit more laid-back, while the upstairs is more formal dining. A bit pricier, but delicious and a great spot for a date night.

The Ferry Building Farmer's Market happens every Saturday and is a great place to pick up fresh produce or a full meal. It's grown quite a bit over the years, and is a favorite from tourists and locals alike.
