This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in the city. I have literally eaten more than 500 super steak burritos from here. I cannot recommend it enough. They're also famous for their fish tacos. Great decor and a salsa bar!

I found this place by accident one night doing touristy things with my parents in Fisherman's Wharf. It was a spectacular find and has become a tradition now when my parents come back to visit. It's a very nice, small Etruscan restaurant owned and run by the chef. He'll come out to talk to you after your meal to make sure everything was delicious (it was, I assure you). Great wine selection, too. Can't recommend this place highly enough.

This place has my favorite burger AND cheesesteak in the city, but just about everything else on the menu is fantastic. If you go here, ask for James (the chef) and tell him I sent you! Also, if you're into it, great, unique trivia on Wednesday nights (7:30). They do breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

This isn't a "restaurant" per se, just a food truck with a wood-burning oven. They make only a few pizzas, but they're really good. They're also super quick. If you want to walk up, you can get a pizza in like 5 minutes or less, but they'll also deliver if you're feeling like staying in.

If you're feeling hungrier, you can order a [number] by [number] to indicate patties and cheese slices and they'll make it for you, no matter the number! You can get your fries animal-style, too.

If you want to see what San Francisco is really like, head to Dolores Park on a beautiful weekend. Bring a blanket and some beers and maybe a frisbee and just hang out in the sun and people watch. Who knows, maybe you'll join another group in a lawn game or dance contest or any of the other limitless things that happen there. They've recently redone the entire park, so there's a relatively new kids' playground and new restroom facilities on either end of the park. Also very LGBTQ-friendly.

Wine country! Sonoma county has beautiful rolling hills dotted with lush vineyards that supply a lot of California's wine. Most vineyards have a tasting room, and all of them will get you to try their "tasting clubs". If you're into getting wine shipped to you on a regular basis right from the vineyard, it's maybe worth considering. Worth checking out if you have the time (and designated driver!) for the trip. To make a day of it, you'd need to get up pretty early, but I've done day-wine-country trips before :)
