Down at the bottom of the Mission is a almost cartoon-like round hill that juts out from the endless houses and pretty much sticks out (when it's not shrouded in cloud). I live right by it and on a...

A friend took me to Gratitude to give me a unique San Francisco experience, and I wasn't disappointed. Aside from being vegan, Gratitude plays with a lot of the standard restaurant conventions. For...

I don't know of how much interest this wil be to anyone else, but I really love silent films and I was super excited when I found out about the Silent FIlm Festival. I had no idea that any such...

I was in San Francisco for Independance Day this year, and of course I saw the fireworks and of course they were very nice in their way, but they were blown out of the water by the Fillmore Jazz...

Cafe Boheme isn't a particularly special cafe in any discernable way, but I've taken to going there a lot recently and it grows on me more every time. It's right next to the 24th and Mission BART...

I don't know where to start with describing how awesome the Castro Theatre is.I guess it's like stepping back into the era when cinema going was at its peak. It only has one giant screen, complete...

Strawberry Hill mostly intrigued me because of the name - I found blackberries there but no strawberries. It didn't look like the shape of a strawberry to me either, so the mystery hasn't really...

I like to think of myself as a connoisseur of parks throughout the world, but I've never managed to figure out what it is that makes a great park great. Delores park is a good example - it's pretty...

The Mission district is pretty much dominated by two never-ending roads - Mission and Valencia - and I can't decide which of them I prefer. Mission feels very Latin, with South American grocery...

San Francisco's districts are all very distinct and each has an individual character. I've totally fallen in love with the Mission District. It's quite a melting pot, though predominantly Hispanic...

Miyako Old Fashioned Ice Cream parlour really lives up to its name; when I first stumbled upon it I felt like I'd gone back in time. It manages to create a kitschy Americana feel without being...

I have to say that San Francisco is not quite all that I had envisaged it to be. However having said this I am myself probably to blame as to save money we opted for a cheap motel down town. It really schocked me how much poverty there was in the city.

One feature of an airport that I am really attracted to, is whether or not it is accessible by public transportation. Not a fan of having to pay $15 to $40 for ground transportation to my hotel, I...
