Teresa Au: Have a Dark and Stormy specialty drink! Gosling black seal rum, lime, simple syrup, ginger solution and fever tree ginger ale.
Stephanie Moyers: Amazing and delicious meals! Octopus and Roasted Chicken were wonderful!
Brett Lider: Douchey as fuck but damn I like to be able to sit down and look at gorgeous architecture.
annie 🧸: Chicken soup for an alcoholic's soul: the matzoh ball soup, paired with challah toast and a boylan's ginger ale. Slurp down and try to ignore the slabs of pastrami the size of your hand
J John: Get the chicken salad if they have it on special; best ever. The corned beef: You just can't find anything as good anywhere in the West Coast! Chocolate babka worth a Seinfeld level public meltdown
Travel + Leisure: Take a matzoh brei breather at this post-ironic Jewish deli where they brine their own pastrami and the walls are papered with fading Yiddish newsprint.

Masio Winston: The Fever Tree Ginger Ale is the real deal... you have to donthat and most of their starter menu, I.e., pork belly sliders, duck hearts, omg
Liza P: Great Blood and Sand cocktail, also recommend the bone marrow appetizer.
Eater: The Alembic is one of those bars where the drinks take time to make, but they're also hands-down the best in the hood, perhaps in the city.
Eric Wuebben: Go hear on an empty stomach. Try everything, including (not limited to) coffee, oysters, real ginger ale, pig parts and chocolate.
Leslie: Frog Hollow Farm has wonderful pastries. Try their mochas as well very good and pretty design on top.
Bravo: The Ferry Building is very popular, and I recommend it to anyone who is visiting San Francisco. They've got great restaurants (Slanted Door, MarketBar) and a morning farmer's market a few times a week
