Good Hunan - their dumplings are some of the best in the City - ask for extra sauce - a tad sweet. salty & spicy! We love anything with their smoked ham, and the Diana's Meat Pie is crazy but good! The Vegetarian Curry with Tofu is excellent for vegetarians and they have brown or white rice. Great prices and they deliver! Menu in middle drawer dining room, right side.

Excellent Pakistani food at reasonable prices. A new, pristine location and you can order to go or eat in. Their food is amazing and very reasonably priced. I am not sure if they deliver, I believe not. Look for a take out menu in the middle drawer in the dining room with other worthy take out menus :) (if I don't have it, just go online and select Ocean Ave, which is the closest - their Mission location (16th & Valencia is great too - their original, but older and not as close).
4 Stars!

Ferry Plaza FM started out in a parking lot and has grown into a huge Plaza, with everything from chocolate, oysters, gifts, fancy desserts and of course pristine produce - all at $$$-$$$$ prices - but hey, you're on vacay and you brought some mad money I hope & This is the place to spend it. You'll find excellent quality items to pick up for a great meal or picnic. If you don't feel like cooking, hit any of the inside dining options within the market or outside (look for the ones that are busy) and you won't be disappointed. Sur La Table is here too. Then take the Ferry to Saulsalito and have a drink at Sam's!

Trader Joe's has excellent, unique and great quality items. If you're not already familiar with TJs, you'll be blown away. Fun stuff, great prices with none of that corporate grocery store BS that makes you feel bad afterwards and guilty at the mass production, overpriced junk they sell that has contributed to so many ills in this country and the world. OK, off my soapbox ;)

There are several boutiques with one of a kind things on Chenery Street in Glen Park. There are some vintage shops as well. I love Perch. Great place for a momento or iconic gifts to bring home. A little pricy, but most of these one of a kinds shops in SF are :(

This is where you get a sense of what makes the City so unique. Just park and walk around. Note - parking meters are outrageously expensive, so try to find 2 hour street parking if you're on a budget or take the bus. Grab a Bacon-Wrapped Hot Dog for lunch if you see a vendor!
