| Restaurants: We've got many favorites here in the City by the Bay. We'll be adding more but here are three great places for travelers, visitors and locals alike. Sodini's - 510 Green St, San Francisco, CA 94133 (415) 291-0499. We love this place for the best hearty Italian food. Sodini's has been a recent locals only favorite place because of it's small intimate setting, great staff and spectacular food. There are usually crowds and reservations are not accepted so stop by, check-in, and take a quick walk around the Streets of North Beach. Try the house Chicken Alla Sodini. Your stomach will thank you! Far East Cafe - 631 Grant Ave, San Francisco, CA 94108 (415)982-3245. For great Chinese food on a budget try this restaurant right in the middle of Chinatown. The food is good and perfect if you're on a budget. And for the kicker, if you have a notebook computer, they've got free wi-fi for customers. Afterwards walk off your meal thru the streets of Chinatown to find all types of great souvenirs and cool knick-knacks. Gatip Classic Thai Cuisine - 2205 Lombard St, San Francisco 94123 (415)292-7474. We've tried every Thai place imaginable and Gatip is the only place that compares to the "Kingdom". Located in the Marina and not far from the Golden Gate Bridge, try the Som Tam (Papaya Salad) and Larb Moo (Pork Dish). |
