They make only one pizza, a different pizza every day. It is excellent! They are also a bakery and make fresh-baked bread. Be careful: they close at 7:00 PM on weekdays, 6:00 PM on weekends.

This restaurant serves the traditional food of the Chomorros, the indigenous inhabitants of the Pacific island of Guam. The chef has taken this food and made it into a unique modern wonder. I had a magical evening there enjoying the tasting menu.

Getting Around

This BART station and its attendant bus stations are the transit center of the neighborhood. There is often a band playing and a small flea market on Saturdays. You can take BART directly to SFO. If you are traveling to the South Bay, take BART to Milbrae and transfer to Caltrain.

This is my kids' favorite activity in San Francisco. This amazing playground is built by the kids. When you go, they will hand you a hammer or saw or paint, and you create the playground and play in it. Amazing Bay views as well. BART on the Richmond line to N Berkeley and then take Lyft.

This state park is a great place to go camping without having to rent a car. Only accessible by ferry, it is quite wild, yet in the heart of San Francisco Bay. Like most State Parks, you will need to make a reservation before going. You can rent equipment at Last Minute Gear.

A heart of the Latino mission. They offer inexpensive walk-in classes in peruvian drumming, brazilian dancing, and a bewildering array of other artistic forms. Thought provoking Latino movies on Wednesday nights. Performances. A great way to immerse yourself in the culture of The Mission.

Shopping

"We don’t really want to get too into us right now. We run a pirate store. The less you know about us the better. Understand? Let’s just say that none of us are named “Petey,” none of us like the cut of anybody’s jib, and none of us has any fingerprints. Actually, many of us don’t have all of our fingers and one of us is missing an eye. We are a ragtag group of miscreants who sell pirate supplies in order to benefit the free programming that happens at our writing-tutoring center at 826 Valencia, and in classrooms all over San Francisco—and that’s all you need to know."
