Guidebook for San Francisco
Parks & Nature
The grassy dome that tops Bernal Hill -- lush and green in the winter, dry and faded in the summer -- brings to mind the windswept Scottish Highlands as you hike the brief but steep climb to the summit. The lofty view casts out over Noe Valley, the Mission, China Basin and the downtown skyline and extends to Marin and the Golden Gate Bridge. The park is a popular off-leash dog park, so much so that one solo walker was recently asked, in all seriousness, "Hey, where's your dog?"
Amazing 360 view of the city - def worth the trip!!!

Before 2004, most parents would have looked at you blankly if you asked them about Holly Park. Though it's one of the city's oldest green spaces, it had a reputation for being a bit rough and the playground was, well, lame. A dedicated community effort brought about a $2 million makeover, complete with colorful playhouses, slides, swings, cargo ropes and a lovely little picnic area off to one side. At the top of the hill, there are basketball and tennis courts, and spectacular views.

Food Scene
Head down to Alemany Boulevard on Saturday morning to this historic farmers market, which has operated in its current location since 1947. The selection of produce reflects the true cultural composition of San Francisco: Instead of the gourmand offerings of the Embarcadero farmers market, you'll find inexpensive produce like bok choy and plantains, in addition to the more conventional seasonal harvest of the region. Open Saturdays from dawn to dusk, rain or shine. 100 Alemany Blvd., at the junction of Highway 101 and Interstate 280, (415) 647-9423

Essentials
The stock at this small neighborhood grocery reflects a hybrid sensibility of living green and living it up. The environmentally conscious shopper will find recycled paper products and shade-grown coffee beans, but unlike the Mission's strictly vegetarian Rainbow Grocery, this market has a butcher counter, and a good one. The cheese, produce and wine sections will also please foodies. 448 Cortland Ave., (415) 648-3221.

The standing advice about this Sunday-morning flea market is to go early -- all the best things disappear early. However, as long as you arrive by 11 am or so, it's still a good bet you'll discover an unexpected treasure. The number of booths depends on the weather and the time of year -- summer is the peak flea-market season -- and the nature of the wares varies wildly depending on the week. You might find vintage clothes and dishes, baseball cards, movie posters, butterflies under glass or children's toys from the '70s that you didn't know were collectible until now. Your success in bargaining will be influenced by how eager a given vender is to make a sale. Be brave and name your price, j
