Murals! where? everywhere! walls, streets, signs, windows. keep your eyes peeled. I walk a lot in San Francisco and always seem to find new murals in the least expected places. They are a constant source of inspiration, and make me wish I could paint worth a damn.

“You can taste the love” sounds like a cliché until you actually taste it and realize you are poor cynical human being who has never been to Alicia’s tamale stand! Especially on foggy days, these lovingly wrapped warm packages of deliciousness are indispensable.

One of the best bookstore i've been. Good selection of design / art book as well. The staff is super nice and knowledgeable. A must.

By appointment only. Large archive of lettering, typography and calligraphy.

Start the day with a well-balanced overpriced coffee in an industrial setting.
