Shopping area in Japantown connected by an outdoor plaza with a Japanese Pagoda. The malls feature some good food spots and as well as Kinokuniya Bookstore.

Nice selection of premium streetwear & sneakers in Dogpatch, stop by when you go to Minnesota Street Project

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.

For all your pie needs, from savory to sweet.

At the midpoint of the Filbert steps, near tourist favourite Coit Tower, The Malloch is a streamline Moderne gem built in 1937. I discovered it after watching Dark Passage, a 1947 Bogart and Bacall film noir. Lauren Bacall's character lives on the third floor and Bogey holes up there. A Deco beauty cruising towards the Bay. It has the coolest lift ever.
