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.

Mission Street art gallery displaying beautiful losers. Ryan Mcginley, Barry McGee...

You have a lot of hills to choose from in San Francisco but in my opinion the best (and most varied) views are from Bernal Hill. Bonus: from my kitchen table I can watch tiny blobs moving around on this hill-- slow blobs are people, fast blobs are dogs.

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.

Worker-owned, hole in the wall bakery worth waiting in line for.
