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.

Reliably divey, with an ample back patio, ill-advertised punk shows and the occasional appearance of dollar oysters.

Fancy fusion Omakase with local ingredients. If you feel like treating yourself. delicious!

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.

Here is another place packed with visual stimuli, along with weird smells and busy sidewalks. I love roaming through all the shops, venturing deep down the aisles to hunting for all things odd and unknown. So much to see, I wish I had extra eyes!
