Located near to the Alamo square's Painted Ladies is this wonderful gothic "stick" Italian villa with a long weirde history. Built by a Candy Baron in 1889, it's housed variously; a Russian Czarist nightclub, Jazz musicians, Satanists, a Manson family member, and one of the first 60's Hippy communes -Calliope. Creepy as hell enshrouded in fog after dark.

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

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

Small, 70yr old burial ground with DIY grave markers home to the likes of Smoochy, Schmelly, Saucy Wilbur, and hundreds of others.

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.
