“It’s an odd thing but anyone who disappears is said to be seen in San Francisco.”
– Oscar Wilde
Last weekend Joe & I went up to San Francisco for a show, which happened to be in the Mission. The Mission is one of my favorite neighborhoods – there are some great restaurants, shopping, cute apartments, and of course, Delores Park.
Activities
• Delores Park: This is the best spot for a picnic or a leisurely afternoon
• Shopping: Valencia Street has tons of fun boutiques
Restaurants
• Tacolicious: I’ve been a fan of Tacolicious for years – we even own their cookbook!
• Rhea’s Deli & Market: For all your picnic needs – I love a good sandwich!
Sweets
• Le Marais Bakery: Family-owned cafe with classic French dishes & incredible pastries (the treat pictured above is a peppermint croissant twist!)
• Dandelion Chocolate: Small batch artisanal chocolate! My favorite items are the classic hot chocolate, European drinking chocolate, s’more, and the chef’s tasting. They also offer tours and classes!
• Bi-Rite Creamery: Handmade & small batch with high quality ingredients
• Tartine Bakery: It may seem crazy to include a bakery I’ve never been to but it’s high on my list & it’s a San Francisco classic!
Since we just moved back to the area, I feel like there is so much more to explore. I’m excited to expand this as I discover new restaurants and activities! For more recommendations and updates, I highly recommend following along on Instagram.
Please comment with your favorite spots in the Mission!
