San Francisco may be small by big city standards, but it packs a lot into its seven-mile-by-seven-mile grid. Each neighbourhood has its own identity, its own vibe, and even its own weather. Spend an afternoon in Haight-Ashbury, where indie bookshops and craft breweries sit next to tie-dye boutiques and vintage shops. Or take a cable car to Chinatown, known as much for dim sum and tea rooms as it is for upscale restaurants and dive bars. There's no shortage of nature here, either. You can hike in the Presidio, play volleyball at Ocean Beach, or sprawl out on Marina Green and take in the Golden Gate views. The food scene is constantly evolving, though staples like Mission-style burritos and the chicken at Zuni Cafe aren't going anywhere. There’s always something new to do, and we’ve got more recs, below.
