Food Scene

Fabulous caribbean tapas. Fun décor. The sangria of death (it’s sooo good). Great place for sharing. Reasonably priced. Rich food, everything is good. I love the spinach salad, the fried calamari, the fried platanos, the ceviche, and the flan. On weekends there could be a wait.

Who doesn't love Ben and Jerry's ice cream? If you got a hankering for a scoop (or two) or a sundae this is very close by. But be aware that you can get a pint of Ben & Jerry's at the Haight Street Market for not much more than a single scoop at this pricey scoop shop.

The best falafel sandwich I ever had. I get the Falafel Deluxe (which adds eggplant and potato to the grilled lavash). I love eggplant so I ask them to double up on the eggplant with no potato. So good.

The California Academy of Sciences is a natural history museum in San Francisco, California, that is among the largest museums of natural history in the world, housing over 26 million specimens. Completely rebuilt in 2008, the building covers 400,000 square feet (37,000 square metres) and is among the newest natural history museums in the United States. It features a planetarium, an aquarium (with nearly 40,000 live animals), and a four story domed rain forest that's teeming with life—from free-flying birds and butterflies to exotic reptiles, amphibians, golden silk orb-weaver spiders, and enormous Amazonian fish that glide overhead.

Entertainment & Activities

Brilliant improv. I love their Improvised Shakespeare and Improvised Musicals. They have made me laugh so hard it hurts (and that's good). The improvisers in this troupe are amazingly talented.
