Whether you're grabbing coffee before work, enjoying brunch with friends, or heading out for dinner, you'll rarely need a car.
Some neighborhood favorites include:

Penny Roma – A neighborhood favorite featuring seasonal Italian cuisine and a beautiful outdoor patio.

Tartine Manufactory – Famous for artisan bread, pastries, coffee, and brunch.
La Taqueria – Widely considered home to one of San Francisco's best Mission-style burritos.
Delfina – An iconic neighborhood Italian restaurant.
