Best Dumplings in SF
These are some of my favorite Dumpling spots. All reasonably priced and specialize in having good XLB.
Dumpling Specialist
1119-1123 Taraval StOld guys, new tiny spot. The dumplings are even better this time!
Great variety of veggie dimsum. They come around on little carts and can be a little pushy so be clear about what you want. Also the chrysanthemum tea is incredible

Best of San Francisco Coffee
This is SF's favorite local coffee. Beans are a medium roast so its not a super bitter dark coffee. The capuccino is super consistent and always great. Can have lines..

À ne pas manquer
Sourdough bread!
San francisco’s famous food item is its sour dough bread! Just a slice of this with a bit of salt and butter is heaven. People often freeze carry this bread as a souvenir. You can find it in most stores and some good bakeries like Tartine!
Que faut-il apporter ?
Bring comfy walking shoes
SF has hills and its a walkable city but you need good comfy shoes that you can wear all day!

The Hamilton performance!
The fabulous Hamilton is playing in SF at the Orpheum theatre in the civic center neighborhood! But you need to book tickets well in advance. Tickets are $95 a pop and can be purchased 30 days in advance online!
Coutumes et culture
Tipping 15% is expected
Ideally we tip 15 - 18% on the pre tax bill. Restaurant staff in San Francisco restaurants are paid minimum wage and do heavily rely on tips to survive in an expensive city. It does seem a bit steep and you don't have to tip everyone like cabbies, but waiting staff does expect a tip.

The Cable Car!
Although this is considered a bit touristy it’s a wonderful experience. Stand in the edge and experience the wonderful views of Sf as it goes through the Sf hilly neighborhoods! Costs 5$ and starts at Powell street!
