Sightseeing

Quaint local park filled with new moms pushing expensive baby strollers, dogs and their people, and assorted Bernal errata. A nice track on which to run laps, if you're into that kind of thing.

Food Scene

Standard coffee shop with nice backyard. Lunches are OK; coffee is mediocre at best. Good if you're in a bind but better options in the neighborhood (like Sandbox down the street).

Good but not great. Back winebar is cozy but for incredible food and better atmosphere head directly across the street to VEGA, where the locals are.

Standard breakfast fare. Nothing special, but does the job. You'd be better off heading to 903 a block away.

Standard Mexican. Not my favorite Mexican option in the neighborhood, especially considering all the truly legit options on Mission Street.

Drinks & Nightlife

Best avoided. Loud TVs, weird crowd, mediocre drinks. You can do better (like, the Wild Side West down the street).

A Bay Area institution. Very cool and quirky drinking hole with an amazing beer garden. Beer garden closes at 10pm so be sure to get there early. Regular bar stays open late. Check it out.

Everything Else

A must-see. Don't even think of not making it to Bernal Hill if you're staying in the area. 360 views of the city in all its foggy glory. Check it out at sunset/sunrise. Obligatory for any visit.
