Starlite is the perfect spot to grab pre-dinner drinks in San Francisco. The top floor bar has beautiful views of the city & they have one of the tastiest passion fruit martinis in San Francisco!

Gold Bar Distillery is a hidden gem. Located on Treasure Island in the old Pan An airport. You can take the ferry over which makes the experience even better. They have amazing cocktail flights and they offer food.

If you're looking for somewhere fun to go dancing in San Francisco, then this is the spot! They also have a fun happy hour on Friday's where drinks start at just $1 at 5pm and go up by a $1 every hour.

Completely obsessed with this spot! It has the best breakfast burritos and wraps in all of San Francisco. There is typically a line, but it's worth the wait!

Itria has such an incredible chefs tasting menu that's 6 courses for just $90 per person. It's a mix of crudo and house made pasta that's truly delicious. I recommend this restaurant to everyone who visits.

If you're looking for some delicious Dim Sum then this is the number one spot in San Francisco I'd recommend. They always have a line, but it moves pretty fast, or get their right when they open!

If you have a group or something to celebrate then I 10/10 recommend doing San Francisco Brewboat. It's BYOB, you can choose to petal or not, its a complete blast!

If you don't have a group then the Ferry is a perfect, affordable option to be on the water. I love taking the Ferry over to Sausalito and walking along the cute town.

If the sun is shining in San Francisco and the temp is above 65 degrees, then you are going to find people enjoying Dolores Park. It's massive, the views are gorgeous, there are tons of spots to grab food and drinks around and bring them to the park ...

Fort Point has insanely beautiful views of the Golden Gate Bridge and Bay. I feel like it gets overlooked, so it's such a hidden gem & worth heading to the Presidio to check out. It's also free entry!
