Things To Do
Plow
Great place for brunch in our neighborhood! The lines are often long, so call ahead to check in.
'āina
Great for a different kind of brunch or dinner - Hawaiian fusion with locally sourced ingredients. Try the spam musubi or taro french toast!
Great Eastern Restaurant
Barack Obama's choice for dim sum!
La Taqueria
They've won an honorary James Beard award, and the carne asada super burrito is the best in SF (yeah, I said it).
Brenda's French Soul Food
A SF landmark, and luckily it happens to have the best New Orleans inspired food in the city! Great beignets, or try the fried chicken.
Hong Kong Lounge
If dim sum is in the cards, you can't go wrong here (or their creatively named sister restaurants Hong Kong Loungs II).
Liholiho Yacht Club
Great dinner spot with island-themed fusion dishes, with a solid prie fix menu.
Burma Love
Can't go wrong with this SF staple, which sticks close to the script for Burmese favorites (or try their namesake Burma Superstar, if you're feeling fancy).
Mount Tamalpais State Park
A great set of views on a fun hike in the North Bay. Less crowded than the Marin Headlands.
Muir Woods Visitor Center
Quite possibly the most iconic park in the Bay Area. The redwood groves here are breathtaking. Now requires visitor passes in advance, see NPS site for details.
Russian River Brewing Company
The original home of Pliney the Elder (and appropirately crowded because of this). Great brewpub in Santa Rosa to stop by on your way to or from Healdsburg.
BobDog Wines
Tim (owner) is the man, and if you can manage to snag a wine sensing tour with him, you won't regret it!
J. Rickards Winery
A great family owned winery just outside of Heladsburg. The owner's handlebar mustache is legendary.
Truett Hurst
Great spot for an outdoor picnic (with Big John's Market sandwiches!), pick a spot down by the creek and kick back for wine country bliss.
Big John's Market
This place is a one stop shop for your wine country touring - it's a local artisan grocery store, a bakery, a deli that makes some mean sandwiches, and a cheese selection that undoubtedly will pair with your wines.
Noble Folk Ice Cream & Pie Bar
How has the title not convinced you to go here already?!
Flying Goat Coffee
Great local coffee spot when you need a caffeine boost.
