Sights & Bites
Dipsea, Steep Ravine, and Matt Davis Loop Trail
We love this trail. Forget Muir Woods, this is our default trail to experience the natural wonder of the area. The whole thing is about 8 miles but you can cut it into chunks and just do parts - all of it is worth while! Bonus points if you can pinpoint the section we used for our engagement photos ;)
Lands End Trail
A shorter, more iconic hike with stunning views of the Golden Gate Bridge. It is about 2 miles one-way or a 3.4 mile loop.
Golden Gate Park
You can spend all day exploring our world famous park. It is bigger than Central Park after all! Grab a Lyft bike or walk around. Some key points of interest include the Bison Paddock, Conservatory of Flowers, de Young Museum, the Japanese Tea Garden and a personal favorite.. Portals of the Past!
Hawk Hill
If it's thrills you want, it's thrills you may have! Renting bikes for the thousand foot climb up (and down) Hawk Hill will give you a pristine view of San Francisco. Starting from any one of the recommended hotels will result in a roughly 15 mile round trip.
Dalva
Have a drink where we first met! We headed over to Manny's after where Bella unveiled her surprise snack of chocolate covered crickets.
The Buena Vista
A personal favorite of Bella's Nana and a San Francisco staple!
Dumpling Home
Sean's go to dumpling spot! You can go wrong with anything on the menu but make sure to get the chicken wings and the soup dumplings.
Hook Fish Co
We love this spot for delicious poke, burritos, and fish and chips! We recommend ordering online ahead of time, then picking up your food and heading to the nearby beach. It’s the perfect place to enjoy your meal while watching the waves.
King of Noodles
The spicy beef noodle soup is the star of the show here, but with all the noodles being hand pulled you can not go wrong.
Panchita's Pupusería & Restaurant
A perfect spot in the Mission to visit for some delicious El Salvadorian food.
The Ice Cream Bar
The banana cream ice cream with hot fudge is Bella's personal choice!
Zam Zam
The perfect dive bar that meets martini bar in our neighborhood! The drinks are strong and the prices defy SF norms. It is cash only - so don't forget!
