We want to share a few of our favorite places as locals; places that we built memories in. Of course, we still recommend the regular tourist spots like SF MOMA, Fisherman's Wharf, Golden Gate Park, Alcatraz, etc. There is just so much to see in this tiny town!
111 Minna Gallery

This is the place where Mark and I met. We met in the bar during an art show. I have done collaborated art shows here too. Image above is my original art.
Wonderland SF

Salumeria

This is the spot where we have the same thing every time. We come here at least 3 times a month. I order the BEST fried chicken sandwich and Mark gets the "Salumi" sandwich. We are planning to have our "The day after wedding brunch" here!
Absinthe Brasserie & Bar
398 Hayes Street, San Francisco, CA 94102, (415) 551-1590
One of my favorite French-mediterranean restos, enough said. Oh! and order the Flaming Spanish Drink, a mix of coffee, Kahlua, brandy, and actually-on-fire 151.
Farley's
1315 18th Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, (415) 648-1545
One of Mark's favorite coffee shop and the place where one of my favorite films "Sweet November" (with Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron) was shot. This was Chalize's characters neighborhood. Also where Antman lives.
Nick's Kitchen
2449 Geneva Avenue, Daly City, CA 94014, (415) 349-8370
Vegan filipino food. It's not a myth, it's true, you've got to eat it to believe it.
The Starlight Room

We love coming here to dance. Old-school lounge and city views.
Labyrinth Yoga

This place is so much fun! I spent my birthday here once. Asian fusion food and good entertainment.
Alamo Draft House

We love watching movies here. Great movie experience if you like your food and drinks handed to your table or if you like eating dinner while watching a movie.
Mission Dolores Park

We love having picnics here, staring into the city, and people watching... you will see lots of unique characters here. Just down the block is where we're getting married.
