    Lombard Street is known as “the crookedest street in the world,” featuring eight sharp switchbacks down a steep hill lined with flower beds and historic homes. It’s worth a quick visit, especially if you’ve never seen it before—it’s a classic San Francisco photo stop.

    Ritual Coffee in the Mission, Sightglass in SoMa, and Blue Bottle (various locations) all have good coffee and a welcoming atmosphere for working or relaxing.

    Yes, it’s a must for local and artisanal eats, including Hog Island Oyster Co., Acme Bread, and Cowgirl Creamery. Go during the farmers market (Tues, Thurs, Sat) for extra local food finds.

    El Farolito in the Mission for burritos, Bob’s Donuts on Polk for 24/7 donuts, and Orphan Andy’s in the Castro for diner classics are reliable options after hours.

    Try Swan Oyster Depot (go early), Anchor Oyster Bar in Castro, or PPQ Dungeness Island in Richmond for crab and garlic noodles. These are local favorites with fresh seafood without the heavy crowds.

    The Mission District is packed with taquerias, bakeries, and trendy restaurants. North Beach offers Italian classics, and Richmond has excellent Asian cuisine. Each neighborhood has its own food personality.

    Absolutely. Shizen Vegan Sushi, Gracias Madre, and Golden Era are favorites for plant-based meals. Many SF restaurants have strong vegan and vegetarian options even if they aren’t fully plant-based.

    Head to Boudin Bakery at Fisherman’s Wharf for the classic, but if you want local favorites, check out Tartine Bakery in the Mission or Acme Bread at the Ferry Building. These spots serve some of the best fresh sourdough in the city.

    Yes, there are restrooms at the dock when you arrive and in the cellhouse area. Use the facilities on the ferry if needed before disembarking.
