San Francisco’s public transit system is one of the best in the country. This matters because San Francisco was originally built on seven hills. You can get a great workout by walking or biking around the city. However, public transportation can sometimes be the most convenient option. You can get around downtown San Francisco by using the cable car or Muni, while BART makes it easy to travel to Oakland or San Jose when necessary.
Your San Francisco experience will be different depending on which neighborhood you choose to live in. Each neighborhood has a different reputation. Haight-Ashbury is known for being a hotspot for young adults and hipsters. Entrepreneurs and business people enjoy living in SoMa. The Marina is the best place for recent college grads and anyone who wants to maintain proximity to the city’s best nightlife.

San Francisco is known throughout the region for its delicious and unique cuisine. Because the city is so diverse, you’ll find food in the area from a variety of cultures and influences. The proximity to the sea also provides visitors and locals with tremendous seafood. Hog Island is located in the Ferry Building and is one of the most popular seafood restaurants in the area. Their clam chowder in a bread bowl is one of the best meals in the city. For Mexican food, try La Corneta, San Francisco. Their burritos are a delicious combination of rice, beans, traditionally prepared meat, pico de gallo, and avocado. If you’re in Chinatown, you can’t go wrong with dumplings or Dim Sum at China Live. Looking for a prix-fixe menu? We recommend Spruce. Save room for dessert at Mara’s Italian Bakery, a family-run business that has been a neighborhood staple since 1911.
