Welcome to my neighborhood. I love living here. Tons of great shops, restaurants, and bars. I live in a great part of San Francisco!
Cha Cha Cha - 1801 Haight Street - http://www.cha3.com
* Great Tapas! Great Sangria! This place is one of my favorites, for sure. Gotta love the shrimp (and there's a reason you can order extra sauce).
Zazie - 941 Cole Street - http://www.zaziesf.com
* Technically Zazie isn't in the Haight, it's in Cole Valley, but it's an easy walk and it's my favorite breakfast place in San Francisco (8am - 2:30pm). I've never been there for dinner. I should go sometime. The breakfast is just so darn good!
Ice Cream Bar - 815 Cole Street - http://www.theicecreambarsf.com
* If you're gonna get over to Cole Valley, you have to check this place out! This might be my new favorite spot in the City. Hand made ice cream and hand made soda. Yes that's right, soda! It's like you're at at fancy mixologist bar only they're making you milk shakes and sodas. Apparently, they make milk shakes like they did back in the '50s: pre-refrigeration and without ice cream! It's really neat. Just by chance we skipped the line, went to the back, and sat down at the soda fountain. The bartenders, um I mean soda jerks, really are amazing.
Little Chihuahua - 292 Divisadero Street - http://thelittlechihuahua.com
* All the good mexican food has left the Haight, but at least there's still Little Chihuahua. Hey, they've got the best horchata I've had in SF. When this mexican rice drink is done right, it's amazing. The food here is all free range and high quality. This is my roommate's favorite mexican place in the city. They make a mean wild mushroom burrito, a great garlic shrimp burrito, and you gotta love re-fried black beans.
Toronado - 547 Haight Street - http://www.toronado.com
* Looking for great beer? You've found your mecca in San Francisco here, my friend. They have an astonishingly large selection of beer on tap from all over the Bay Area and around the world. Try something from the Russian River Brewing Company. They're my favorite local beer.
Rosamunde Sausage Grill - 545 Haight Street - http://rosamundesausagegrill.com
* This is how Northern California does hot dogs. Wow, even their vegi-dog is amazing! I recommend getting one with sauerkraut, grilled onions, and honey-wasabi dijon mustard.
AND... While you're over here, check out every single used clothing store on upper Haight. There's like 7 of them or something, and they're all really good. We've even got a steampunk store called Distractions (1552 Haight Street). There really are so many great stores on this street. And when you get to the end, there's Amoeba Music (1855 Haight Street). It's like you've died and gone to record store heaven!
