The mission, yes. I would say some of the least photographed areas are around the postal center in the bay shore and hunters point area. If you want something non-touristy but quintessentially SF then uh I would definitely go with the mission, the De Young museum, and Market street Muni’s.

Strongest Recommendation: The Working Docks in South East SF.

Unfortunately in North Beach you often pay for way more than you actually get in terms of food quality.

Aziza: Fabulous original Moroccan cuisine with heavy California influences. Damn tasty and not expensive. Far out in the Richmond.

Cha Cha Cha’s: Amazing Tapas, roaring atmosphere on the weekend. Go to the Mission location.

At both of these places the food is high quality, artfully prepared, and won’t blow a hole in your pocket.

If you’d like to blow a hole there though, go to Gary Danko’s. It’s worth it.

As you may have guessed, all you really need to do is wander around Valencia street (near 16th) and Haight street (near Masonic).

I also highly recommend the goodwill on Fillmore at Post, and on South Van Ness at Mission.

Hope you have fun!
