SAN FRANCISCO
Insider’s Guide to
Welcome to San Francisco—the City by the
Bay! S.F.O., cable cars, hilly streets and beautiful vistas—a
great place to live— an even greater place to live it up.
To help you find some of the city’s finest in dining and
entertainment, we’ve put this guide together and cut through
the clutter to let you know about the best places to eat, drink
and then eat some more.
We asked our Bay Area friends for their recommendations
on where to sample the local cuisine. The result is a list of
those secret locales only the locals know about. After all, at
Sonnhalter, we not only like to get our hands dirty…we like to
get them gooey too!
When you’re not busy with business, be sure to head
up—or down—the street to sample some of the many
hangouts and hideaways. And make it a point to check out
the famous landmarks, but most of all, enjoy…there’s no
place like San Francisco!
