    About this ebook

    There are many people who are enthusiastic about food—the cooking of it, the preparation of it, the serving of it, and let’s not forget the eating of it.

    But Andrew Delaplaine is the ultimate Food Enthusiast.

    This is another of his books with spot-on reviews of the most exciting restaurants in town. Some will merit only a line or two, just to bring them to your attention. Others deserve a half page or more.

    “Exciting” does not necessarily mean expensive. The area’s top spots get the recognition they so richly deserve (and that they so loudly demand), but there are plenty of “sensible alternatives” for those looking for good food handsomely prepared by cooks and chefs who really care what they “plate up” in the kitchen.

    For those with a touch of Guy Fieri, Delaplaine ferrets out the best food for those on a budget. That dingy looking dive bar around the corner may serve up one of the juiciest burgers in town, perfect to wash down with a locally brewed craft beer.

    Whatever your predilection or taste, cuisine of choice or your budget, you may rely on Andrew Delaplaine not to disappoint.

    Delaplaine dines anonymously at the Publisher’s expense. No restaurant listed in this series has paid a penny or given so much as a free meal to be included.

    Bon Appétit!

      San Francisco 2020 Restaurants - Andrew Delaplaine

      Introduction

      Golden-Gate-WEB

      This is truly is a beautiful city with great weather. Sure, the fog rolls into the bay quite often, but this only adds to the romance. No matter what neighborhood you find yourself in, it will be either very colorful or have outstanding views of the bay, Alcatraz, the Golden Gate Bridge. This combined with the genuine friendliness of San Franciscans will, as Tony Bennett sang, make you leave your heart here.

      ––––––––

      If you find yourself with nothing to do in the city, which is highly doubtful, there is always beach, mountains or forests just outside the city. Not too shabby.

      ––––––––

      There are only a handful of cities in the U.S. that I’d call completely unique: San Francisco is one of them. The City by the Bay has an allure like no other in the world.  It has a dramatic setting that rivets the eye. No matter where you turn, there are spectacular vistas. Every neighborhood and even every street has a certain interesting look that’s hard to describe.

      ––––––––

      The neighborhoods of San Francisco are entirely distinct. When you move from one area to another – from the Mission to Union Square to Pacific Heights to Fisherman’s Wharf to Chinatown – you will find yourself in an entirely different environment, as if you’d traveled hundreds of miles. This is one thing that makes San Francisco so exciting: the huge range of diversity among its population.

      ––––––––

      The historical reputation of the city as a wild anything goes town from the Gold Rush Era has only slightly dissipated. The enormous gay population that gave modern San Francisco much of its outlaw glamour, devastated by the AIDS epidemic, still dominates large parts of the town. And while it looked like the bloom was off the rose for a few years, the city still has a dynamic and involved gay population.

      ––––––––

      It’s nice to be able to take advantage of all the outdoor activities available here. I’m not out there doing these things, but YOU ought to be: go to Alcatraz, visit Golden Gate Park (and do NOT rush) because this is a place that has that San Francisco feel all over it, take the Coastal Trail, starting from the Cliff House, visit the Wine Country, take the Powell-Hyde cable car (these are not called trolleys, but cable cars), walk (or bicycle) across the Golden Gate Bridge, walk along the Golden Gate Promenade, walk through the Haight to see what aging hippies really look like, walk up (or down) the Filbert Street Steps—these 380 steps lead you through some of the most interesting parts of town. You’ll marvel at the varied architecture.

      ––––––––

      Other musts include a drink at the top of the Mark Hopkins, the Sir Francis Drake or the Grand Hyatt. You won’t soon forget the views.

      ––––––––

      They say that walking across the Golden Gate Bridge is one of those things you have to do once in your life. (I’ve never done that—I’ve always driven.) But that sentiment can be applied to the idea of just going to San Francisco itself. This visit is one of those things you have to do once in your life. And, if you’re really a traveler, there’s no way you’ll not return.

      & TIPS FOR GETTING AROUND

      The fastest and cheapest way to get into the city from San Francisco International airport is by BART, the bay area’s subway system. The route will take you about 35 minutes (depending on where you’re
