Guide to the Outer Sunset
Places to eat in my neighborhood
The Sunset is definitely a bit more spread out, but the food options abound. Here are my personal favorites.
This little bakery has the best breakfast sandwiches, made with freshly baked biscuits. It gets crowded after 10AM on weekends, but weekdays you're home free.

On a warm San Francisco night (which, yes, there are few) grab your friends, buy some firewood from the Safeway on Fulton & 48th and roast some hot dogs while watching the sunset. It's best to get out there pretty early—they fill up quick and the park service comes around 9 to dose all the fires.

Shopping
Super cute little boutique carrying vintage finds and wonderful trinkets. Their candle game is very strong. Insider knowledge: the shop owner often has cider or sangria out for guests to sip on while they browse.
