Food scene
If you’re gluten free, I highly recommend the GF scone, brownie, and muffin in that order.
For a wheat-free option, the cowgirl cookie is an excellent choice if you’re into raisin nut, dark choco chip cookies.
Also, you can never go wrong with their pizza of the day (sorry, not GF).

My favorite, local Italian and pizza spot in the neighborhood. I recommend sitting at the upstairs patio if available or at the bar which is first come, first serve. Good for solo travelers or groups no larger than 4.

Local favorite for sandwiches, but this is my go-to spot for salads in the neighborhood. Generous portions at an affordable price. Get their rotisserie chicken. It's delicious!

Lands End Trail
Lands End TrailTake a bike ride across the Golden Gate Bridge 🌉 into Sausalito for lunch on the waterfront. There are plenty of bike shops in the Marina where you can rent for a half or full day. Bike through Crissy Field, across the Bridge, and down to Downtown Sausalito. Be sure to grab a map from the shop before you leave. From Sausalito, you can either take the ferry back or ride back to the City.

Cute local spot offering beer, wine and small bites, with a unique selection of organic wines. For a convenient trip from my place, consider renting a bike nearby rather than walking the long distance. Enjoy!

Sports/dive bar around the corner from my apartment. Discover a hidden gem inside - there’s a Mexican kitchen that serves up nachos, tacos, and burritos. Their veggie burrito is top notch 👌
