If I had to name a favorite bar in SF it'd be Zeitgeist. Specifically, the outdoor back area where anything goes. This is the bar I miss the most now that I've moved away from SF. Photo by JeffereyTurner

SF's version of a woonerf (or living street). Several small streets have been revamped like this around Market/Octavia.

This is my go-to burrito spot in SF. I don't know what kind of magic they work on their Pollo Asado Super Burrito but I can't find anything like it anywhere else in the country. I know naming a favorite burrito spot in SF is controversial -- but now that I live in Seattle I'd love any of these legendary burrito places to open a Seattle outpost!
