Food scene
This is my favorite cheap but great food spot. Burmese food in a small hole-in-the-wall with counter service. I recommend House Noodles with Chicken and the Tea Leaf Salad. Both are $6.50 and great. Cant go wrong with Cold Noodles, or basically anything on the menu.

Always have a long sleeve layer to wear.
Even if its a warm summer day, SF nights will require long sleeves.
