Guidebook for SOMA and San Francisco
Food Scene
Everything on the menu is solid italian food - and the pizzas are oven baked; you basically can't go wrong with any pizza you pick.
Also - the bar is great to watch a game and have dinner!

Rocco's is a great straight forward, Italian-American diner where you can find solid food, including breakfast. Nothing mind blowing, but definitely solid.

Deli Board
1058 Folsom StEast Coast Sandwiches on the west coast - but a bit pricy.
One of the most famous coffee shops in the city, and definitely the neighbourhood. You'll find the coffee shop is basically a massive building where they roast and distribute their coffee. It is now a flagship store with any more franchises around the Bay.

Sausalito is a fantastic place to visit for the day - you can get there by ferry, bicycle or drive. It's a small boutique city, with gorgeous views of San Francisco. If you want to rent a bicycle - let me know, and I can recommend several places. Ferries run from the "Ferry Building" in San Francisco to Sausalito.

Arts & Culture
I wouldn't call this a museum per-say, it's contains two very cool things:
1 - A living Borneo Rainforest, with a lower level that is probably one of the best aquatic areas in North America
2 - Digital Planetarium, and one of the worlds largest.
On Thursday nights, they turn the academy into a nightlife with drinks, djs and mingling.
