Paris: Places I Love - 101 Cookbooks - Healthy Recipe Journal. Below are a few of the places I've enjoyed in Paris. The ones I look forward to revisiting when I travel there again. Keep in mind, this is by no means a comprehensive list or guide. More often than not, I run short on time, and never seem to make it through my travel hit-list. Instead, try to think of this as an ongoing, ever-evolving, all-in-one-place city page.

101 Cookbooks - Healthy Recipe Journal. Many of you have written to me in the past requesting a list of my favorite "everyday" places to eat, drink, and shop in San Francisco. Here's a stab at it. This is by no means a comprehensive list of all the great places in this city - it's more of a brainstorm of places I find myself often. Many I can walk to from where I live, others take more effort - a hop on a train, or a trip across town via car. It's clear I know some neighborhoods better than others. I thought this list would be most useful if organized (very roughly) by neighborhood. This way, someone visiting from out of town will have a bit of a go-to guide they can print and slip in their pocket (or bring up on their phone).

I'll do my best to update this, and if you're coming to San Francisco I hope you enjoy your stay here.updated 3/28/12.

May 7, 2014 | By Adam Roberts | 13 Comments People often ask, when they read posts like these, “How did you not explode eating all of that food?” Normally I answer, “Oh, I only took small bites” or “I burned it all off by walking a lot.” But the truth is, I did explode after our week, last week, in San Francisco. My hands are typing this, but my face is across the room, and you don’t want to know where my lower half is.

But let me tell you, friends, it was totally worth it. We ate like kings (and queens, as the case may be) from Wednesday to Sunday and now you get to eat like kings and queens too–well, with your eyes–as I take you back through it. Why were we in San Francisco? Which is why, on Wednesday, when we were on the way to LAX, getting ready to fly to Oakland where a car was waiting to whisk us off to Pixar, it was almost a Greek tragedy when Delta called to say our flight was canceled. Needless to say, it was a great day. And the chocolate pot de creme for dessert: Octopus: Me?

Vegan Guide to San Francisco. By Leo Babauta San Francisco is my favorite city in the world, and living here has helped me become fully vegan (Eva too, as of last year!). I thought I’d share a (non-comprehensive) list of places to try for fellow vegans visiting the city. It’s the result of my exploration of many places, good and great, which has been admittedly a lot of fun. You won’t get to all of these, so I’ve marked my favorites. All-Vegan Spots Restaurants with only vegan food: Millenium: An absolute favorite, and a must-try for any vegan new to San Francisco.

All-Vegetarian Spots These restaurants serve no meat and are great places for vegans: Greens: Come here for dinner at sunset and enjoy the view of the water. Vegan-Friendly You’ll find a ton of places in San Francisco that are vegan friendly (almost every place but steakhouses), but here are some that I like: Samovar Tea Lounge: Highly recommended for the artisan tea, you’ll be very happy with the vegan food options.

East Bay Vegan Spots Day 1 Day 2. The Best Vegetarian Restaurants in San Francisco. San Francisco is the best city in the world for vegetarians. I’ve said that previously about Chiang Mai in Thailand which certainly is an excellent budget option, but on our third visit to San Francisco in July we were reminded what a gourmet heaven it is. It’s an amazing place for anyone to eat. The city has easy access to quality, locally grown, organic ingredients. Its food scene is diverse with cultures from all over the world represented. And it has a population who loves to eat, and who cares about the quality of the ingredients they are consuming.

Add to that a sizeable vegetarian community and world class chefs who cook creatively without meat, and it really is a vegetarian paradise. In San Francisco you could eat at a different vegan restaurant every night for weeks before exhausting them all.
