Best Cheap Eats In San Francisco San Francisco is not only home to some of the country's finest restaurants, we're also home to shockingly inexpensive yet tasty fare as well. Here the best spots in the city to grab a good bite on the cheap. A slice from Arinell's. (Photo: Shanan) ARINELL PIZZA Hands down the best New York-style slice place in the city, Arinell is often mistaken for just another crappy-looking pizza shop like the many across S.F. serving doughy, poorly cooked slabs of mediocrity. The dough is thin, the slices are generous, and the cheese is properly molten and greasy when they pull it out of the oven, and many a Yelp review will confirm that this joint is an oasis for all East Coast transplants who thought they couldn't find such pizza anywhere here.

The New Guinea Sculpture Garden at Stanford During the summer of 1994, 10 master carvers from Papua New Guinea worked in residence to create a permanent outdoor sculpture garden of New Guinea Art at Stanford University. Jim Mason, Project Director and graduate student in anthropology, is responsible for bringing the artists from the Middle Sepik River Region of Papua New Guinea to Stanford. The project is not an attempt to recreate a traditional New Guinea environment but, according to Mason, "an opportunity to experiment with and reinterpret New Guinea aesthetic perspectives within the new context of a Western public art space." (The photographs included in this Web project are not intended to be a comprehensive documentation of all of the works present at the site.)
