Practical guides

One small city, many microclimates

San Francisco is compact and hilly, and the weather can change between neighborhoods: fog in the Sunset, sun in the Mission. Locals are just as particular about food, from Mission burritos and North Beach focaccia to dim sum on Clement Street and sourdough nearly everywhere.

How SF 10 decides

Each category is researched across the city's neighborhoods. We look for a standing with San Franciscans that has held up over time, and every address, phone number and set of hours is confirmed before publication. Lists come back for review on a steady cycle.
