SFist: "It's got its faults and some sketchy characters, but it's THE park of SF, period. It's got it all: stadium, conservatory, and some of the finest patches of grass on which to trip your balls off."
Bommy: "Very rich and indulgent ice cream. Staff is nice and patient as you sample through the entire menu. Avoid the line by going on weekdays or by just buying a pint. New flavors every month."
Laurence B: "Really friendly folks serving a tasty variety of ice cream, including a remarkable variety of vegan options; the vegan Rocky Road made it to my cone, which is a first for this dairy lover."
Tom Coates: "One of the most beautiful and helpful - and also one of the most expensive - garden shops in the Bay Area. They have their own little espresso bar which sells nice coffee and snacks. Lovely experience"
Eater: "Neighbor Bakehouse has been slinging breakfast goods at its own storefront for over a year now, and the croissants have already been rated as among the best this city has to offer."
PureWow: "Locals come here for coastal views high above sea level. Meander through the Sutro Baths, wander off to the nearby Legion of Honor or hike one of the many trails out to a great stone labyrinth."
Aleksey: "Beautiful park near the sea. You can walk through the conifers on the hill, or breathe the sea down below. I went here to watch the sunrise - one of the best sunrises in my life :)"
Betsy W.: "Follow the signs to Mile Rock beach. When you've almost reached bottom of stairs (~200 steps!), veer to the right up a hill to a plateau with mini-labyrinth, incredible view of the Golden Gate."
Jeffrey G: "Get here early for sublime birding in the dawn hours, grab an egg sandwich from Louies and hike down to the ruins. Warm up with a cappuccino when the cafe opens at 9 am."
Justin Sullivan: "Beautiful night and day. The scale is massive. Everyone is dwarfed beneath the dome. The grounds surpass the interior, but the massive fireplaces that you see on the inside are really cool too."
