Mo’s is a great burger spot. The meat is ground chuck and cooked exactly the way you like it. The menu includes all the standard burgers and more, including some with blue cheese and other combs worth trying.
They’re flame broiled, like you’d do in the backyard, without all the complications. There are two locations: one in North Beach at 1322 Grant Avenue, which is a fun neighborhood of shops that most tourists miss completely. You can spend hours or just window shop along the street as you do. The location at Yerba Buena Gardens has a completely different vibe, but it’s equally tasty. It’s near the Metreon, but you can walk over Howard Street, South and it’s on the same level, near the ice arena. Stop and watch hockey practice or young aspiring figure skaters practicing their twirls. It’s fun for the whole family. There’s even a bowling alley there too. Another fun and quirky thing to do here in San Francisco.

This little hidden shopping center is often overlooked, but it’s filled with some fun finds and great shopping. If you need a fabulous new suitcase, a fast tasty meal, or a quick chair massage for next to nothing, take a little (and I mean little … as in steps away) side trip off Market Street. It’s very, very close to Montgomery and Market. Discover it and let me know what you think?

This little local chain of cheap and cheerful Italian, has been a consistent favorite of mine for over 12 years. It’s dependable and constantly evolving with new dishes, but I keep eating some of the original standards, and they’re all good. I love the Misa salad with chicken as a main course, and a glass of Zinfandel … with some ultra fresh focaccia.
Pasta P has a nice collection of wines to compliment any meal. And, try the tiramisu, which is better than some I’ve had at fancy schmancy places at twice the price.
My favorite is on Market Street, in the Castro … easily accessible by street car, Muni or bus. Tell ‘em RandySFO sent you! Check their Web site for more.
