Summary: The sushi here is really a delight as it is fresh and impeccably assembled, with perfect rice. But what sets this sushi bar apart from the scores of others in town is that each chef assembles for just the few patrons sitting in front of him. A full Japanese menu is also available. Because it lies at the crucible of the Inner Sunset's parking inferno, leave plenty of extra time or just take a cab. Reservations are advised, but even so, the wait can be long once you are there.

Summary: Baker Beach is a state and national public beach on the Pacific Ocean coast, on the San Francisco peninsula. It is roughly a half mile long, beginning just south of Golden Gate Point (where the Golden Gate Bridge connects to the San Francisco Peninsula), extending southward toward the Seacliff peninsula and the Palace of the Legion of Honor and the Sutro Baths.

Baker Beach is part of the Presidio, which was a military base from the founding of San Francisco by the Spanish in 1776 until 1997. When the Presidio was decommissioned as a U.S. Army base, it became part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, which is administered by the National Park Service.

Baker Beach was the original site of the Burning Man art festival. Its north end (nearest the Golden Gate Bridge) is a well-known nude beach.

Summary: At Nick's, you will find a festive environment and the best crispy tacos around. We don't just do tacos - we offer other specialties like tasty burritos, corn on the cob and fresh juices. Located inside Harry Denton's Rouge on Polk Street, we're a great way to start (or recover from) a night on the town! But get here early - it's take-out only after 8:30pm!
